 * Since the update to 3.x clicking “duplicate post/page” refreshes the page without
   creating a duplicate when using the [Nested Pages](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-nested-pages/)
   plugin. This can be somewhat circumvented by switching the index view to “default,”(
   instead of nested) but the new modal does not fire, and instead creates a clone
   in a new tab.

 * [@surlybirdz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/surlybirdz/) thanks for letting
   me know about this. I’ll take a look into it over the next few days and hopefully
   find a solution.

 * [@surlybirdz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/surlybirdz/) I have resolved
   issues for the posts lists screen (not released yet). Was there anything else
   you had issues with in addition to that screen? I want to make sure I have this
   buttoned up before releasing. Thanks!

 * Thanks for the quick response [@joemc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joemc/)!
   I have not observed any other issues so far.

 * Thanks for letting me know. I have just released and update (v3.0.7) that should
   resolve the issue for you. Also, you can adjust how you want duplication to happen
   on the **Settings > Post Duplicator **settings screen. If you choose **Basic**
   mode, the duplication will skip the popup and just duplicate the post based on
   your duplication defaults (Defaults tab on the settings screen).
 * Let me know if you still have any issues after this update.

 * Great update, duplication works as expected now. The only other thing that I 
   noticed is that the “view post” button links to the post id (?p=1234), and clicking
   it results in a 404. The “edit post” link works fine. 
   I haven’t spent any time
   on this, so it may be something specific to this site, but I wanted to give you
   a heads-up. Thanks again!

 * Good to hear! And thanks for letting me know about the View Post issue. WordPress
   should be redirecting ?p=1234 to the actual front end url, but there are certain
   situations were it may not:
    - **Broken .htaccess:** Your server configuration file might be missing the 
      standard WordPress rewrite rules.
    - **Plugin Conflicts:** Some “Redirection” or “SEO” plugins can occasionally
      interfere with the default canonical behavior if misconfigured.
    - **Caching:** Sometimes heavy server-side caching (like Varnish or Nginx FastCGI
      cache) can serve the plain link without triggering the PHP redirect logic.
 * In any case, I just released an update (v3.0.8) that sets the View Post to url
   the fully rendered permalink url instead of relying on the WordPress redirect.
   This should resolve this issue for you.

 * Thanks, [@joemc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joemc/) ! The update appears
   to have corrected the issue with the “view post” link. I did notice a couple 
   of other small issues today when using the Modal option with nested pages enabled:
   
   1. The modal doesn’t pass the parent page value through to the cloned pain, so
   it appears as if it’s a top-level item2. The cloned item doesn’t appear in the
   posts index after creation. They can be found using the “search” function, but
   don’t appear in the unfiltered view. This is true of both “nested pages” view,
   and the default. It works as expected if I disable the modal option and open 
   the cloned page in the same tab.

 * [@surlybirdz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/surlybirdz/) thanks for the
   further information! I believe I have a solution for this locally and will release
   an update in the next few days.
