Copy page or post in WordPress

Afbeelding Copy page or post in WordPress

There are few downsides to WordPress, but if we have to mention something, it is, as far as we are concerned, the missing standard function with the ability to copy a page or message. But… fortunately, there are several ways to still manage to duplicate a post or page. In this article you can read why you would like to duplicate and how you can do that.

Why duplicate a post or page?

Sometimes you want to create a new post or page that is identical to an existing content. When it comes to a long post or page, it will take a lot of time. Even if you regularly publish posts, it can be very frustrating to have to manually add the content again and again. A way to make duplication possible saves a lot of time and work.

Hoe dupliceer je een pagina of bericht zonder plugin?

Earlier in this post, we mentioned that there are several ways to duplicate a post or page in WordPress. We’ll start with the fastest way when it comes to one post, but it may not be the most convenient way for more content. That’s why we only recommend this approach if you only need to copy one message and want to finish it quickly:

  1. Open an existing post or Page.

  2. Click anywhere outside a block or select the “document tab” in the editing window.

  3. Click the three vertical dots in the upper-right corner of the editing screen.

  4. Click on ‘copy all content’ within the menu.

  5. Create a new message.

  6. Give the post a title and click the first blank block in the edit screen.

  7. Copy the content

    Use the keyboard shortcuts to paste (on windows: ctrl + V’, on mac: cmd + V). The contents of the old message will now appear in the new message.

  8. Edit the message.

Use a plugin

The easiest and most reliable way to copy messages is by using a plugin. There are several plugins that make duplicating messages very easy, for example ,for example ,Yoast Duplicate Post‘ or ‘WooCommerce‘. The latter is actually an e-commerce plugin, but if you already use it, it is also possible to just use the features of WooCommerce instead of downloading an extra plugin.

With the plugins you can easily duplicate messages one-by-one, but if you want to duplicate multiple posts on pages, you can better do it in a bulk via the plugin ‘WP Bulk Post Duplicator’.
