How to Duplicate a Page in WordPress Elementor

Building a new service page, landing page, or portfolio entry from scratch in Elementor takes time. When you already have a page that’s close to what you need, duplicating it means you start from something that already works.

Here are the most practical situations where duplication saves real time:

• Multiple service pages with the same layout: If each service page follows the same format (intro, benefits, pricing, CTA), duplicate once and swap out the content for each service.
• Landing page variations for A/B testing: Duplicate the page, change only the headline or the CTA button text, and run both versions to see which converts better.
• Portfolio or case study entries: Same structure, different project. Duplicate and replace text and images.
• Building a staging copy before a redesign: Duplicate the live page, redesign on the copy, then replace the original when you’re ready to go live.
• Creating seasonal or campaign versions: Duplicate a product page for a sale or promotion, customize the pricing and banner, and publish it for the campaign period.

Both methods below work with the free version of Elementor unless noted otherwise.

To duplicate an Elementor page, save the original version as a template and then load it onto a new page. Here is how to do it step by step.

Open the page you want to duplicate in the Elementor editor. Click the arrow icon next to the green ‘Update’ button in the bottom left corner to reveal the Save Options menu. Click ‘Save as Template’. Give the template a descriptive name — for example, “Service Page Layout” — and click the Save button. The template is now saved to your Elementor template library.

To use it on a new page, first create a new WordPress page via Pages > Add New and open it in the Elementor editor. Click the folder icon in the center of the blank canvas (or in the toolbar) to open the Template Library. Switch to the ‘My Templates’ tab and find the template you just saved. Click ‘Insert’ and the full page design will load into the new page. You can then edit the text, images, and any other content while keeping the layout intact.

If you have Elementor Pro, you also have the option to duplicate pages from the WordPress Pages list. Hover over any page and look for the ‘Elementor’ option in the quick actions. From there you can copy a page’s Elementor design directly.

Either method saves you significant time compared to rebuilding the same layout from scratch.

The template method above works well when you want to save a layout for reuse across many future pages. But if you just need a quick copy of one page right now, a dedicated plugin is faster.

Duplicate Page (free plugin):

Install the Duplicate Page plugin from the WordPress plugin repository (search “Duplicate Page” in Plugins > Add New). Once activated, go to Pages in your WordPress dashboard. Hover over any page in the list and you’ll see a “Duplicate This” link appear below the page title. Click it and WordPress creates an exact copy of the page, including all Elementor layout data, as a draft. Open the draft in Elementor, make your edits, and publish.

The whole process takes about 15 seconds, compared to the multi-step template save and load.

Elementor Pro users — built-in duplication:
If you have Elementor Pro, you don’t need the plugin. In the WordPress Pages list, hover over any page and click “Elementor” in the row actions. From there, select “Copy to New Draft”. This creates a duplicate draft with the same Elementor design, ready to edit.

One thing to do after duplicating:
WordPress copies the page content but not the SEO metadata. Open the duplicate, find your SEO plugin’s meta box (Yoast, Rank Math, or similar), and set a new title, description, and unique URL slug. If both pages have the same meta title and description, search engines may see them as duplicates and rank neither. Update the SEO fields before you publish.
