well, read this
http://www.wprssimporter.com/faqs/im-getting-double-posts-with-the-feed-to-post/
and if you still have problems, look for a plugin that deletes multiple posts (they exist).
Alright, well thanks for that info and for your help with this.

Hey Allen, thanks for sending that over. You have to to excuse me as I’m not that experienced with doing stuff like this. Where would I paste this file?
It’s been happening a lot today. In fact one feed has posted the same post 4 times in a row now, and a different feed has sent the same post 3 times in a row now.
Cheers.

what you do go into the plugin files, find the import_posts.php file and delete it, the paste the new file contents there and hit save.
Here is short movie that shows how to get to the step to delete it

So, I watched that video. Thanks for that by the way.
And I just wanted to clarify, I select the whole file and replace it with the one you sent in the drop box?

Yes. Just delete the contents in the box (don’t save) and paste in that box the contents if the Dropbox file. Now save.
Okay, thanks.
I just did the switch now so I guess we’ll see ow it goes.
Thanks again!
Hey Allen,
I’m actually wondering if it’s even working any more now.
I haven’t had a post come through in over an hour now which is quite odd. Especially since I’ve seen posts from the feeds that I’m using.

well, are there new posts in the feeds? You need to be sure there are new posts, else the plugin won’t bring in posts it already knows about. Also, looking at your feeds, they haven’t been updated in a few hours.
Yeah, I’ve gone a checked a couple of the feeds and there are posts there that haven’t come through.

Well I’m out of ideas then. That version checks 2 times to make sure there is not a post there. What I would do is go into the plugin admin, click the tab for manage posts, delete all posts and start again.
Is there a way I can switch it back to what it was before so it’s at least working again?
I normally have a couple posts come through every 10 minutes and nothing has come through for over two hours now. I’ve checked a few more feeds and they all have stuff that should have come though.

sure, here is the original file that will bring in duplicates

Thanks, I reinstalled that file and it’s working again. I’ve had posts come through every tens minutes as usual.
Is it possible that the other file wasn’t working because of the way I have something configured? It’s almost like it thought it had already received everything being sent out.
Maybe there’s a glitch of some sort in my plugin?
