Looking for an easy way to duplicate a page (or post)? Fortunately, this is very simple. You can do this directly in WordPress via the block editor, or via a plugin. In this article, I’ll show you how to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manually duplicate a page<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you only want to duplicate one post, there’s an efficient solution that doesn’t require the installation of external plugins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open the page you want to duplicate in editing mode, and you\u2019ll see an icon with three dots in the top right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yep, that unobtrusive button you might have always ignored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By clicking on it, a drop-down menu appears where you’ll find the option to copy the post content by clicking on \u2018Copy all blocks\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"WordPress<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the new page, you then use the paste function to place the copied content in a new post window. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For duplicating multiple posts, other methods are available. If this is relevant to you, read on for more detailed instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use a plugin<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t like manual work? Then a plugin offers a solution. There are several plugins available that you can use to duplicate pages (or posts). By far the most well-known is the Yoast Duplicate Post plugin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has already been used over 4 million times and does what it needs to do: it allows you to copy a post or page with a single mouse click. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I personally use the Duplicate Page (by mndpsingh287) plugin for multiple websites. It works just as simply as the one from Yoast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are, by the way, dozens of similar plugins. In my opinion, it is not necessary to spend a lot of time comparing these plugins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plugin should do one thing in an easy and efficient way: ensure that you can duplicate one or more pages with 1 click. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the above-mentioned plugins do this job well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good to know: slug\/permalinks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you use a plugin to duplicate your page or post, then WordPress<\/a> automatically creates a variant of your original slug. For example, if you copy this URL: www.my.host\/wordpress-test\/ the new slug becomes: www.my.host\/wordpress-test-2\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often not the best choice. You can adjust the slug via, for example, the \u2018quick edit\u2019 option in WordPress:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duplicate WordPress page to another website<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Duplicating a WordPress page to another website can be handy when, for example, setting up a new subsidiary site, creating test environments, or simply transferring content between different domains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you start, it’s good to check if you have a backup and if both sites are compatible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Backups: Ensure that both websites (the source and the destination) have a recent backup. This provides a safety net in case something goes wrong.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Compatibility: Check if the themes, plugins, and WordPress versions of both websites are compatible. This can reduce future conflicts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    If this is in order, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
