Duplicate any WordPress post or page with one click. Saves copies as drafts, keeps live URLs untouched & lets you choose which attributes to copy.



== Description ==



**Duplicate any WordPress post or page with a single click — saving an independent draft copy immediately while keeping your live page, permalink, and SEO rankings completely untouched.**



[Duplicate Pages and Posts](https://www.google.com/search?q=https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicate-post-page-copy-clone-wp/) by [Icegram](https://www.icegram.com/) removes the tedious work of rebuilding proven post formats and page layouts from scratch. Hover over any post or page in your WordPress admin list, click **Duplicate**, and start editing your new draft in seconds.



No upsell nags. No bloated background scanners. No risk of overwriting live content.



= Why Choose Duplicate Pages and Posts by Icegram? =



Every growing WordPress site eventually hits the same bottleneck: you have a landing page layout that converts or a blog post structure that readers love, and you need another one just like it for a new campaign, client, or article series.



* **Instant One-Click Cloning:** The **Duplicate** action link appears directly inside the row actions of your **Posts** and **Pages** admin list views — zero extra menus or popups to click through.

* **Copies Always Land Safely as Drafts:** Every cloned post or page is created as an unpublished draft by default, ensuring half-finished edits or duplicate pages never go live accidentally.

* **You Choose Which Attributes Get Copied:** Configure exactly what carries over into the duplicate under **Settings > Duplicate Pages and Posts** — including titles, content, featured images, excerpts, metadata, or the complete post package.

* **Protects Your Original Permalinks & SEO:** Your live post or page stays 100% untouched at its original URL so search engine rankings are never disrupted.

* **Lightweight, Fast & 100% Free:** Built with clean, minimal code and zero frontend script overhead — no paid pro tiers or artificial locks.



= Compatible With Your Favorite WordPress Editors =



Whether you write in standard WordPress blocks or build complex landing pages, Duplicate Pages and Posts preserves your content and post metadata cleanly:



* **Gutenberg Block Editor:** Clone multi-block layouts, reusable patterns, and structured articles in one click.

* **Classic Editor:** Duplicate traditional posts and pages with all formatting and media intact.

* **Page Builders & Custom Metadata:** Preserve post metadata when cloning pages built with Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, or custom fields.



= Who Is This Plugin Built For? =



* **Bloggers & Content Publishers:** Reuse recurring article templates, roundups, and structured guides without copying and pasting blocks manually.

* **Marketing Teams:** Spin up seasonal landing page variations, A/B test layouts, and campaign pages in seconds while keeping the original design intact.

* **Freelancers & Agencies:** Build a master page layout once, clone it across every new site page, and deliver client projects faster.

* **Site Administrators:** Safely test content or layout redesigns on a draft copy before replacing a high-traffic live page.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==



= Does duplicating a post or page affect the original live content? =



No. The original post or page remains 100% untouched. Clicking **Duplicate** creates a separate, independent copy saved as a draft.



= Is the duplicated post or page published automatically? =



Never. Every duplicate is saved as a **Draft** by default so you can edit the title, slug, and content privately before publishing.



= What post attributes and fields can be included in the duplicate? =



Under **Settings > Duplicate Pages and Posts**, you can choose exactly which attributes are copied into the new draft — including the title, body content, featured image, metadata, or all attributes together.



= Will duplicating a page hurt my SEO or change my live URL? =



No. Because the duplicate is saved as an unpublished draft, search engines only see your original live URL. Before publishing the new draft, simply update its title and permalink slug for your new topic.



= Will this plugin slow down my website's frontend speed? =



No. Duplicate Pages and Posts runs exclusively inside the WordPress admin dashboard when you click **Duplicate** and loads zero scripts or stylesheets on your public frontend pages.



= Does it work with Gutenberg Block Editor, Classic Editor, and Page Builders? =



Yes. Because it duplicates post content and metadata directly in WordPress, it works seamlessly with the Gutenberg Block Editor, the Classic Editor, and page builders that store layouts in post content and post meta.



= Is Duplicate Pages and Posts completely free? =



Yes. Every feature in Duplicate Pages and Posts is 100% free with no locked settings or paid tiers.
