Using the value from the url parameter when cloning

Hi @ventio

Are you trying to use the parameters in URL because you would like to transfer few specific value from the original to the duplicated post?

If yes, there is a setting from WordPress dashboard > Settings > Duplicate post > Duplicate Post Options > What to copy > Post/page elements to copy and there you can select the data that you would like to copy.

Kindly let me know if I am not picking up the question correctly.

I’m sorry but I don’t understand… What exactly should I select in these settings if I want to transfer parameters from the URL to the appropriate fields?

Hi @ventio

Thanks for the response and I am sorry for the confusion.

In my previous answer, I was informing how you can transfer the value from one post to another post from our settings.

May I know a little more on what you are trying to achieve by passing the value through URL parameters?

Let me show you what I mean with an example:

1. I open the page that I want to clone, an example url of such a page is: https://your-domain.com/page1/?parameter1=value1&parameter2=value2 (Pay attention to this url. In the url there is parameter1=value1 and parameter2=value2)
2. I would like it to be cloned to the draft page along with parameter 1 and parameter 2 after clicking “Duplicate post, new draft”, where the values ??of these parameters are saved in the appropriate fields

Is there a way to copy parameters from a URL?

Hi @ventio

This will require custom code to copy parameters from URL and pass the value of the parameter. You can check the filters to customize as required.

Ok, which filter should I pay attention to?

Hi @ventio

You can try the dp_duplicate_post?and?dp_duplicate_page?actions.
