Unlike Yoast Duplicate Post, this plugin can’t duplicate posts built with the popular
Breakdance builder.Also, would be great if the default setting was for the plugin
to be active for pages, not just posts.

Works perfectly and it’s not bloated like other plugins. It also copies all post
meta data including ACF fields.. amazing!

Basic, yet powerful. Love the fact that it clones post meta too!

I was facing the boring task of cloning a lot of pages, so I found this little tool
with a single search and was really satisfied with it.
