 * I am trying to duplicated a published post to be saved in draft on the destination
   site.
    Unfortunately, everytime I do that, the result is that the duplicated 
   post is always in published state regardless of the applied setting.
 * Ideas?
 * Thanks.

 * Be sure that if you go into the plugins setting that the ‘Retain Published date
   from source’ isnt checked. This will always publish the duplication.
 * Only other thing I can think here mate is come third party code that is overridding
   the core functionality. I know I have written some code like that for a previous
   support thread maybe it was cut and pasted into your functions?

 * Thanks. Disabling the ‘Retain Published date from source’ has fixed the problem.
