<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Step 2: Navigate to Posts or Pages<\/h3>\n
Depending on the type of content you want to duplicate:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Go to Posts \u2192 All Posts<\/strong> to duplicate a blog post.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
![\"discover-the-steps-to-duplicate-wordpress-pages-or-posts\u00a0\"](\"https:\/\/www.webystrata.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/posts.webp\")
<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
- \n
- Go to Pages \u2192 All Pages<\/strong> to duplicate a page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
![\"discover-the-steps-to-duplicate-wordpress-pages-or-posts\u00a0\"](\"https:\/\/www.webystrata.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/pages.webp\")
<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
You will see a list of all your existing content.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Choose the Content to Duplicate<\/h3>\n
Hover your mouse over the page or post you wish to copy.<\/p>\n
You will notice new options added by the plugin:<\/p>\n

![\"discover-the-steps-to-duplicate-wordpress-pages-or-posts\u00a0\"](\"https:\/\/www.webystrata.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/clone-draft.webp\")
<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Step 4: Understand the Difference Between Clone and New Draft<\/h3>\n
Before selecting an option, it’s important to understand how they work.<\/p>\n
Clone<\/h4>\n
The Clone option instantly creates a duplicate of the selected page or post.<\/p>\n
The duplicate remains in the content list and can be edited later.<\/p>\n
New Draft<\/h4>\n
The New Draft option creates a duplicate and immediately opens it in the WordPress editor.<\/p>\n
This option is useful when you want to start editing the copied version right away.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Edit the Duplicated Content<\/h3>\n
Once the copy is created:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Open the duplicated page or post.<\/li>\n
- Change the title.<\/li>\n
- Update the content as needed.<\/li>\n
- Replace images if necessary.<\/li>\n
- Modify SEO settings and metadata.<\/li>\n
- Save\u00a0 to draft or publish the content.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
The original page remains unchanged, allowing you to safely make edits to the duplicate.<\/p>\n
