Why you need Duplicate Posts & Pages
WordPress has no duplicate button. To reuse a page layout you copy every block into a new page, re-add the featured image, then reselect categories, tags and custom fields.
For landing pages, service pages or WooCommerce products that share a structure, that is slow and easy to get wrong.
What Duplicate Posts & Pages does
One-click duplicates
A Duplicate link appears in the row actions on posts and pages, and opens the new draft in the editor.
Choose what is copied
Pro lets you set the defaults for content, featured image, taxonomies, custom fields and menu order, and override them for each copy.
Status and title format
Copies are drafts titled “[Duplicate] {post_title}”. Pro lets you change the status, the title format and whether the editor opens on the copy.
Custom post types
Pro adds the Duplicate link to WooCommerce products and any custom post type.
Set it up
In WordPress, open WP Extended and find Duplicate Posts & Pages under Content Management.
