## Description

Meta Duplicate Post adds secure Duplicate actions to supported WordPress post lists
and edit screens. Administrators can choose who may duplicate content, which data
is copied, how duplicates are named, and where users go after creating a copy.

Key features:

 * **One-click duplication:** Create a copy from a post list or use the Duplicate
   shortcut while editing in the Block or Classic Editor.
 * **Bulk duplication:** Duplicate several posts, pages, or custom post type entries
   with one bulk action.
 * **Complete content copying:** Preserve content, excerpts, featured images, custom
   fields, page hierarchy, menu order, and discussion settings.
 * **Configurable copying:** Independently enable or disable taxonomy terms, metadata,
   and featured images.
 * **Flexible naming:** Create a reusable title pattern with the `{title}` placeholder.
 * **Workflow control:** Open each new copy for editing or return to its content
   list after one-click duplication.
 * **Taxonomy support:** Copy categories, tags, and custom taxonomy terms when the
   user has permission to assign them.
 * **Role and capability checks:** Restrict the action by role while respecting 
   the source post and post type capabilities registered in WordPress.
 * **Custom post type support:** Enable any custom post type with an admin interface.
   Attachments and WordPress system-managed post types are excluded.
 * **Safe defaults:** Create drafts by default, use the current user as author, 
   and use the current date and time.
 * **Developer hooks:** Customize available post types and statuses, duplicate post
   data, metadata handling, and post-duplication processing.
 * **Translation ready:** All interface text can be localized through the `meta-
   duplicate-post` text domain.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `meta-duplicate-post` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the
    plugin from the WordPress Plugins screen.
 2. Activate **Meta Duplicate Post**.
 3. Open **Meta Duplicator > Permissions** and select the roles that may duplicate 
    content.
 4. Open **Meta Duplicator > Defaults** to configure status, author, date, naming, 
    copied content, redirect behavior, and enabled post types.
 5. Choose **Duplicate** beneath a title, use the shortcut while editing, or select
    several items and run the **Duplicate** bulk action.

## FAQ

### How do I control who can duplicate posts?

Use the Permissions screen to enable specific roles. A matching role is not enough
by itself: the user must also be able to edit the source post and create posts of
that type.

### Can I duplicate custom post types?

Yes. Public and private custom post types with a WordPress admin interface appear
on the Defaults screen. You can enable or disable each type.

### What data is copied?

The plugin always copies the title, content, excerpt, hierarchy, menu order, password,
and discussion settings. You can independently control whether taxonomy terms, metadata,
and the featured image are copied. Temporary editor locks, trash bookkeeping, and
old-slug metadata are intentionally omitted.

### Can I duplicate several items at once?

Yes. Select items on any enabled post type list, choose **Duplicate** from Bulk 
actions, and apply it. Each item is checked against the current user’s permissions
before its copy is created.

### Can I change the duplicate title?

Yes. Set a title pattern on the Defaults screen and include `{title}` where the 
original title should appear, such as `Copy of {title}`.

### Why did my configured status or author fall back to the current user or Draft?

The plugin never uses its settings to elevate a user’s WordPress capabilities. Users
who cannot publish receive a draft, and users who cannot edit other authors’ posts
become the author of their own duplicate.

### Does it duplicate media files?

No. Featured image references are preserved, but the underlying files are not copied.
Attachment posts are therefore excluded from the supported post types.
