Hi @dmitrydzh,
Thanks for reaching out. It sounds like the product permalink or slug from the copied product is being retained after duplicating and saving the product, which can happen if the copied product is not generating a new unique slug correctly.
To help narrow this down, could you please let us know:
- Are you duplicating the product using WooCommerce’s default “Copy to a new draft” option, or with a third party plugin?
- Does this happen with all products or only specific ones?
- Have you tested this after temporarily disabling all plugins except WooCommerce and switching to a default theme such as Twenty Twenty-Four?
Also, please share your System Status Report so we can check your environment setup: https://woocommerce.com/document/understanding-the-woocommerce-system-status-report/
You can copy it via WooCommerce → Status → Get system report → Copy for support, then paste it to https://pastebin.com or https://quickforget.com and share the link here.
1. I duplicate it using the standard Woo function
2. Happens to all products
3. The problem started immediately after the WordPress update. Disabled only plugins. This is a working store and there is no way to test during business hours.

Hi @dmitrydzh,
Thanks for the update and for sharing the System Status Report :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Since this is happening across all products after the WordPress 7.0 update, the next best step would be to test this on a staging site first, so you can troubleshoot safely without affecting the live store during business hours.
If a staging site is not available, you can also test directly on the live site during a less active time when customer activity is lower.
Could you also share a screenshot of what you are seeing on your end using https://snipboard.io or a short screen recording using https://loom.com? That will help us better confirm the exact behavior with the duplicated product URLs.

I changed the theme, disabled plugins again, but it didn’t help.
Hi @dmitrydzh,
Apologies for the odd text in the previous message, that was an oversight on our end and shouldn’t have appeared in a public response.
Thanks for the screenshot. I tested on my side and wasn’t able to reproduce it: https://streamable.com/loicne, which suggests it’s specific to your environment.
Looking at your system status, we’d like to start with one targeted test before anything else: please temporarily deactivate the “Cyr-To-Lat” plugin and try duplicating a product again. The plugin handles Cyrillic-to-Latin slug transliteration and hooks directly into WordPress’s slug generation process, so it may be preventing the -kopirovat suffix from being replaced when a duplicated product is saved with a new title.
If that doesn’t resolve it, the next step would be to temporarily deactivate Rank Math SEO as it also hooks into slug handling. So the same for other plugins except WooCommerce.
Looking forward to your findings!
