Since you want to duplicate a form, I’ll assume that you have WPForms installed already. If you don’t, [download WPForms now](https://wpforms.com/pricing/) and install it on your site. You’ll need to [create your first form](https://wpforms.com/docs/creating-first-form/ "create your first form") in order to make a copy.

Head over to your WordPress dashboard and go to **WPForms » All Forms.**

Here you’ll see all your existing forms including the one you want to duplicate.

![The WPForms Forms Overview page](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/forms-overview-page.png)Find the form you want to clone and hover the mouse over the form name. You’ll see some options just below the title.

Once you see the option **Duplicate**, click on it to continue.

![Duplicating a form](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/duplicate-form.png)A confirmation modal box will open up asking you to confirm whether you want to duplicate the form or not.

Click on **OK** to confirm.

![Confirming you want to duplicate a form](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/confirm-duplicate-form.png)You’ll notice that a duplicate form has been created. The title of this new form will be identical to the original form, except that the new form has “(ID #)” included.

## 2. Customize and Configure the New Form

To change the title of the new form, or to modify the form content and layout, hover the mouse over the form name and click on **Edit**.

![Editing a duplicate form](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/edit-duplicate-form.png)Now click on the **Setup** tab, present on the left sidebar, to edit the form name. Here you’ll find a text box with the duplicate WordPress form name. Change the name as per your wish and then click on **Save**.

![Renaming your form](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/rename-form.png)If you want to add a new field, click on the **Fields** tab and then drag a new field from the left panel to your form. You can also rearrange or edit the form fields by clicking on them.

Finally, go to the **Settings** tab. Here you can change the form description and submit button text in the **General** section. You can also [enable anti-spam protection](https://wpforms.com/how-to-build-spam-free-wordpress-contact-forms-the-ultimate-guide/) to prevent spam submissions in the **Spam Protection and Security** section.

![WPForms settings](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/wpforms-settings-1.png)You can also [set up form notification emails](https://wpforms.com/docs/setup-form-notification-wpforms/) and [adjust the confirmation settings](https://wpforms.com/docs/setup-form-confirmation-wpforms/) in your duplicate WordPress form if you want to adjust the settings.

## 3. Add Your Duplicate WordPress Form to Your Site

Once you’ve created and customized your form, you need to add it to your website.

I’ll show you how to add your duplicate form to a new page.

Back in the form builder, click the **Embed** button. Then click **Create New Page**.

![Embed a form on a new page in WPForms](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Embed-Modal-1024x430.png)Now, click **Preview,** and you’ll see your duplicate WordPress form as it will appear on your website.

If you’re satisfied with the way your duplicate WordPress form looks, go ahead and click on **Publish** and your form will go live on the Internet.

### FAQs on Form Duplication

Still stuck? Here are some of the most common questions we get about copied forms.

#### Why duplicate a form instead of making a brand new one?

Copying a form will save you time since you don’t have to rebuild one from scratch each time.

Here are some of the most common reasons for duplicating a form:

- **Frequently used fields** that appear in most forms on your website can be cloned
- **Testing a form** using A/B or split testing can be easy when you duplicate and rearrange it to measure [form conversions](https://wpforms.com/research-based-tips-to-improve-contact-form-conversions/)
- **Styling forms individually** is easy when you create multiple variations. You can design one form better suited for a sidebar and another for embedding into a contact page.

#### Can you copy a WordPress form without losing data?

Yes, you can. Your original form is unaffected. If you’re using WPForms Pro, your entries are stored in WordPress, and those entries won’t change when you make a copy.

#### Can I copy a form from one WordPress site to another?

Yes, you can. You can [download the entire form](https://wpforms.com/docs/how-to-import-and-export-wpforms/) and then upload it on another site.

#### Can I duplicate a form with conditional logic in WordPress?

Yes. When you duplicate a form using the method I’ve shown you, all of your conditional logic will be present in the duplicate.

#### Can I duplicate a form from a staging site to a live WordPress site?

Yes, you can. It’s just the same as copying a form from one site to another: [export the form](https://wpforms.com/docs/how-to-import-and-export-wpforms/) and then upload it on another site.

### Next, Export Your Form Entries

That’s it! You’ve duplicated a WordPress form with data from an existing form within your website.

Now, whenever you’ve made a customized form, you’ll save yourself the time and energy of recreating a similar form.
