# Duplicate post problems

 * I have just imported 3,924 individual posts (no duplicates) into a new and empty
   WP install. But I have ended up with 4,130 posts, many duplicates but also many
   missing posts.
 * I did the import in 4 batches, of about 1,000 each.
 * Status reports included:
    1: I did not check for duplicate posts, and did not
   record the report.
 * 2:
    16 records are successfully Imported.993 duplicate records found. Post count
   increased by 1,002, from a batch containing 999 posts.
 * 3:
    83 records are successfully Imported.917 duplicate records found. Post count
   increased by 1,296 posts, from a batch containing 999 posts.
 * 4:
    I forgot to check for duplicate posts. The final import of 986 posts increased
   my post count by only 806.
 * I do seem to have many duplicated posts, but none were duplicated in the csv 
   files.
    I also seem to have at least 180 missing posts, from the last batch alone.
 * I am not sure what is happening. Any ideas ?

 * Can you add a sample csv? No such issues are reported. Add more details for support.
