Duplicate more than 1 at a time?

Hi,
what do you mean, making N copies of the same post or making one copy of each of N posts?

In any case, it’s not possible at the moment, but stay tuned because there could be a surprise in one of the next versions…

Seems like only 1 copy can be created at a time. I don’t know of any other way to explain it. Surprises are nice.

I would like this feature as well. The way I envision it is that in the #submitpost box, next to the #mn field would be a button that says “Add another”. Clicking it would copy the entire div.timestamp-wrap row. Then when you hit publish, they would all have the same status, same visibility. Some would get published immediately and some would get scheduled depending on the date and time you selected.

It would execute the INSERTs all at once.

I’d pay $25 for such a feature.

Thanks in advance for the consideration!!!

Hi,
I’ll try to see what I can do, it’s a bit out of the main path of my plugin, as it would be more of a “multipost” instead of a clone of something already in the DB, but your suggestion is very interesting…

Thank you.

I imagine the most common use case is using the Duplicate Post as a way to use a current post as a template for another post. In which case the author is looking to change the content.

But the other use case @anefarious1 and I (and others?) have is many identical copies of the exact same content. My site is a community board with flyers, events, and other content that organizations want posted repeatedly as reminders. (Which is its own problem but it comes from the readers’ behavior–which I can’t change–not the behavior of the organizations.)

Thanks again!

@lopo Would be willing to pay for this. Not sure how much but how can I contact you privately to discuss?

I’d also be very happy about a possibility to clone a post multiple times (“making N copies of the same post”). This shouldn’t be very tricky in technical terms. But so far I have no idea how to implement the setting for “N” in the user interface.
