 * Hi, we use another plugin to post articles from a rss feed and that plugin went
   crazy and posted 100s of duplicates. But your plugin then posted those 100s of
   duplicates to social media. Just spent ages deleting posts on our blog and different
   social medias.
 * Shouldn’t your plugin have caught this? Is there any duplicate posts prevention?
 * Thanks

   Hello,
 * It sounds like the plugin you’re using to post articles from an RSS feed may 
   be treating each post as new, which is causing all posts to be published to social
   media. To prevent this from happening, you can disable the “Auto publish on creating
   posts/pages/custom post types” option in the plugin’s settings. Additionally,
   you can use the options to select specific WordPress custom post types and post
   categories for auto-publishing, which will help filter the posts for auto-publish
   based on your criteria.
   Thanks and Regards,Aiswarya
