Hey @salle32, thank you for reporting this!
We can reproduce the problem and we are working to solve this in the next release.

Not sure if this is the best solution, but here’s what I did to fix it.

/wp-content/plugins/duplicate-post/src/ui/classic-editor.php

In the register_hooks() method I changed:
```
\add_action( 'post_submitbox_start', [ $this, 'add_new_draft_post_button' ] );
\add_action( 'post_submitbox_start', [ $this, 'add_rewrite_and_republish_post_button' ] );
```
to:
```
\add_action( 'post_submitbox_misc_actions', [ $this, 'add_new_draft_post_button' ], 11 );
\add_action( 'post_submitbox_misc_actions', [ $this, 'add_rewrite_and_republish_post_button' ], 12 );
```
In add_new_draft_post_button() I changed:
```
<div id="duplicate-action">
<div id="rewrite-republish-action">
```
to:
```
<div id="duplicate-action" class="misc-pub-section">
<div id="rewrite-republish-action" class="misc-pub-section">
```
The link now appears in the meta section above the buttons, and Delete/Update are back in their correct place.

Thanks @zzzit88! We’re evaluating what to do, since it seems that the real culprit is the WordPress core and they are evaluating fixing it on that side to prevent issues not just with Yoast Duplicate Post but also with many other plugins: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65286

I can confirm this issue and I’m seeing it in all websites that have this plugin

@enricobattocchi understand you’re trying to do things cleanly but it’s not great to still have the issue in after a week. On some sites (with german WP ui for example) it actually pushes the save button out of the visible screen which is a major issue.

For everyone looking for a hotfix: load this in wp-admin:

major-publishing-actions:has(#duplicate-action) { flex-wrap: wrap; }

@misterelvis I’m sorry for the delay, but our dev team has been very busy with high priority issues in the meantime. Moreover, since we support different versions of WordPress it would be a problem to apply a fix that gets superseded by what WordPress is going to do. Plus, other plugins are affected and we don’t want to step on their toes too…

The core team has released a hotfix plugin here https://make.wordpress.org/core/2026/05/28/hotfix-available-for-65286/ that seems to improve the experience with the same CSS solution that has been shared here (while not yet fully restoring the former appearance). We advise everyone to install the Hotfix plugin v1.4 to apply it while we work on a more stable solution.
Thanks everyone for the patience!
