Post Duplicator

Description

This plugin was created to make an exact duplicate of a selected post. Custom post types are supported, along with custom taxonomies and custom fields.

*Note: Comments are not passed to the new post.

This plugin is simply meant to quickly and easily duplicate a post. Just hover over a post in the edit screen and select ‘Duplicate {post_type}’ to create a duplicate post.

I created this plugin mainly for myself when I’m develping WordPress sites. I always need dummy content to fill out the look of a website and wanted a very quick and easy way to create multiple posts.

simple and it just works. But I had to delete it because I found in server logs it constantly communicates with the server, causing an unnecessary load even when I’m not using the plugin. It baffled me. Why..?
