#### FAQ

**How come I can't change my permalinks?**

You need to make sure that your permalinks are set to anything but the default inside of `Settings > Permalinks`. Once the permalinks are changed from the defaults you should have no problem changing the permlink of your page.

**I have (a) custom post type(s) registered on my site. Can I use this plugin to clone it?**

Yes! We've built out a settings page (`'Settings > WP Post Cloner'`) where you can specify which post types are cloneable. By default only pages and posts are active. You can add or remove any registered post type on your site. 

**My custom post type doesn't have a 'Duplicate' button. Why not?**

You need to ensure that you've assigned the psot type as 'clone-able' on the settings page. Head into `'Settings > WP Post cloner'` and click inside the input field to reveal a full list of registered post types. You'll want to make sure that your custom post type appears on this list.

**I have a whole bunch of custom meta assigned to my posts/pages/custom post type, will this plugin transfer over everything?**

Yes! We've built in full support for taxonomies and meta data for default posts, pages and even custom post types that may be specific to your theme or created via third party plugins.
