Start writing new content based on existing posts with the Jetpack Copy Post feature.
The Copy Post feature is compatible with Posts, Pages, Jetpack Testimonials, and Jetpack Portfolios, so you can duplicate content taken from these to start writing them faster.
Activate and use Copy Post
- Go to Jetpack → Settings → Writing, and then find the Composing section.
- Activate “Enable the option to copy entire posts and pages, including tags and settings”.
- Go back to your WP Admin and head to the post type you will find the content to copy – for example, if you want to copy a blog post, head to WP Admin → Posts → All Posts.
- In the post list view for supported post types, hover over the post you want to copy and click the Copy link:
If you don’t see the Copy link, your user account may not have the required permissions. Only users who can edit a post will be able to copy it.
- A new post edit window will open with the following elements already copied over (if the original post has them):
- Title
- Content
- Excerpt
- Featured image
- Categories
- Tags
- Comment and pingback status
- Likes and Sharing Status
- Custom post-type terms
- You can now edit the copied post to your liking and publish it when you’re ready.
Copy Post and multisite networks
It’s not possible to copy a post from one multisite subsite to another. They are essentially separate sites with their own content and do not share post data.
Copying other post types
By default, the Copy Post feature supports:
- Posts
- Pages
- Jetpack Portfolios
- Jetpack Testimonials
You can enable the Copy Post for other post types, by using the copy post hook.
