Both these recommended plug-ins are well supported, which is important when navigating the slew of free plugins.

Yoast Duplicate Post by Yoast

https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-duplicator/

Yoast Duplicate Post is a super charged post duplicator and still free. What sets this apart is that you can copy a page / post in many different places (not just the list). This is a really nice feature if, like me, you have lots of pages that you want to use a starting point. Sometimes, it’s not easy to find the post/page in the list view.

Additionally, it offer many different settings as well as the ability to limit post duplication by site role.

All in all, Yoast is our go-to post duplicator. We use it on Babadoodle.com, WhatDesigners.com, and any new site.

Apps are dead, long live apps Copy

When I founded Best Apps For Kids in 2010, there was an emerging and vibrant kids app ecosystem. The barrier to entry was low for developers willing to put in hard work and the opportunity was high. Sure, there were plenty of kids apps – but not too many – and review sites, like mine, featured high quality apps from independent developers. But fast forward 10 years and the kids app ecosystem has become toxic for independent developers, replaced by a wasteland of bad apps and brand names.

The 4 Best Free Stock Illustration Sites (2020 update)

Previously, I shared a list of the best free stock photography sites, but what if you are looking for illustrations? Many of the pro’s and con’s of using free vs. fee royalty free illustrations are the same as for stock photography, so I won’t mention them again here. However, one main difference that I see is that crediting the site and designer is often required and there are more limitations on what you can do with the illustrations. This is why I still generally use VectorStock.com, as it is still very reasonably priced and I don’t have to worry how I’m using the artwork.

That being said, here is a list of the best, free stock photography websites.

But gone are the days of terribly clip art, some of these free stock illustration sites provide excellent quality creative.
