Duplicate Post Draft made Original Published Post 404 Error

Installed this plugin on a Friday, duplicated a post and saved it as a draft with “backup” and the date added to title, as well as the default -2 added to slug…. came back on Tuesday to re-write the original article. Turns out that for the 4 days I was away, the original article that I duplicated was producing a 404 error.

I googled this issue and Yoast’s answer to another guy with this issue was to deactivate all non-yoast plugins and try a different theme. That’s wild, all this plugin should be doing is duplicating a post’s meta and presenting it as a draft to be saved or published, nothing else… and i shouldn’t have to worry about plugin conflicts. I’ll be removing it and making manual clones of posts for draft backups from now on, unless there is another plugin that actually clones posts without breaking the original. Crazy…
