Duplicating a published post

Hi,
what do you mean?
You can clone (if you are authorised) posts of any state (drafts, published, future, private).
Also, if you need to exclude any custom field (also known as “post meta”) when cloning a post, you can add its name under Do not copy these fields under Settings→Duplicate Post, tab What to copy.

Hope this helps!

Thank You.
When I clone a published post, the cloned post does not work with Jetpack’s Publicize. It does not post to social media sites as the post meta says it has already been published. I have a standard format with buttons, links, graphics headers and footers for my blogs. I simply clone, delete the center content and add the new.

According to wordpress.com:

“Using a Post Duplicator

If you use a plugin to duplicate your posts, you could run into issues, because as well as duplicating the post content, it will likely also duplicate the post meta that tells Jetpack that the post has already been Publicized, so when you publish the new post, Publicize will fail.

There are several possible solutions for this:

Don’t start from a published post. Duplicate a draft post.
If the plugin includes an option like “Don’t duplicate post meta” – enable that option.
If the plugin doesn’t include that option, ask the plugin author if they included a filter to prevent duplicating the post meta.
If there is no filter, ask the plugin author to exclude all post meta containing the ????_wpas???? string from ever being duplicated.”

Hi,
now I understand what you mean!
My plugin should already be compatible with Jetpack Publicize, as it does exactly what’s written in that excerpt (it filters out the post meta used by Publicize).
If it doesn’t work, maybe you are not using the latest version of Duplicate Post, or something’s changed in Jetpack (I don’t use it in my websites)?
Can you tell me which version of Duplicate Post and which version of Jetpack are you running on your website?

Thank you. It appears for some reason the last blog I published using Publicize, the Publicize software corrupted the share data settings from it after it published it. When I clone it, it does not share. I went back and tried other published blogs and your software worked properly.
It was not your software, but Publicize that was not working. Reading the troubleshooting for Publicize, I thought I had not set up your software properly.
Sorry for the bother.

Thanks Again.
