Mass clone from list – “Bulk Actions”
-
I was just wondering if you would be willing to add a new feature.
I need to clone over 40 pages and I would like to do it all at once.
No I need to clone the one by one. Which is not preferable.
So my idea is that you add an option to mass clone to the “Bulk Actions” drop-down above the page/post list. User would just check all the posts/pages he or she wants to clone and then he or she would select the mass clone from the “Bulk Actions” list to clone checked posts/pages.
Thank you for your time.

Hi,
that feature is already available since version 3.1!
If you don’t see “Clone” in the Bulk Actions dropdown, make sure:- you are using WordPress v4.7.*, since previous versions don’t support adding custom bulk actions
- the post type you want to clone is enabled under
Settings→Duplicate Post, tabPermissions - “Show in bulk actions” is enabled under
Settings→Duplicate Post, tabDisplay
Remember that cloning complex pages can be a time- and resource-consuming activity, so there’s a chance that bulk cloning an high number of pages in one shot can lead to timeout errors.
To reduce this possibility, make sure that “Attachments” is disabled underSettings→Duplicate Post, tabWhat to copy(you don’t need it unless you have very special needs).Hope this helps, let me know if it works or if you have any issue!
