Title: Multiple Posts Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Multiple Posts * [daverage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daverage/) * (@daverage) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-6/) * Hi * I have been using this plugin for a while, but over the last few weeks I have noticed a lot of duplicate posting (up to 7 for one article). * I removed and replaced, then removed and installed the beta – but am still getting the same results. * In the meta posts table, they seem to only be in there once, so it is not a case of the same article having multiple URLS. * Any thoughts on why this may be happening? * Thanks * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rss-multi-importer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rss-multi-importer/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 22 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-6/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-6/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-6/#post-5127340) * what is the rss feed where you have multiple posts? * Thread Starter [daverage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daverage/) * (@daverage) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-6/#post-5127356) * Hi. The feed is [http://gamified.co.uk/full-rss/makefulltextfeed.php?url=getpocket.com%2Fusers%2Fdaverage%2Ffeed%2Fall&max=5&links=preserve&exc=1&Filter=gamification&_id=a1e8fcbb24ab1b3c55b551b2f499df7f&_render=rss](http://gamified.co.uk/full-rss/makefulltextfeed.php?url=getpocket.com%2Fusers%2Fdaverage%2Ffeed%2Fall&max=5&links=preserve&exc=1&Filter=gamification&_id=a1e8fcbb24ab1b3c55b551b2f499df7f&_render=rss) * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-6/#post-5127359) * ok..I’ll test this out with the beta (since that’s the only version I’m working on) and see what’s going on. Are you on a slow server or anything that would make querying the database a problem (because that is the most likely issue since the link is the database but it doesn’t appear the query is finding the link) * Thread Starter [daverage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daverage/) * (@daverage) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-6/#post-5127365) * No, server is fine. Was working up until very recently (when you removed the check against article titles). * Set to check every 20 mins and pull out the top 5 articles. I update the rss feed maybe 10 or 15 times a day (it is linked to my pocket read later stream) * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-6/#post-5127369) * the title check was pulled for technical reasons but i’ll try putting date check to see if that helps…may be able to get a fix later today or tomorrow. * Thread Starter [daverage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daverage/) * (@daverage) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-6/#post-5127403) * Thanks. * It seems that it is not putting rssmi_source_link into the postmeta each time it finds new items. * Actually looking at one now where there are 2 entries for it as posts, but no rssmi_source_link entry yet. * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-6/#post-5127406) * if there is no rssmi_source_link, then that may be caused by that feed not having a permalink…I’m not sure if simplepie, that reads the feeds, will default to a link tag if there is no permalink. Something I’ll look at when I get a chance. * Thread Starter [daverage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daverage/) * (@daverage) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-6/#post-5127407) * Possible, though it does seem to put one in eventually. either way, good luck 🙂 * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-6/#post-5127467) * just tried to reproduce the problem, using your feed, but as you can see here( a view of the database) * [http://www.screencast.com/t/b2PfE5P7f](http://www.screencast.com/t/b2PfE5P7f) * the rssmi_source_link is entered as it should. I’m using the beta version of the plugin for this, but the results shouldn’t vary. When I can’t reproduce the problem (and don’t hear from other people that they have the same problem), I can only assume it’s another plugin on your server that might be interfering. Did you try deactivating other plugins and see if the problem remains? * Thread Starter [daverage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daverage/) * (@daverage) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-6/#post-5127488) * I did, but can try again! Very strange. Also investigating if it is picking up short urls from some feeds that don’t match the permalink * [projectpaki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/projectpaki/) * (@projectpaki) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-6/#post-5127523) * I am having this same issue and if you don’t expound on what you mean about a unique URL I will continue to have this issue. Just explain what you mean. When I post to a news category and it goes into my feed, then the plugin grabs it how is it changing MY url, which is unique? * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-6/#post-5127524) * the only thing the plugin does to your URL is trim (get rid of leading and end spaces) then escape the url using esc_url so it can go into a database. When the URL comes in again from a post, it is escaped, trimmed and then checked against the database. It is not “changing your URL” except for escaping it. * [projectpaki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/projectpaki/) * (@projectpaki) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-6/#post-5127526) * What do I need to fix in the settings to get rid of this and have it function correctly? It should not be submitting the same articles over and over and over. I have NO idea what I am supposed to do. I don’t SEE where I can fix this. Your explanations are vague and all I am asking is that you break it down where I can fix it. * Thread Starter [daverage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daverage/) * (@daverage) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-6/#post-5127527) * Out of interest, is there any chance you would add the check page title code as an option? It would solve my issue instantly (I know there was a technical/ performance issue). * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-posts-6/#post-5127528) * a unique url is one that is different from any other url. If you read the FAQs for this plugin, you will see how the plugin works to check the URLs: * [http://www.wprssimporter.com/faqs/im-getting-double-posts-with-the-feed-to-post/](http://www.wprssimporter.com/faqs/im-getting-double-posts-with-the-feed-to-post/) * If you read this, you will see that the plugin checks the url of the post against the database. * My suggestion is if you can’t get my plugin to work you might try using another plugin to see if it works better.
