How to Duplicate Pages or Posts Using a WordPress Plugin<\/b><\/h2>

Although you can manually copy and paste content, this method is cumbersome, especially for pages with complex layouts.

  1. Install and activate Duplicate Page<\/a> from the WordPress plugin directory. Other ways to install the plugin<\/a> include using an FTP client and uploading the plugin files manually through your admin dashboard.<\/li>\n<\/ol>
