Cloned page do not copy the WordPress Excerpt or META description

Closed this issue 10 years ago · 1 comments

Hello,

Just wondered if anyone can help here. We've noticed that when a page is cloned by a Section Editor, the WordPress page Excerpt and META description that is managed by the WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin are not copied to the new cloned page.

Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

This is possible (though admittedly clunky) via code:

The current architecture requires plugins to explicitly register support for their custom post meta to be cloned / overwritten with alternate versions. (See #2).
