 * I tried using this with the Duplicate Post plugin. So I am cloning a post, changing
   some content and publishing the post. The titles are the same. After publishing
   the cloned page, I expected that this plugin would remove the original post, 
   but both posts were still there.

 * to work you just have to change the variable $wpduplicate to $wpdb
    and it works!!!
   i add to at the end of the request “WHERE post_type=’post’ to be sure it delete
   just the article (not other custom post type) best regards Amba

 * Thank you for your response, AMBA. I am now using Duplicate Posts Remover which
   does a good job of finding duplicate posts. At this point, even assuming your
   fix works, I am not comfortable with having posts deleted “automatically.” I 
   want to be able to see what is going to be deleted before the fact. 😉
