WordPress will throw an error if you repeat this code for pages, because
rd_duplicate_post_as_draft
cannot be called twice.What worked for me, to also do this for pages, is to change all instances of
rd_duplicate_post
syntax tord_duplicate_page
.Also you have to remove the last line and replace it with:
add_filter('page_row_actions', 'rd_duplicate_post_link', 10, 2);
Then the "duplicate" link is seen under all posts or pages listed in WordPress when you hover each one. Plus, it copies all categories, tags, and even all the meta data you entered if you use "All in one SEO" for a page or post. Quite convenient!
