# Causing duplicate post ID's

 * This follows my support query from 10 months ago titled “[Interesting conflict with WP-Types for CPTs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/interesting-conflict-with-wp-types-for-cpts)“.
 * Every time a post is edited and updated, regardless of whether the permalink 
   is changed or not, a duplicate ID is created in any posts which happen to be *
   child* posts of that post.
 * Is there any fix to this? – or do you know a simple way to edit the database 
   so that unique IDs can be created for all child posts again?
 * Hope to hear back from you.
    Thank you

 * Further to my previous post: What is actually happening, is that the Enhanced
   Custom Permalink plugin is giving the same permalink to a posts *child* posts,
   as well as to the post itself.
 * This is causing navigational difficulties around the site. We need to find a 
   solution quickly.
 * Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.
    Thank you
