README

A lean WordPress plugin for duplicating any post type as a draft. No settings pages, no bloat — just a single action that copies a post and drops you into the editor.

Features

• Adds a "Duplicate" row action to all post type list screens
• Adds a "Duplicate as Draft" button to the publish meta box on the edit screen
• Copies post content, excerpt, meta, and taxonomy terms
• Duplicate is always created as a draft assigned to the current user
• Respects post type capabilities — only users who can create posts of that type can duplicate them

Requirements

• PHP 8.3 or higher
• WordPress 6.0 or higher

Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require marshallu/mu-duplicate-post

Or download and place the plugin folder in your wp-content/plugins directory, then activate it from the WordPress admin.

Usage

On any post type list screen, hover over a row and click "Duplicate". The duplicate will be created as a draft and you will be redirected to the edit screen.

On the post edit screen, a "Duplicate as Draft" button appears in the publish meta box.

Development

composer install
composer run lint
composer run format
composer run analyse
