Controlled content duplication for WordPress
Duplicate Post RB Pro is a paid edition of Duplicate Post RB, a lightweight WordPress plugin for duplicating posts, pages, and public custom post types. It is built for editors, administrators, agencies, and developers who need more control than a basic copy action provides.
Instead of duplicating only the visible content, the plugin lets you define which parts of an item should be copied. Depending on your profile and settings, duplication can include the title, content, status, date, excerpt, slug, template, featured image, author, taxonomies, categories, tags, menu order, password, format, attachments, children, navigation menu, and post metadata.
Profiles for repeatable workflows
Duplication Profiles let you save rules for different content types and editorial tasks. A profile can define the elements to copy, naming format, counter rules, date and time formatting, template behavior, and taxonomy behavior. Multiple profiles can be created and selected before duplication.
Pro adds custom duplication buttons for individual profiles, allowing one-click actions from post and page lists. It also provides an option to duplicate without confirmation dialogs. Profiles can be exported and imported, making saved configurations reusable across projects and environments.
- Create profile-based duplication actions for recurring tasks.
- Reuse profile configurations on other projects or environments.
- Exclude specific custom post types from duplication.
- Move the plugin menu to the Tools section to reduce admin navigation clutter.
- Use a Copy button directly in the Gutenberg editor.
- Review duplication history in Gutenberg and the Classic Editor.
Structured data and custom fields
Duplicate Post RB Pro includes full Advanced Custom Fields integration. It can duplicate ACF custom fields and their values, field groups assigned to posts and post types, ACF-based custom post types, and custom taxonomies created through ACF. This helps preserve structured content and layouts when copying posts built with custom data.
Enhanced custom post type support covers public post types registered by themes and plugins. Custom taxonomies are copied more consistently, while the global All Post Meta option can copy all post meta fields using a single switch. These controls are useful for structured websites, landing pages, learning systems, templates, and larger editorial workflows.
Permissions, history, and developer workflows
Global Settings provide centralized control over duplication behavior. User roles that may duplicate content can be defined for roles including Super Admins, Administrators, Editors, Authors, and Contributors. The editor history widget shows the source post or page, duplication date and time, and the profile used.
WP-CLI support provides command-line duplication for development and administrative workflows. For example, wp rb-duplicate-post duplicate 10,22,45 duplicates the specified items, while wp rb-duplicate-post profiles lists available profiles.
Installation and setup
Add the paid plugin to WordPress and configure its global settings and duplication profiles. Choose the content elements, naming rules, taxonomy behavior, and permissions that match your workflow. Editors can then use profile buttons, the Gutenberg Copy button, or WP-CLI commands. The supplied documentation provides additional guidance for setup and use.
