Get started nowAuto copy (PRO)
Overview
Auto copy makes copies without anyone clicking: as soon as a post is published for the first time, every matching rule makes one copy of it with a profile — on this site, or on another site of your network.
Typical uses:
- Syndication — every news post also appears, as a draft, on a sister site of the network.
- Translation drafts — with a profile whose Assistant translates with AI.
- Archive or staging copies of everything published in a category.
Rules
Open RB Plugins → Duplicate Post → Auto copy and click + Add a rule.
Each rule reads as a sentence:
When a [post type] in [category] is published, copy it with [profile] to the site [site]
- Post type — posts, pages or any custom post type.
- Category — for posts: any category, or one category.
- Profile — decides what the copy contains, how it is named and what the Assistant does with it.
- Site — on a network: this site or another one.
A rule can be switched off without deleting it. Up to 10 rules; click Save rules.
How it works
- Only the first publication counts — updating a published post makes no new copy.
- The copy is made in the background (WP-Cron), right after publishing, so publishing stays fast even when the profile uses AI.
- Each rule copies a post once. Copies, rewrites (Rewrite & Republish) and posts a rule has already copied are never copied again — so rules cannot run in circles, even if a copy is published.
- Questions of the profile’s Assistant take their default answers.
- A copy that fails is tried again, up to three times, a few minutes apart. A post taken off publication in the meantime is skipped. A final failure fires the action
rb_duplicate_post_auto_copy_failedfor developers; it is not shown on the screen. - Every automatic copy is in the log, with the user System.
