This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client was experiencing an issue where duplicating a published post resulted in the duplicate being immediately published, rather than staying in draft as expected.
Solution:
We explained that the behavior observed is by design in our plugin. When using the "duplicate" feature, the status of the original page or post is copied to the duplicate. Therefore, if the original is "published", the duplicate will also be "published". We asked the client to share more about their workflow to understand why they are duplicating pages or posts that aren't ready to be displayed, so we could suggest a more suitable alternative workflow.
If this solution is not relevant to your situation, because it might be outdated or not applicable to your case, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you need further assistance, please contact our support forum.
