Creates functionality to duplicate any and all post types, including taxonomies & custom fields.

== Description ==

This plugin was created to make an exact duplicate of a selected post. Custom post types are supported, along with custom taxonomies and custom fields.

*Note: Comments are not passed to the new post.

This plugin is simply meant to quickly and easily duplicate a post. Just hover over a post in the edit screen and select 'Duplicate {post_type}' to create a duplicate post.

I created this plugin mainly for myself when I'm develping WordPress sites. I always need dummy content to fill out the look of a website and wanted a very quick and easy way to create multiple posts.

== Installation ==

1. Upload `m4c-postduplicator` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress 

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Are there any settings I need to configure? =

No, but there are a couple settings you can adjust if you choose to do so.
View the settings by going to 'Tools > Post Duplicator'.

= How do I install the plugin? =

Check out the 'Installation' tab.

== Screenshots ==
