Description

HI,

I'M USING YOUR PLUGIN "YOAST DUPLICATE POST" (FREE VERSION) AND MY POSTS ARE ORGANIZED INTO FOLDERS.
CONNECTING WITH AN "EDITOR" PROFILE, WHEN I CLONE A POST THE COPY IS CREATED ALWAYS INTO THE ROOT FOLDER BUT NOT INTO THE SAME AS THE COPIED POST.
CONNECTING WITH THE "ADMINISTRATOR" PROFILE THAT'S OK... THE NEW POST IS CREATED INTO THE CORRECT FOLDER.

Research direction

Reproduce cloning a post in a folder while signed in as an Editor, then compare it with the Administrator result described in the issue. Trace the duplicate-post flow and its handling of the post's folder and user permissions. Done means Editor-created clones remain in the source post's folder, matching Administrator behavior.
