    Hello,

    I have a question about something that I think other happy users of Duplicate Post may have as well and there may be a solution – but I cannot find it.

    On this website a new post ‘Star Magazine Online’ is created once (sometimes twice) per week, by duplicating the previous post and editing the content. Every time the permalink is extended with “-2” unless, of course, you change the permalink manually.

    It would be really nice if, instead of
    star-magazine-online-234-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2
    star-magazine-online-234-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2
    star-magazine-online-234-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2
    star-magazine-online-234-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2
    …
    (all automatically) I could get
    star-magazine-online-235 (changed manually, ok)
    star-magazine-online-236 (automatically)
    star-magazine-online-237
    star-magazine-online-238
    …

    Is that possible?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Maybe is a wrong aproximation, but since slug is automatically generated by WordPress and this plugin is only copying the slug from original post and letting wp do the job, I cleanup the slug to the first so wp assigns correctly the new number.

    duplicate-post-admin.php:601

    
	$post_name = $post->post_name;
	if(get_option('duplicate_post_copyslug') != 1){
		$post_name = '';
	} else {
		$result = preg_match( "/(.*)-\d*$/", $post_name, $matches);
		if($result){
			$post_name = $matches[1];
		}
	}

    Side effects: posts with a number at the end are cleaned up as well…
