Security History
What It Does
Post Duplicator adds a one-click duplicate action to the WordPress admin that copies any post type, including its custom fields, taxonomies, and featured images, into a new draft. It works on standard posts, pages, and custom post types without requiring manual copy-paste of metadata. The plugin is lightweight and does not interfere with your editor workflow beyond adding the duplicate link.
Who It's For
This plugin is a strong fit for content-heavy sites that regularly clone structures, such as real estate listings with repeating property fields, job boards posting similar positions, ecommerce stores with comparable products, and agencies staging client deliverables. Developers and site builders will also appreciate that it preserves custom fields and taxonomy assignments on duplicate. If you frequently rebuild pages from a template, this saves meaningful time.
Who Should Skip It
If you only occasionally duplicate a post, the built-in 'Copy as draft' option in the block editor covers your needs without an extra plugin. Sites running older PHP versions below 7.4 or WordPress below 6.6 should also avoid it since it requires those minimums.
The Bottom Line
Post Duplicator earns an 85.64 out of 100 quality score by combining broad adoption, current maintenance, and strong user ratings, with the only real gap being minimal public support history. For sites that routinely clone posts, pages, or custom post types with full metadata, it is a reliable and lightweight choice. Users wanting premium support or bundled duplication plus broader content tooling should weigh it against alternatives before committing.
