## Description

BiteApps Duplicate solves the problem of full-site staging when you only need to
edit a single post.

 * Create private staging drafts of published posts.
 * Automatically applies `noindex` tags to prevent duplicate content SEO issues.
 * Perfectly syncs taxonomies (categories/tags) and post meta (featured images, 
   custom fields) upon merging.
 * Built-in multi-user locks to avoid race conditions.
 * Dedicated dashboard to track active stagings and activity logs.
 * One-click “Merge to Live” (with safety confirmation) to instantly push changes.

## FAQ

### Does this clone my entire database?

No. BiteApps Duplicate only duplicates the selected post. It does not clone pages,
custom post types, or your entire database.

### Will search engines index my staging drafts?

No. BiteApps Duplicate automatically forces a `noindex, nofollow` tag on all staging
drafts, fully integrating with WordPress core and popular SEO plugins (Yoast, Rank
Math, AIOSEO) to protect your site from duplicate content penalties.

### Does it sync featured images and categories?

Yes! Any changes you make to the staging draft’s featured image, categories, tags,
or custom fields will be seamlessly merged to the live post.
