Requirements

To use the features described in this guide, you will need one of the following:

• A self-hosted WordPress site with the free Jetpack plugin activated.

Duplicate a Page or Post

To copy a post or page, take the following steps.

Select the appropriate tab for your admin interface style:

Default ViewWP-Admin View

1. Visit your site’s dashboard.
2. Click on Posts or Pages on the left side.
3. Click the ellipses menu (the three vertical dots) to the right of the post or page you want to copy.
4. Select the “Copy page” or “Copy post” option.
5. The WordPress Editor will open immediately, creating a new post with the duplicated content.

Pages will show a “Copy page” button. Posts will show a “Copy post” button.

1. Click on Posts or Pages in your WP-Admin dashboard.
2. Hover your mouse over the title of the page you want to make a copy of.
3. Click the “Copy” link that appears below the page name (if this option doesn’t appear, you need to enable it first.)

Clicking Copy will open a new edit window, with the following elements already copied over (if the original post has them):

• title
• content
• excerpt
• featured image
• categories
• tags
• comment and pingback status
• Likes and Sharing status
• custom post type terms

Enable the Copy Option

If you have a plugin-enabled site, first make sure the Jetpack plugin is active and go to Jetpack → Settings → Writing and activate the “Enable the option to copy entire posts and pages, including tags and settings” option:

With this option enabled, you can now copy a post by following the same instructions above.

This feature may not be available if your site uses a page builder plugin, but that plugin may provide its own option to copy pages and posts.

Copy All Blocks

If the options described above are not available to you, you can copy the entire contents of a post or page to your clipboard, and paste them into a new post or page following these steps:

1. Visit your site’s dashboard.
2. Go to Posts or Pages.
3. Click on a post or page to open it in the editor.
4. Click the ellipses (three dots) menu in the top-right corner of the editor.
5. Click the “Copy all blocks” option. This copies all the blocks to your device’s clipboard.
6. Create a new post or page.
7. Paste the blocks you copied from step 5 by right-clicking and choosing Paste or using ctrl + v (PC) or cmd + v (Mac).

Copy all blocks in the block editor.
