Permissions prevent duplication

  • It looks like the permissions check on line 121 of the most recent version of duplicatepage.php is too aggressive. We had our site editors prevented from duplicating pages, as the ‘manage_options’ capability is for admins only. It makes sense to check for that on the settings page, but we the whole point of duplicating posts for us is to allow editors to start from a template and update their content accordingly. We changed the plugin code on our site to get our editors unstuck, but now we don’t feel we can update until this is addressed. Can you either remove/replace the admin-only requirement or at least allow a setting for choosing a specific capability to check before preventing non-admins from duplicating? Thanks!

    Hey@ Blake,

    As per the WordPress recommendation, we added this check, users can only clone their own pages or if users have the capability to edit posts can clone posts and the admin has full access.

    Please let us know of any further queries.

    Rgds,
