You can duplicate blocks quickly in the Gutenberg Editor. This will copy the blocks exactly as they are, recreating the content as well as the block.
Make sure you are using the Gutenberg editor. If you upgraded to WordPress 5, then your post and page editor will default to use the Gutenberg editor. If you are still using WordPress 4 (or earlier) or have the Classic Editor installed, then your editor will not work with this tutorial.
How to Duplicate Blocks
Follow these instructions to duplicate a block in the Gutenberg Editor:
- Open a post editor
- Click on the block you want to duplicate
- At the right end of the block’s navbar, click the three dots

This will create an exact copy of the block.
