 * Occasionally the plugin will create multiple entries of a post. For example within
   a single minute the plugin created three copies is this post.
 * (These are the URLs from the three posts that are shown in the UI).

 * What can be done to make it so that the plugin checks to see if the post already
   exists and if it does don’t create it.
 * I have these posts marked as drafts (two of them) so I can pull the database 
   records if needed so you can see them.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fduplicate-posts-being-created-by-plugin%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I’ve been using both these plugins on massive aggregated news sites with some
   satisfaction:
 * – FeedWordPress Duplicate Post Filter: [https://fr-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/feedwordpress-duplicate-post-filter/](https://fr-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/feedwordpress-duplicate-post-filter/)
   –
   Delete Duplicate Posts: [https://fr-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/delete-duplicate-posts/](https://fr-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/delete-duplicate-posts/)
 * The first one works with FeedWordPress and will prevent most duplicates.
 * The second one will eventually catch those duplicates that slip through the first
   one. The free version is flexible enough and you can synchronise it with the 
   FeedWordPress update schedule. The worst that could happen is some duplicate 
   that will be visible for some time (between two consecutive updates).

 * Hi [@mrdenny](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrdenny/). I have the same 
   problem. Did you get any solution?
