## Description

R2K Terms Copier is a simple and powerful WordPress plugin that allows you to duplicate
any taxonomy term (categories, tags, or custom taxonomies) along with all associated
meta data without relationships.

#### 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
 * **Preserves Relationships**: Parent-child term relationships are maintained
 * **Smart Naming**: Automatically appends “(Copy)” to duplicated terms, with automatic
   numbering if duplicates exist
 * **Works with All Taxonomies**: Compatible with categories, tags, and any custom
   taxonomies
 * **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

#### Use Cases

 * Duplicate complex category structures with custom meta fields
 * Create template terms for reuse
 * Quickly create variations of existing terms
 * Copy terms with ACF or other custom field data
 * Duplicate hierarchical term structures

#### Developer Hooks

The plugin provides a filter for developers to customize behavior:

 * `r2k_terms_copier_skip_meta_keys` – Filter to exclude specific meta keys from
   duplication

### Developer Information

#### Filters

 * `r2k_terms_copier_skip_meta_keys` – Array of meta keys to skip during duplication

Example usage:
 add_filter( ‘r2k_terms_copier_skip_meta_keys’, function( $keys ){
$keys[] = ‘my_custom_key’; return $keys; } );

### Support

## 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”).

I have the Yoast Duplicate Posts plugin installed on almost every site that I’ve
built, but today realised that it is missing that same duplication feature for taxonomy
terms! Really grateful that this plugin exists because it cut my interruption short
and quickly let me get back on with the site development. Works pretty much perfectly;
it cloned the term, with the JetEngine meta terms added on to it. The only thing
I noticed was that the Yoast SEO plugin lost its setting to “do not allow index”
during the copy, although this might be a feature of the Yoast plugin perhaps and
not an incompatibility?
