You can create new posts in one of two ways: 1. Create a brand new empty post. 2. Duplicate the current post. This brings back the ability to create new posts, pages, custom post types quickly and easily even when you’re in Fullscreen Mode in the Editor. If you enjoy the plugin, please leave a review! ⭐ If you have a feature request, please create an issue in the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/createwithrani/quickpost). ➕ If you need support, please use the support forum to reach out. 🆘 ### Key Features * A disabled button is available in the toolbar in brand new posts * The “Add New” button becomes clickable once your post’s status is auto-draft, draft, pending, published, or any other state except new. * You can duplicate the current post with two clicks. * A keyboard shortcut to create a new post directly from your keyboard (Ctrl + Option + N on Mac or Alt + Shift + N on Windows) ### Stay Connected * [Follow @aurooba on Twitter](https://twitter.com/aurooba) * [View this plugin on GitHub](https://github.com/createwithrani/quickpost) ## Screenshots * [[ * In brand new posts, the `Add New` button is disabled. * [[ * In posts that are not new, the `Add New` button is clickable and lets you create new and duplicate posts right from the Block Editor. * [[ * Click the kebab menu button to reveal the `Duplicate Post` button. * [[ * Clicking the `Add New` button takes you to a fresh new post of the same post type. ## Installation 1.

If you have a question, issue, or you’ve identified a bug, please reach out through the support forums. ### What gets duplicated? Right now all _default_ WordPress post information gets duplicated, except featured images. Currently, custom taxonomies, Yoast information, or custom additions are not supported. But as the plugin evolves, more support will be added. Please use the support forums to let us know what you’d like added support for. ### How can I change when QuickPost is available? The plugin provides a filter called `QuickPostDisplay` to help you affect QuickPost’s visibility. Refer to the example in the [README on GitHub](https://github.com/createwithrani/quickpost/tree/main#filtering-quickpost-visibilitys). ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e67143e250595c499bc34af94dcda27edd70384a47d4f1e8356c34b1ab199620? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Fantastic quick way to dupe pages/posts!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fantastic-quick-way-to-dupe-pages-posts/)󠁿 [Elisa Rohner](https://profiles.wordpress.org/colourpress/) May 13, 2022 Thank you so much for creating this plugin, as I’m busy cranking out screens with FSE, and though I probably ‘should’ be creating patterns to reuse this has simply saved me SO much time. NOTE: Only thing one needs to know is to collapse the ‘list view’ to access the ‘duplicate page/post’. Thank you again. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/26a0785494156136d24770ee169abca5fd52207e2a55fcc9a2102e1902920aaa? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Ultimate Time-Saver](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ultimate-time-saver-3/)󠁿 [Mark Smallman](https://profiles.wordpress.org/marks99/) April 17, 2022 Exactly what is needed when adding numerous pages of content to a site. Thanks for taking the time to create & share! 100% Should be on core!! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/776629f9fcb64208b8e57d5e1cee2f88eefd20a6460564eef8f9c9a72888d2cc? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Lightweight, easy, and simply works](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lightweight-easy-and-simply-works/)󠁿 [tejones](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tejones/) March 20, 2022 Aurooba is on to something here. I originally installed QuickPost to test it out. I knew it would take some time. I installed the plugin on my most heavily used site. To my surprise, the first post I used the plugin to duplicate was The Events Calendar post. It worked like a charm! I could duplicate the post or just use it to make a new one. QuickPost works in the Gutenberg editor which is missing the old admin bar creating an extra click. QuickPost eliminates that extra click. Additionally, it saves one from having to create a template for a post. Need to create a post with the exact same format, use QuickPost to duplicate it. So if you are a heavy Gutenberg editor user, consider installing this plugin to save you extra clicks, time, and some heartache! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/40e3b7dd2f29d46ade183ba6ec9b15cf75e164af78c63d3a3158a9ea287a540c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Nifty](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nifty-22/)󠁿 [Pierre LeBaux](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lebaux/) February 22, 2022 Surprisingly useful, especially if you jumped on the FSE hypetrain. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3afc319d7b456e519e4d46f651b07295957dda7b67295ccb8c2d02057564e117? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works great, the users would love it](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-great-the-users-would-love-it/)󠁿 [Lax Mariappan](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lakshmananphp/) February 21, 2022 Just tried it, works great, the users would love it I’ll be using it for code reference 🤩 Aurooba used the native WordPress components and followed the coding standards, keeping it simple. Thanks for retaining WP branding so that the new button doesn’t stand out. I also like the user experience that comes with quickly adding and duplicating in full-screen mode This feature might be added to the core, until then this plugin is the right way to go!
