For many website owners, developers, and content creators, being able to copy an existing post is a valuable tool. We have tried, used, tested and recommend the following post duplicator tools.

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.

Post Duplicator by Metaphor Creations

Post Duplicator is an easy to use post duplicator with simple functionality. It was the first duplicator WordPress plug-in we used on WhatMedia.com and continue to use. However, it does have limited functionality, so if you are looking for a post/page duplicator with more controls, we recommend Yoast Duplicate Post.
