- NW0O9N table of contents overall for remainder: linking TBA ‘definition’ + ‘post history additional’
- NW0OB2 ‘definition’:
- NW0ODG official directory URL: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicate-post/
- NW1WHN official URL: http://lopo.it/duplicate-post-plugin/
- NW0OG2 ‘on 1.JotHere.com’: on 1.JotHere.com
- NW0P9G since installation, used for post posts to create the post, by starting from another here, as typically the one with the highest ID, then editing to fit, as latest example this post’s creation, which has always worked out very well, other than style updates need to be manually updated to past posts, which is a significant cost, but there are no known immediate or even-short-term better solutions.
- NW3UGL always uses the version latest unless noted.
- NW1VZD settings
- NW1VZL shown & set at http://1.jothere.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=duplicatepost
- NW1W0X are all the defaults except:
- NW3U3B to support use by non-Admins
- NW2H3X to support use by Contributor & Author role
- NW2H6R workaround NW2GNV starting now
- NW1W7D workaround NW1W35 starting now
- NW1W8G ‘Title Prefix’ from ‘’ to
- NW1W9W ‘/5058#NW1W9W copy of: ’ starting now.
- NW3WW6 aside: do to use of workarounds, this post added to category ‘this site’s unresolved bug NQBOLF’
- NW3Y23 coverage here
- NW3Y2K full found seemingly by “Duplicate Post” dashboard post search
- NW3YS4 currently ~7 posts mostly like ‘http://1.JotHere.com snapshot then /wp-admin/update-core.php (12 then 4.1.1 to 4.2.2) (doing) NORAXP’
- NW3Y2K full found seemingly by “Duplicate Post” dashboard post search
- NW1ULQ What‘s the difference between its ops ‘Clone’ and ‘New Draft’ variant’?
- NW1UM9 -not quick to find
- NW1UZG from official directory entry from ‘How it works: ..duplicate’ plus behavior quickly witnessed, the difference appears only what the op selects in the end:
- NW1VCR ‘New Draft’ variant’ (referring to ‘How it works’ options 2+3+4) makes the copy then up the result (the copy) for editing
- NW1V11 ‘Clone’ appears to do exactly ‘New Draft’ variant’ does excepts skips last step (browse) and instead never leaves the existing Dashboard Posts-list page as http://1.jothere.com/wp-admin/edit.php , so then leaving the copy internally.
- NW1V65 as such supposedly ‘speeding up your work if you have many posts to duplicate’ but
- NW1V8M the behavior seems not good
- NW1VLR at least without any better examples than the docs talk of.
- NW1VI4 as
- NW1VHL confusing including not at all readily explained (nothing on the UI and even the official docs are to interpret)
- NW1VIT easy to accidentally create drafts that don’t get edited
- NW1VJK seemingly achievable nearly as fast & much more intuitively plus potentially more powerfully via {‘New Draft’ variant’ right-click.open in new window} then edit or just-close that window as seems fit
- NW1VL8 so wish we could turn it off
- NW3UTE settings
- NW3UG0 versions
- NW0OHX problems seen, from worst first
- NW0OIC so far, unless noted, these are all found on ‘on 1.JotHere.com’ but likely occur elsewhere current as JotHere is fairly up to date.
- NW3R90 {for users in roles NOT selected in the settings ‘Roles allowed to copy’, indeed (copying) features not listed as an option BUT still performs} is a problem
- NW3RCM of degree
- NW3TU9 workaround
- NW3TUO until a patch is released to fix this, disable plugin normally plus 0 or more of:
- NW3TXQ whenever its use is needed, try in order:
- NW3WEQ user does following NW3VOG
- NW3VT9 ask an admin do perform it for the user
- NW3TXQ whenever its use is needed, try in order:
- NW3TUO until a patch is released to fix this, disable plugin normally plus 0 or more of:
- NW3REF specifically
- NW3RF5 example(s): a user with Role Author (here Protector2077), given default setting,
- NW3RL8 listing all posts gives none with the copy options, even with listing own posts, still as far as still performing copy ops on if given the URL to do so
- NW3RPL for 1 of its own,
- NW3RV6 CAN per http://1.jothere.com/wp-admin/admin.php?action=duplicate_post_save_as_new_post_draft&post=5004 it just produced http://1.jothere.com/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=5066 (then did ‘Move to Trash’)
- NW3SDB for a password protected post owned by someone else, CAN
- NW3SME – a security breach
- NW3SLF per using ‘Clone’ URL produced a copy with then user can open by ‘Edit’ (then did ‘Move to Trash’) -so CAN
- NW3TK0 note Incognito Mode trying this got login prompt –proper
- NW3SSF for a private post owned by someone else,
- NW3STL a little less of a risk because the other doesn’t know the URL since the post doesn’t list, but could find them via enumeration
- NW3T5S -a security breach
- NW3T1O using ‘New Draft’ URL produced a copy then in edit –so CAN (then did ‘Move to Trash’)
- NW3TDC note properly ‘Edit’ performed by other user gave message ‘You are not allowed to edit this item.’
- NW3TJL note Incognito mode trying this got login prompt –proper
- NW3RPL for 1 of its own,
- NW3RL8 listing all posts gives none with the copy options, even with listing own posts, still as far as still performing copy ops on if given the URL to do so
- NW3RF5 example(s): a user with Role Author (here Protector2077), given default setting,
- NW0OMJ {plugin’s features not listed for Author[and Contributor]-role user with view privilege on another’s post} is a problem
- NW2C1Q which seems likely to have been done intentionally
- NW2C22 as the settings ‘Roles allowed to copy’ has
- NW2C59 these exact 2 roles off by default, per workaround NW1W35
- NW2C77 ending the alert ‘Warning: users will be able to copy all posts, even those of other users’
- NW2C83 where ‘users’ I’m guessing really means ‘roles selected here’
- NW3QV1 where ‘all posts, even those of other users’ appears NOT accurate, specifically:
- NW3QWZ apparently instead should be say ‘posts of {all they own plus {others including ‘password’ but not private}’ but it’s really hard to tell as actually (bug) regardless of this setting the other roles can copy everything}
- NW2C9E but post copying is fully possible without this plugin
- NW2CDQ by say 2 minutes of trouble instead of 2 seconds, by individually copying each field and pasting into a new post or elsewhere,
- NW2CSY at just as good quality, by opening the source post for edit then copying from there,
- NW2CT6 or/and where that is not possible (yes for Author & Contributor, plus the unlogged-in for public posts}) at quality nearly as good (just after some minor WordPress formatting filters) by copying from the post’s normal WYSIWYG display
- NW2CDQ by say 2 minutes of trouble instead of 2 seconds, by individually copying each field and pasting into a new post or elsewhere,
- NW2C22 as the settings ‘Roles allowed to copy’ has
- NW0OTI specifically
- NW0OVX for user Protector2077 and expect any other Author-role user
- NW0OZ9 http://1.jothere.com/5045 (owned by another user) is viewable to the user but
- NW0OZG fails to list any features as ‘New Draft’
- NW0P5I http://1.jothere.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=post&all_posts=1 for that post lists for actions not the usual ‘New Draft’ and ‘Clone’ (so only ‘View’)
- NW0PHF aside: to report this somewhere immediately lead to creating this post.
- NW0P6G non-problem cases: (none)
- NW0P8U no others known
- NW1VY8 workaround
- NW2GNV {have an Editor or higher role {do the operation (copy) then change the copy’s author to the desired user}}
- NW2GU6 has ‘notable pros thru cons:’
- NW2JZN test now by having a role Editor (user Destiny) http://1.jothere.com/wp-admin/edit.php select on this post ‘New Draft’; get http://1.jothere.com/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=5063 with popup ‘This content is currently locked. If you take over, AnytimeInnovator will be blocked from continuing to edit.’ to which say ‘Take Over’, seeing that this created a copy of the latest draft so including this point NW2JZN then change ‘Author’ from self to ‘Protector2077’ then close tab but the change doesn’t get saved and while http://1.jothere.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=post&all_posts=1 lists the new post the destination user can’t edit
- NW2KBK so on the new post do ‘ ’ to change author to desired; this does allow target user’s http://1.jothere.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=post&all_posts=1 to display on the post
- NW1VYJ change settings ‘Roles allowed to copy’ (which only applies to editing roles)
- NW1W1K from {the default: missing ‘Author’ & ‘Contributor’} to what seems reasonable:
- NW2EXM is so far likely unacceptable due to security breach {an Author sees (& can do?) copy ops on password protected post created by some other}
- NW2FE8 as examples
- NW2F27 bad: for same user doing http://1.jothere.com/wp-admin/edit.php?s=5045&post_status=all&post_type=post&action=-1&m=0&cat=0&paged=1&mode=list&action2=-1 gets ‘
‘../.. vet matter NT0AAM intro ’NT3AYB – Password protected MissionFirst ’
- NW2F8M where the ‘’ produces http://1.jothere.com/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=5061 -a full copy of what the user shouldn’t have access to (so now did ‘Move to Trash’
- NW2FF7 good: for same user doing http://1.jothere.com/wp-admin/edit.php?s=NVDF32&post_status=all&post_type=post&action=-1&m=0&cat=0&paged=1&mode=list&action2=-1 displays nothing, though for an Admin & perhaps Editor, it would display a Private post
- NW2F27 bad: for same user doing http://1.jothere.com/wp-admin/edit.php?s=5045&post_status=all&post_type=post&action=-1&m=0&cat=0&paged=1&mode=list&action2=-1 gets ‘
- NW2GCZ but plugin can simply plug this hole
- NW2FE8 as examples
- NW1W35 specifically to all roles
- NW2EXM is so far likely unacceptable due to security breach {an Author sees (& can do?) copy ops on password protected post created by some other}
- NW1W1K from {the default: missing ‘Author’ & ‘Contributor’} to what seems reasonable:
- NW2GNV {have an Editor or higher role {do the operation (copy) then change the copy’s author to the desired user}}
- NW2C1Q which seems likely to have been done intentionally
- NW1VN6 {‘Clone’ docs and seemingly a little functionality} is a problem
- NW1VO5 as detailed at NW1V8M
- NW1VTD {official documentation} has problems
- NW1VUI as not as organized as it could be, as for ‘Clone’
- NW3Y7A {fails to well automatically track source of post} is a problem
- NW3Y8N small seemingly as #NW3YGD
- NW3Y95 1st noted here at /4969#NUF9Z5
- NW3YE9 workaround
- NW3YEN do manually
- NW3YF0 via say as done here on this post
- NW3YGD as so far worked fine
- NW3YF0 via say as done here on this post
- NW3YEN do manually
- NW3WIX aside: per section topic, add post to ‘pattern flaw|bug LGB4B3’
- NW3VUG going without this plugin or equivalent
- NW3VVR a user can get a copy of an existing post by doing the 1st that works well enough:
- NW3VOG if the user has access to the source post, the user does the copy manually
- NW3W85 asking an administrator to perform this copy
- NW3W92 which the administrator does effectively the same except sets ‘post owner’ to the requested owner.
- NW3VVR a user can get a copy of an existing post by doing the 1st that works well enough:
- ‘‘section history additional’ ‘in reverse start order’:’
-
- annex
- NW0NWQ ‘post history additional’: ‘‘post history additional’ ‘in reverse start order’:’
- NW3YUV ‘{post.status.snapshot{;date ’20151012Mon0601pst‘;after ID ’minutes 0‘;revision ’1‘;version ’1.0‘;words ’1954‘;as ’small TODOs but good to gtePublished‘;do ’Publish 1‘}}’
- NW3YSR redo spellcheck & replacements (168)
- NW3XPX add #NW3Y23 so #NW3Y95
- NW3X7V spellcheck;{update IDs to latest format: 155 replacements};
- NW3X7A TODO: carefully proofread + verify links:
- NW3QAE checking links for privacy: found them, causing doing #NW3U4L including {documenting that at top-level #NW3R90}
- NW2JX4 finished completing initial content
- NW0NOD ‘{post.status.snapshot: date ’20151019Sat1107pst‘;after ID’ minutes 1~‘;revision ’1‘;version ’0.1‘;words ’~300‘;as ’user reports bug on this‘;do ’minutes ago, to get a reasonable template only (no source text), from http://1.jothere.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=post pick the post with the highest post #, post revision http://1.JotHere.com/5045#NVV8NV , and there do “New Draft”, so created fresh this post http://1.JotHere.com/5058#NW0NUS then “cut {all its content not to be reused here, so the content just applying to the template, so all the posts’ fully stated points including their KCGUIDs} replacing with new ones.”‘}’.
