Really Simple Duplications

                        
  1/**
  2 * Duplicate WordPress Posts, Pages, and Custom Post Types as Drafts
  3 *
  4 * This code snippet enables the duplication of WordPress posts, pages, and all registered custom post types (CPTs).
  5 * It adds a 'Duplicate' link to the row actions for each item in the admin dashboard. When clicked, this link
  6 * triggers the duplication of the selected item, creating a new draft with the same content, custom fields,
  7 * and taxonomies.
  8 *
  9 * Functions:
 10 * 1. `duplicate_post_as_draft`: Handles the duplication process. It copies the post data, including title,
 11 *    content, excerpt, and custom fields, and creates a new post with a 'draft' status. It also maintains
 12 *    the taxonomy terms (like categories and tags) from the original post.
 13 * 2. `duplicate_post_link`: Adds the 'Duplicate' action link to the WordPress admin interface for each post,
 14 *    page, and custom post type. This link uses WordPress's built-in nonce functionality for security.
 15 * 3. `apply_duplicate_post_link_to_cpts`: Dynamically applies the duplicate post link function to all public
 16 *    post types, ensuring the 'Duplicate' link appears for any custom post types registered on the site.
