My g/f has a client whose site is Wordpress. She's a print designer but I've walked her through Wordpress basics; the client is incapable of doing anything.

The site has several galleries, each attached to a single page.

The client has requested that on one page content (including the gallery) be split into two.

As this would require creating a new page and gallery, each with content in the existing page I thought the way forward would be to duplicate the page, and gallery, and delete the unwanted content in each as appropriate.

I found a plugin that will 'clone' a page, but it does not clone the gallery. Wordpress does not seem to allow cloning a gallery. I have found a way to insert a duplicate gallery (ie, page B has a copy of Page A's gallery), but I really want to make two copies and then delete selectively.

The alternative is (and this is the standard way with Wordpress) to create a new gallery for one page, which means uploading, resizing, making thumbs and tagging each image in the gallery. This is irritating as this work has been done.

I am 100% sure that I could do it using MySQL; but, I am at work and my g/f is at home. I could walk her through installing a plugin easily, but firing up PhpMyAdmin and giving instructions over gTalk is not going to happen. Also.. being at work I can't do some freelance job.

So: suggestions?

Well, in the last 6 hours, she's done it manually.

Seems very silly that Wordpress cant do this out of the box.

I never use default stuff from WP. Always use a plugin for such things, most of the time XML stuff, that way you can just copy folders.

You get XML plugins?

Thought they were js/php and required either upload or install using the addon-manager?

Nah, plugins that utilize XML to sort their data and stuff, paid plugins but i know there are also free ones.

OK.. yes, I was checking out free ones.

What I will do if I have the time is write one that does it. And then sell it!
