Other key things to remember is to add the new title and if you are worried about SEO make sure the permalink is also the same if that is your goal.
Step 5: Duplicate a wordpress page using Elementor
This Process is much easier. If your page is using elementor you can create templates and add them to your library of templates. On the original site click on edit with elementor. This will open the elementor editor and at the bottom of the page you will see a file folder. Click on this file folder and in the top right hand corner of the popup you will see a save button. Click This button, name the template and click save. Now that this template is saved you can use it over many different pages and it is reusable to help you create duplicate wordpress pages.
Now that you have created a template you can enter the elementor editor on your new page. Scroll to the bottom and click on the same file folder you did when creating your template. Select my template, find the template you just named and click insert. You have now successfully duplicated a wordpress page using elementor.
