Ticking time-bomb. Avoid
-
This plugin turned out to be problematic for us on many levels, so I am changing the 5-star review to a 1-star, as the plugin does a little more than just copying posts.
The Copy & Delete Posts plugin injected unnecessary HTML elements, hidden inputs and JavaScript into the frontend of our website, including the homepage, despite being intended solely for administrative post duplication.
This frontend injection includes modal structures and global event listeners that assume the presence of specific DOM elements. IF these expected elements are absent (which they are on most public-facing pages including the one I am working on) the plugin’s JavaScript causes execution errors such asUncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'addEventListener').
These errors then block or delay critical page scripts, resulting in severely degraded load performance, especially on interactive homepages. The plugin’s failure to scope its output to the admin area (is_admin()) represents a clear violation of frontend best practices and directly interferes with legitimate, site-specific JavaScript functionality.
Avoid.
