How do I copy an article in Joomla?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 8:13 am

Copying an article in Joomla can be a simple process if you know where to look. To start, open the article you want to copy in Joomla and find the “Copy” button at the top of the article. Once the Copy button is activated, you will need to copy the article’s content into a new document. Once the document is complete, you will need to save it as a Joomla article.

PRO TIP: If you are using Joomla 1.5.x, the process for copying an article is as follows:

1. Log in to the backend of your Joomla site (the administration section).
2. Click on the “Content” menu item.
3. Click on the “Article Manager” icon.
4. Locate the article you want to copy and click on its checkbox.
5. From the “With selected:” dropdown menu, choose “Copy”.
6. Click on the “Copy” button.

A warning message will appear asking you to confirm your action. Click on the “Copy” button to confirm and the article will be duplicated.

To do this, click on the Save button in the top right corner of the document, and enter “article” as the filename. Finally, you will need to activate the Joomla article by clicking on the “Activate” button in the top right corner.
