  • Fantastic quick way to dupe pages/posts!

    Thank you so much for creating this plugin, as I'm busy cranking out screens with FSE, and though I probably 'should' be creating patterns to reuse this has simply saved me SO much time. NOTE: Only thing one needs to know is to collapse the 'list view' to access the 'duplicate page/post'. Thank you again.

    Exactly what is needed when adding numerous pages of content to a site. Thanks for taking the time to create & share! 100% Should be on core!!

  • Lightweight, easy, and simply works

    Aurooba is on to something here. I originally installed QuickPost to test it out. I knew it would take some time. I installed the plugin on my most heavily used site. To my surprise, the first post I used the plugin to duplicate was The Events Calendar post. It worked like a charm! I could duplicate the post or just use it to make a new one. QuickPost works in the Gutenberg editor which is missing the old admin bar creating an extra click. QuickPost eliminates that extra click. Additionally, it saves one from having to create a template for a post. Need to create a post with the exact same format, use QuickPost to duplicate it. So if you are a heavy Gutenberg editor user, consider installing this plugin to save you extra clicks, time, and some heartache!

  • Nifty

    Surprisingly useful, especially if you jumped on the FSE hypetrain.

  • Works great, the users would love it

    Just tried it, works great, the users would love it I'll be using it for code reference 🤩 Aurooba used the native WordPress components and followed the coding standards, keeping it simple. Thanks for retaining WP branding so that the new button doesn't stand out. I also like the user experience that comes with quickly adding and duplicating in full-screen mode This feature might be added to the core, until then this plugin is the right way to go!
