 * Hi Samowal1201,
 * At the moment there’s no way to automatically delete duplicate posts, it’s a 
   manual process only. However it is on the roadmap to be added at some point in
   the future. I don’t have a set time frame yet, but it should happen.
 * Cheers,
    Stephen

 * would be highly appreciated to have that possibility! Either via a cron setting
   or via wp-cli – both are really easy to implement. You could take a look at the
   disfunctional delete duplicate posts plugin, it has some code about cron, but
   the wordpress dev docs about cron are as easy.
 * But implementing wp-cli will be quicker, it means just adding a wrapper – that
   would give us the great option to use this plugin as a wp-cli command line command
   AND would make it easy to automate it via cron, without any need to build a gui
   dialog for cron settings (rabbithole!)
 * I would opt for wp-cli as a quick fix and a very good option for automation for
   power users (or anyone who knows how to use wp-cli).
 * If you put the code on github it will be easier to collaborate on this.
 * Thanks for your attention!

 * Hi B0RG,
 * Missed this one as well. Nice idea about wp-cli. I use it all the time for other
   things. Will look into that. Might have to add the setting as well, because some
   users won’t be comfortable with wp-cli.
 * Anyway, definitely on the agenda.
