hi everyone welcome to K2 blogging and in this video I will show you how you can duplicate a page in your WordPress website so here I'm gonna cover three different ways to duplicate a page in WordPress so why you need to duplicate a page so suppose you want to change the design of a page like suppose you want to change a section in home page so what I can do is I will duplicate the home page and I will
Change a section in home page
edit the duplicate page first and see the changes if it is looking good then I can make it live as a home page so there are various reasons why you need to duplicate a page in WordPress so let's check how we can add this functionality to our WordPress website so if you found this video helpful then make sure to hit the like button so to duplicate a page so let's check the first method so I will click on about here let
me just edit this page here and as you can see that this is the design of this about us page so if you are I want to duplicate this about page what I can do is I will click on this three dot menu here and here you will see an option like copy all block so here it is copy all blocks just click on here let's go back here and I will click on add new here and I will type like about 2 and I will click on here and I will paste this here as you can see that all the blocks are now pasted in this new page so I can simply click on save as
Manual method
draft and let's go back here and as you can see that we have added the duplicate of this about us page so this is a manual method but here note that you will not copy the metadata like you will it will not copy the focus keyword or it will not copy the feature image title so you need to do the manual changes in this website but it will copy all the blocks to your clone Pages as well but what if you want to duplicate this Pages more frequently then you can use a code snippet so you can add a function file to your theme
so let's go to the theme Here and here you will see this option theme file editor and here you will see this option function dot PhD so make sure to use a child theme pure using the function.psp file method so here if you update your theme then this settings will be override so make sure to use a child theme otherwise you can use a code snippet plugin so here you can paste a code like this so let me just copy
Paste the code in your function.php
the code here and you can simply paste the code in your function.php file and hit update so do it carefully otherwise you may break your website so after adding this code snippet to the function.psp file let's go to the pages here and if you hover this you will see a option duplicate so let's click on here and as you can see that it has duplicated the contact page for us so let's change it to contact two let's
click on Save draft here and as you can see that we have duplicated a contact to page like this so in this way you can add a duplicate functionality to your WordPress website using a code snippet it also works with post as well so if you go to post you will see this option duplicate so in this way you can use a custom code snippet in your WordPress website and duplicate the page more easily or you can use this code instead of the function.php file so let me just remove that so what I can do is I will go to
function.psp file and I will scroll down here and I will delete all the code from here here it is so let me just remove all the code from here and I will update the file and I can use a code manager plugin so let's go to the plugins here and let's click on add new and you can simply search for code manager and here you can use any code manager plugin like WP code or code slippers like that so here I am using the wp code plugin so I will go to code Snippets I will click on add new I will add the custom code snippet so instead of adding these two function.php file which will override once the theme is updated so it's better
way to use a code manager plugin so let me just paste the code here and I will change this code Type to PHP snippet and I will name it like duplicate function like this so you can add a name to remember this code let's click on active and let's click on Save changes now let's go to the pages here and as you can see that the same duplicate functionality is added to our WordPress website or if you don't want to use the custom code you can use a duplicate plugin as well so to add the plugin let me just disable this function first I will go to the plugins and I will click on add new so this is the third method you can use to duplicate so I will directly duplicate and here you will get various plugins to duplicate your posts in Pages here that is the US duplicate post here you will see the duplicate page option or here you will see this option duplicate post you can use any of the plugin from here so let me just install the first one and
Type to PHP snippet
let's activate this plugin and let's click on skip here and here you will see all the options like whether you want to copy the title whether you want to copy this lock X up so it will copy all these functions like it will copy the feature image templates author so using this plugin you will have more options here so let's click on Save here and here Add a prefix like this like clone and let's click on Save here and here you will also get more options here like set the permission like whether you want to show the duplicate
option to admin only or to show it to editors as well so you can give the options whether you want to add the function to the pages post or something so you will get more options using this plugin so let's go to the pages here and let me just go to the Post here and let me just duplicate it here so as you can see that it will show a copy button like this and here you can see that it is set to default and let's click on
Posts and pages in WordPress
copy now so it will copy this and it will see that that is a prefix added clone and you can see that it is by default safe to draft so in this way you can also duplicate a paste or post in WordPress using a plugin so if you use a plugin you will get a little bit of more functionality but you can also use the manual method that you have discussed in the previous section and there is one more settings what if you want to
duplicate multiple Pages at once so to do that you can use the bulk action feature as well suppose I want to duplicate the hello world second post and third post and I will click on bulk action and here you will see this option copy so let's click on here and let's click on apply and here you will see this option so you you can copy all these sections like this so let's select all the sections here and I will click on copy so it will duplicate all the sections like this and as you can see that clone third post clone second post clone hello what so in this way you can bulk duplicate your pages in WordPress as well using this
