How to Duplicate Post/Pages/CPT/Products at bulk in WordPress?

Table of Contents

The ability to easily duplicate content such as posts, pages, custom post types (CPT), products etc, in WordPress can be a useful tool for any WordPress user. Whether you’re running a blog or developing a website, there are times when you need to create duplicate copies of existing content. This can save time by avoiding the need to rewrite them from scratch. 

While WordPress users sometimes do need this duplication feature, but it is not something required on a very frequent basis. In most cases, you will have to use 3rd party plugins in order to duplicate your content in WordPress. So just for this, adding another one to the long list of plugins can add up to the website load time.

You can easily balance this out with the Nexter Extension (free) plugin, which has many features built-in, and one of them is to allow users easily duplicate content in bulk.
