What Is Content Cloning?
Content cloning is the process of creating a new editable draft from an existing WordPress content item. Instead of starting with a blank editor, Duplicizer lets you start from content that already has the structure, formatting, fields, images, and relationships you want to reuse.
This is helpful for repeatable workflows such as service pages, landing pages, product pages, directory listings, content templates, and custom post type entries.
Duplicizer creates a new draft. Your original content remains unchanged, so you can safely edit the duplicate before publishing it.
What Gets Cloned?
Duplicizer is designed to copy the parts of your WordPress content that help you create a useful starting point for a new draft.
What Does Not Get Cloned?
Some information should not normally be copied because it belongs to the original content, user activity, publishing history, or external reporting systems.
After cloning content, always review titles, URLs, SEO fields, calls to action, product information, and any page-specific details before publishing.
Supported Content Types
Duplicizer can be used across common WordPress content workflows. Availability may depend on your plugin version, enabled settings, and site configuration.
Pages
Reuse service pages, landing pages, sales pages, and website sections.
Posts
Create new articles, tutorials, announcements, and content series faster.
WooCommerce Products
Duplicate similar products, seasonal offers, bundles, and catalog items.
Custom Post Types
Clone structured content such as listings, events, courses, properties, and portfolios.
Selective Cloning
Selective cloning lets you control which parts of the original content should be copied. This helps keep new drafts clean and prevents unnecessary data from carrying over.
- Clone content only when you want a layout or text starting point
- Clone featured images and taxonomies when you want category consistency
- Clone metadata when custom fields or product data are needed
- Use saved cloning presets for repeatable workflows when available
Advanced teams can use cloning rules and presets to standardize how different content types are duplicated across editors, clients, and team members.
Common Content Cloning Workflows
Content cloning is most useful when you already have a structure that works and want to reuse it as a starting point.
Best Practices
Duplicizer gives you a faster starting point, but every duplicate should still be reviewed before it goes live.
- Duplicate content into a draft instead of publishing immediately.
- Update the title, permalink, headline, buttons, links, and calls to action.
- Review featured images, categories, tags, and custom taxonomies.
- Check custom fields, metadata, builder settings, and product data.
- Preview the duplicate before publishing.
