 * If he created two posts with the same title and I use separator – in the title
   he doesn’t recognize the duplicate post title, but if I create title without 
   separator example: – he works fine, how do I make this plugin recognize post 
   title also with separator?

   where your plugin doesn’t work: My Crazy Dog – Rocket Dog

 * Normal separator line like this – it works recognizes post title, but if I put
   that long same but longer separator line this – but longer it fails to recognize
   post title

 * Hello [@bobbycash](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobbycash/)
 * Thank you for reporting this, so it seems that the longer separator breaks the
   comparison, I will have to dive a little deeper into this in the next release–
   not sure why it will not recognize duplicate titles with the longer separator.

 * i also don’t understand, i hope you can solve this soon, your plugin is very 
   important, thanks for creating it, i hope i can delete posts with same titles
   doubled soon those with long separator… anyway check if other separators work
   please, so we are sure everything works fine 🙂

 * Hi, sorry the plugin also works with the long separator, I got confused the post
   was with short not long for this it did not delete, now or tested in fact if 
   I put long separator and can recognize everything works, and perfect sorry for
   mistake
