No duplicate item is created.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Clone vs Convert<\/h3>\n\n<h3>Clone<\/h3>\n\n<p>Clone creates a new item while preserving the original.<\/p>\n\n<p>Example:<\/p>\n\n<p>Post #123 \u2192 Clone as Page<\/p>\n\n<p>The original Post remains unchanged and a new Page is created.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Convert<\/h3>\n\n<p>Convert changes the existing item's post type.<\/p>\n\n<p>Example:<\/p>\n\n<p>Post #123 \u2192 Convert to Page<\/p>\n\n<p>The existing Post becomes a Page. No second item is created.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Content Handling<\/h3>\n\n<p>The plugin is designed to preserve relevant content and compatible dependencies when cloning Posts and Pages.<\/p>\n\n<p>Depending on the operation and destination type, the plugin handles data such as:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Post title<\/li>\n<li>Post content<\/li>\n<li>Post excerpt<\/li>\n<li>Author<\/li>\n<li>Featured image<\/li>\n<li>Compatible post metadata<\/li>\n<li>Compatible taxonomy relationships<\/li>\n<li>Comment status<\/li>\n<li>Ping status<\/li>\n<li>Menu order<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The plugin does not blindly copy data that is incompatible with the destination post type.<\/p>\n\n<p>For example, native Post categories and tags are only preserved when the destination post type supports the corresponding taxonomies.<\/p>\n\n<p>Existing Media Library attachments referenced by the content are reused. The plugin does not create duplicate Media Library items.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Elementor Support<\/h3>\n\n<p>The plugin provides compatibility for Posts and Pages built with Elementor.<\/p>\n\n<p>When cloning Elementor-built content, the plugin preserves the Elementor document data and supported Elementor-related metadata associated with the source item.<\/p>\n\n<p>Supported Elementor-related data may include:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Elementor document structure<\/li>\n<li>Elementor widgets and sections<\/li>\n<li>Elementor document settings<\/li>\n<li>Elementor-related post metadata<\/li>\n<li>Elementor edit mode information<\/li>\n<li>Elementor template type information<\/li>\n<li>Elementor version information<\/li>\n<li>Document-specific generated styling and assets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The plugin also supports Elementor-built Posts and Pages when converting between the two supported WordPress post types.<\/p>\n\n<p>When an Elementor document is cloned or converted, the plugin prepares the Elementor document for the destination post type and clears or regenerates supported document-specific styling and caches when Elementor is available.<\/p>\n\n<p>Elementor is optional. Core Post and Page cloning and conversion functionality does not require Elementor.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Dependencies and Compatibility<\/h3>\n\n<p>The plugin uses native WordPress functionality for its core cloning and conversion operations.<\/p>\n\n<p>Compatible WordPress metadata and taxonomy relationships are preserved during cloning where supported by the destination post type.<\/p>\n\n<p>Existing Media Library attachments referenced by the source content remain associated with their original media items.<\/p>\n\n<p>The plugin does not duplicate media files or create duplicate attachment records.<\/p>\n\n<p>The plugin operates entirely within the current WordPress installation and does not transfer content between different WordPress installations.<\/p>\n\n<h3>What This Plugin Does Not Do<\/h3>\n\n<p>Version 2.0 intentionally has a focused scope.<\/p>\n\n<p>The current version does not provide:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Custom Post Type cloning or conversion<\/li>\n<li>WooCommerce product cloning or conversion<\/li>\n<li>Site migration<\/li>\n<li>WordPress database migration<\/li>\n<li>Website duplication<\/li>\n<li>Backup functionality<\/li>\n<li>Cross-site content transfer<\/li>\n<li>Media Library duplication<\/li>\n<li>Media file duplication<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Custom Post Type support may be considered for a future version.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Privacy<\/h3>\n\n<p>Samadhan Post Clone and Convert does not send Post, Page, or Elementor content to external services.<\/p>\n\n<p>All cloning and conversion operations are performed within your WordPress installation.<\/p>\n\n<p>The plugin does not require an external account or remote service for its core functionality.<\/p>\n\n<h3>License<\/h3>\n\n<p>Samadhan Post Clone and Convert is licensed under the GPL-2.0-or-later license.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the <code>samadhan-post-clone-convert<\/code> folder to the <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n<li>Activate <strong>Samadhan Post Clone and Convert<\/strong> through the <strong>Plugins<\/strong> screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n<li>Open the Posts or Pages screen.<\/li>\n<li>Use the available Clone or Convert actions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>Elementor is optional.
