 * Hi,
 * I have Yoast Duplicate Post enabled for elementor templates. I am trying to duplicate
   Elementor Sections such as the one labelled “Editor’s Pick” near the top of the
   page linked above.
 * However, there seems to be a known error with Yoast Duplicate Post where clicking
   CLONE on a saved Elementor Section Template duplicate that item as an Elementor
   PAGE Template instead. Which is unusable.
 * This issue was surfaced on this forum 6 months ago [here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-duplicate-elementor-items/)
   and acknowledged by the moderators but there have been no further updates on 
   a fix. Can you provide any assistance or updates now?
 * Thank you.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fduplicate-post-function-not-working-for-elementor-section-templates%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@andycrossley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andycrossley/)
 * Thanks for reporting this issue. Yes, there is an open bug report for this issue
   where duplicating the Elementor ‘section’ template creates a copy as a ‘page’
   template.
 * I’ll try to ask for an update with our developers on this and try to get back
   to you.
