Duplicating a page in WordPress can be a huge time-saver, especially when you’re using a powerful page builder like Divi. Whether you’re building landing pages, creating similar layouts, or simply want a starting point for a new design, knowing how to duplicate a Divi page is an essential skill.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you do just that:
1. Access the Divi Builder:
From the WordPress Dashboard
- Go to Pages -> Add New Page.
- Give your new page a title, then click Use Divi Builder.
- From here you can select to build from scratch or choose a premade layout that Divi can provide for some guidance.
From the Front-End
- If you’re already on a page built with Divi, click the purple Divi icon and select Enable Visual Builder.
- Then, click the three dots at the bottom centre of the screen, and choose Save to Library. This will save your current page layout as a template.
- Next, go to the back end and select Pages -> Add New, give your new page a title, click Use Divi Builder, and then select Browse Layouts.
- Select the template that you previously saved to library.
2. Insert a page while editing
Using the Visual Builder
- Once the Visual Builder loads, click the three dots at the bottom centre of the screen and select Insert Layout.
- From the three options, choose Premade Layout and then select Existing Pages where you can clone your page by inserting it.
- If you don’t want to replace any of the content on the page you are currently editing, be sure to untick the Replace Existing Content.
