Title: Duplicate posts Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Duplicate posts * [Bage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bagerathan/) * (@bagerathan) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-posts-16/) * Does this updated version fixes the duplicate post issue? I still have that problem. * Thanks, Bage. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedwordpress/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedwordpress/) Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * [noppresed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/noppresed/) * (@noppresed) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-posts-16/#post-3345825) * Now I’m taking a crack at it and found many duplicate post. I tried to unite feeds by using Google Reader and fetch GR’s feed. But I got the same result. * [epawel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/epawel/) * (@epawel) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-posts-16/#post-3345867) * I also have problem with many duplicate posts * [dmsspb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dmsspb/) * (@dmsspb) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-posts-16/#post-3345872) * many-many duplicated posts… Some identical posts has a different hash, some identical posts has identical hash, but still duplicated (multiple times). FWP 2012.1218 Wordpress 3.5.1 (doesn’t matter, because 3.5 has the problem too) FWP+: Strip HTML Tags from Posts 2010.1105 Ada FeedWordPress Keyword Filters 2012.0521 transposh 0.9.1 (I use custom field in posts tp_language for transposh) auto tag * With previous version of transposh, I didn’t see duplicated posts. May problem be in the transposh? (But on localhost no duplicated posts presented) * Duplicate Posts Remover can’t find duplicated posts. * Settings: auto update 60 min one feed -> one category feed can use tags tags sets automatically by auto tag plugin stip html tags(through additional plugin STRIP HTML) filter showing posts (trough additional plugin ADA) * PS turn off the Auto Tag plugin.

It’s creating way to many duplicate posts and it’s crashing the server. * [dmsspb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dmsspb/) * (@dmsspb) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-posts-16/#post-3345875) * FWP localhost-located has no such problem. (But FWP on localhost has 3 feeds, no more). * [atrus1701](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atrus1701/) * (@atrus1701) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-posts-16/#post-3345878) * I have also been experiencing this with my install of WordPress. I’ve found two workarounds to the problem. Each of these workaround were tested for a couple of days each and I never experienced another duplicate posts. * —– * The first workaround has to do with the guid that is generated and stored along with the post. I found that all of my duplicate posts had only one difference: their guid in the posts table were slightly different. For example: * ``` http://www.testsite.com/example/?guid= https://www.testsite.com/example/?guid= http://example.testsite.com/?guid= https://example.testsite.com/?guid= ``` * In syndicatedpost.class.php: Line 778, change to: * ``` return trailingslashit(get_option('siteurl')).'?guid='; ``` * I’m using the Domain Mapping plugin ([http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/domain-mapping/](http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/domain-mapping/)), so I had to also add the following. * In feedwordpress.php, add: Line 1003 at the beginning of function update, add: * ``` remove_all_filters('pre_option_siteurl'); remove_all_filters('pre_option_home'); ``` * With this workaround, I have noticed in my log file, that feedwordpress repeatedly tries to insert the post, but its never duplicated. * —– * The second workaround, I tried storing the original guid from the rss feed for each post and checked for that guid before inserting any post. * In sydicatedpost.class.php: Line 262, add: * ``` $this->post['meta']['guid'] = $this->post['guid']; ``` * Line 1267, change: * ``` $q = new WP_Query( array( 'ignore_sticky_posts' => true, 'meta_key' => 'guid', 'meta_value' => $guid )); ``` * —– * I’m thinking for my install, I will do a combination of both workarounds, so I have a consistent guid in my posts table, plus feedwordpress won’t constantly be trying to insert already existing posts. * If you have a chance to test these, please let me know if these solutions work for you or not. * Good Luck! * [Morgan Kay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gwendydd/) * (@gwendydd) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-posts-16/#post-3345893) * Thanks, Atrus! I’ve tried this – I’ll let you know in a day or two if it has helped. * One correction, though – I believe that instead of line 262, you meant line 1262. * Thread Starter [Bage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bagerathan/) * (@bagerathan) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-posts-16/#post-3345901) * I have added both workarounds. Will update here on the outcomes later. * [Virendra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/virendrachandak/) * (@virendrachandak) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-posts-16/#post-3345905) * I have added both the workarounds. Hopefully now my duplicate posts issue is resolved. * [Virendra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/virendrachandak/) * (@virendrachandak) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-posts-16/#post-3345907) * I have added both the workarounds, but it seems I am still getting duplicate posts. Will try to debug and post if I have any updates. * [arterynyc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arterynyc/) * (@arterynyc) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-posts-16/#post-3345908) * Those fixes actually made my problem worse. I have noticed that publishing immediately is much better than having it save a draft. I have been able to successfully maintain 7 feeds through feedwordpress. * [dEM0nsTAr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dem0nstar/) * (@dem0nstar) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-posts-16/#post-3345910) * Is there a better fix for this available already? * Thread Starter [Bage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bagerathan/) * (@bagerathan) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-posts-16/#post-3345911) * so far, there is no fix for this duplication post. * [dEM0nsTAr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dem0nstar/) * (@dem0nstar) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-posts-16/#post-3345912) * Okay, then I hope it gets resolved with the next update Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) The topic ‘Duplicate posts’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/feedwordpress_a6a79a.svg) * [FeedWordPress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/feedwordpress/) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/feedwordpress/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/feedwordpress/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/feedwordpress/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/feedwordpress/reviews/) * 14 replies * 9 participants * Last reply from: [dEM0nsTAr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dem0nstar/) * Last activity: [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-posts-16/#post-3345912) * Status: not resolved
