The Process
Let’s assume you have three pages and you want to duplicate a specific sample page. With the standard WordPress tools, this is not possible. However, we can ask ChatGPT for some suggestions.
ChatGPT’s Recommendations
Based on our questions, ChatGPT suggests that we can potentially use an existing plugin like "Duplicate Post." While this is a great solution, it is not the route we want to take.
Creating the Plugin
The process is relatively straightforward if you have server access. By creating a PHP file and saving it in the WordPress plugin directory, you can activate the plugin in the WordPress admin area.
Plugin Activation
Upon activation, the plugin should appear in the WordPress plugins list. Once we activate the plugin, we will check if the dupliation feature in the admin menu works as expected.
Plugin Trial
We attempt to duplicate a sample page, and although it appears to work, an issue remains to be resolved. Despite this, we have successfully created a plugin that achieves the initial goal.
Debugging and Final Testing
Debugging any potential errors involves diving deep into what went wrong. With the debug mode enabled and the logs available in ChatGPT, you can understand why the code didn’t work as expected.
Conclusion
In this video, we’ve shown that it’s possible to create a plugin that successfully duplicates pages in WordPress. While there may be some bugs initially, this basic plugin is functional and can be expanded upon further.
