Descripción

Key Features

  • One-Click Duplication: Simply hover over any term in the taxonomy list and click «Duplicate»
  • Complete Meta Data Copy: All term meta data is automatically copied to the duplicate

  • Security First: Includes nonce verification and capability checks
  • User-Friendly: Clear success and error messages

How It Works

  1. Navigate to any taxonomy term list (e.g., Posts Categories)
  2. Hover over the term you want to duplicate
  3. Click the «Duplicate» link that appears in the row actions
  4. The term is instantly duplicated with all its meta data

FAQ

Does this work with custom taxonomies?

Yes! R2K Terms Copier works with all taxonomies including categories, tags, and any custom taxonomies registered in WordPress.

Will child terms be duplicated?

Currently, only the selected term is duplicated. Child terms are not automatically duplicated, but the parent-child relationship is preserved if the original term had a parent.

What meta data is copied?

All term meta data is copied by default. You can use the r2k_terms_copier_skip_meta_keys filter to exclude specific meta keys if needed.

What permissions are required?

Users need the manage_categories capability to duplicate terms.

Can I customize the duplicate name?

The plugin automatically appends «(Copy)» to the term name. If a term with that name already exists, it will add a number (e.g., «Term (Copy) 1»).
