 * [@calvinke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/calvinke/) would you please confirm
   how you have this setup? Are you using the [Feed to Post addon](https://www.wprssaggregator.com/extension/feed-to-post/?utm_source=website&utm_medium=website_addons&utm_campaign=website_addons_f2p)?
   In addition, please share your related debug log and system info as outlined

 * Thanks [@mikeyboo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikeyboo/), I am using
   the free [WP RSS Aggregator](https://kb.wprssaggregator.com/). I have made a 
   custom template with my RSS feed, and used the code [wp-rss-aggregator template
   ="Custom"] to bring up the feed on a page. My debug log and system info are [here](https://codepen.io/kecalvin/pen/PoxRbZY).

 * I checked with the team and to assist with the troubleshooting, would you please
   confirm if the issue is happening on a single feed? Would you mind sharing the
   sample RSS feed?

 * The issue is happening on a single feed. The RSS feed is: [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/rss/search/1T5FW5K6kI7_ib25dnekyMtEXpGBLaOr06kN1qxSU80qPUWQcW/?limit=1000&utm_campaign=pubmed-2&fc=20230607213154](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/rss/search/1T5FW5K6kI7_ib25dnekyMtEXpGBLaOr06kN1qxSU80qPUWQcW/?limit=1000&utm_campaign=pubmed-2&fc=20230607213154)
 * I previously manually deleted all the duplicates, then somehow the duplicates
   are regenerated over time.

 * Thanks for getting back to me, [@calvinke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/calvinke/)
   I checked on the feed and it appears to be using GUID. Would you please confirm
   if you have the use GUID option enabled on the feed?

 * [@calvinke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/calvinke/) I tested the issue
   and was able to replicate it with the use GUID option disabled. Please test the
   feed source with the use GUID option enabled and let me know. Here’s a guide
