 * When I clone an old post to update it, it copies all the old comments over too.
   Is there any simple setting to just duplicate the text and images but leave the
   comment section empty?

 * Yes! Go to Settings -> Duplicate Post -> “What to copy” and uncheck “Comments”.
   They won’t be copied on the next clone.
