 * I have a problem similar to the one in this post
 * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-importer-post-already-exists-how-to-disable-duplicate-check?replies=5](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-importer-post-already-exists-how-to-disable-duplicate-check?replies=5)
 * with a blog that has over 10,000 entries (www.comicsbeat.com). My developer imported
   all the posts from the old site by hand because the old database was modified.
   I think about 95% of the site was imported but there were some that did not get
   included because of duplicate post IDs.
 * However, rather than re-import them all as in the above post, I would like to
   simply find the duplicate posts and reimport them separately. I’m guessing there
   is a way to compare databases. Any ideas on how to do this?
