This seems to be what most people need (including me, when I wrote the plugin). * Do you have a use case where the body post content is the same, but the titles are different? I’d love to hear more about that use case, so I can consider adding a post content match in future. That is actually on the list for possible future inclusion, but not at a high priority as I haven’t heard a really good use case for that. If you can provide more information, that would be very helpful. * Thanks! * Cheers, Stephen * Thread Starter [auvajs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/auvajs/) * (@auvajs) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-functionality-2/#post-9089772) * Hi Stephan, * in my case I had many personal blogs (20+) on Blogger, I imported all of them into WP and merged them into one “common” blog yesterday. During the process I imported one or two blogs twice by accident so I had some duplicates. I found your plugin and hoped it would find those dupes – actually it found about 100 dupes – but as I soon found out, what it classified as dupes were posts with totally different content but with the same name! (The titles of several of my posts were numbers (like “#1”, “2” etc) – I had those on several blogs. I also had more than 50 posts without a name – all of them were classified as dupes too (!) To sum it up, checking titles only doesn’t help finding dupes, in my opinion. Your plugin doesn’t really find dupes – at least it didn’t in my case. I had to find them manually which took me at least an hour. * Greets, * A. * Plugin Author [Stephen Cronin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stephencronin/) * (@stephencronin) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-functionality-2/#post-9096581) * Hi Auvajs, * Thanks for the explanation! I see what you mean. Maybe I can work something into the plugin to help with this in future, although it obviously won’t help you this time around. * I do have a possible future inclusion of an option to compare the post length when finding duplicates, so I may look at that again more closely. Or of course I could actually compare that the post body is the same. Whatever I do, I need to be careful it doesn’t slow down the query to find the duplicates too much ( it needs to works with large databases etc). Anyway, I’ll see what I can come up with. * Once again, thanks for the explanation, it’s much appreciated and will help improve the plugin, even if it doesn’t help you in this case.
