Title: [Plugin: FeedWordPress] Repeat posts on every update Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: FeedWordPress] Repeat posts on every update * [Zepfanman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zepfanman/) * (@zepfanman) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-feedwordpress-repeat-posts-on-every-update/) * Approximately since I upgraded to WP 3.1.3 a couple days ago, Feedwordpress 2011.0512 has been importing the same posts from all of my feeds over and over again every time it updates. It is not recognizing that posts have already been created. What are the best diagnostic options to check to see what’s going on? * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedwordpress/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedwordpress/) Viewing 15 replies - 31 through 45 (of 45 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-feedwordpress-repeat-posts-on-every-update/page/2/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-feedwordpress-repeat-posts-on-every-update/?output_format=md) [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-feedwordpress-repeat-posts-on-every-update/page/2/?output_format=md) 3 * [jimmytortuga](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jimmytortuga/) * (@jimmytortuga) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-feedwordpress-repeat-posts-on-every-update/page/3/#post-2105394) * Don´t know if this helps: in my case the problem stopped when I did not empty my recycle bin. That is; I deleted the repeat posts (which I set to show as “ pending” until I approved them), and then **just left them** in the recycle bin. The moment I empty the recycle bin, the repeat posts appear again as “pending”. * [divadwg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/divadwg/) * (@divadwg) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-feedwordpress-repeat-posts-on-every-update/page/3/#post-2105395) * Hi, I wonder if this helps diagnose what’s going on further. I managed to fix the dupes problem but then noticed a slowdown which turned out to be that duplicates of syndication_item_hash (different values) were added every time, and very occasionally duplicates of syndication_permalink (identical values) were added. I can;t do anything with my site at the moment without continuously deleting aggregated items, so any help much appreciated. * WordPress: 3.2.1 FeedWordPress: 2011.0721 * [kaotik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kaotik/) * (@kaotik) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-feedwordpress-repeat-posts-on-every-update/page/3/#post-2105403) * I reverted back to the previous version. No more dupes. Wondering if this developer has abandoned the plugin? * [lover-00](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lover-00/) * (@lover-00) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-feedwordpress-repeat-posts-on-every-update/page/3/#post-2105404) * After updating to FeedWordPress: 2011.10.18 gives an error “WP HTTP Error :…” Back to the previous version FeedWordPress: 2011.0721 * Plugin Author [C.

Then updated feedwordpress. I connect in any business RSS address and fails. I have just done it.

That was helpful. * Quick question: are you attempting to use HTTP Digest authentication? (Or any other authentication-related feature?) * [lover-00](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lover-00/) * (@lover-00) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-feedwordpress-repeat-posts-on-every-update/page/3/#post-2105408) * Plugin settings by default. FeedWordPress: 2011.0721 with these settings works perfectly. A new plugin no RSS feeds from any site. Shows this error. * Plugin Author [C. Johnson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/radgeek/) * (@radgeek) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-feedwordpress-repeat-posts-on-every-update/page/3/#post-2105409) * OK, thanks. I think I know where the problem is, but I need confirmation from someone whose system has the configuration that’s causing this error. If you’d be willing to do a quick experiment for me, I may be able to put a fix out first thing tomorrow morning. * Here’s the experiment: after the upgrade, there should be a new file in your wp-content/plugins/feedwordpress directory, called feedwordpresshttpauthenticator. class.php. If you can bring up that file in an editor and find the following method (should be at line #41): * function digest_dont ($use, $args) { if ($this->need_curl($args)) : $use = false; endif; return false; } /* FeedWordPerssHTTPAuthenticator::digest_dont ()*/ * Then try changing the final line from this: * return false; * To this: * return $use; * Save the file, re-upload to your wp-content/plugins/feedwordpress directory, and try fetching RSS feeds again. If it fixes your problem, I’ll incorporate the fix into an incremental release for tomorrow morning. * -C * [lover-00](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lover-00/) * (@lover-00) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-feedwordpress-repeat-posts-on-every-update/page/3/#post-2105410) * Made on your instructions and the error disappeared. Feeds are updated well. * Plugin Author [C.

I also got confirmation of the issue from a couple of users in a similar situation, so I went ahead and rolled out a fix win today’s incremental release: * [http://feedwordpress.radgeek.com/2011/10/19/feedwordpress-2011-1019/](http://feedwordpress.radgeek.com/2011/10/19/feedwordpress-2011-1019/) * [itrigga](https://wordpress.org/support/users/itrigga/) * (@itrigga) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-feedwordpress-repeat-posts-on-every-update/page/3/#post-2105415) * Hi, * I’m using WordPress 3.3, and I’ve upgraded to feedwordpress-2011-1019 , and I’m still getting duplicate posts on every update. I’m not using HTTP auth, but the feeds are using the tag URI scheme for GUIDs * Al * [itrigga](https://wordpress.org/support/users/itrigga/) * (@itrigga) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-feedwordpress-repeat-posts-on-every-update/page/3/#post-2105416) * Update: * I’ve isolated the duplicate posts issue to some kind of interaction with the YD Domain Mapping plugin. We’re using this so that we can map arbitrary domains to our network sites. * E.g. 1. our WordPress Network is set up as wp-network.foo.com, on a subdomain setup 2. a network site ‘bar’ would then be bar.wp-network.foo.com 3. we setup the feedwordpress plugin to pull in posts from a tag:uri feed 4. we get unique posts in, with GUIDs of the form bar.wp-network.foo.com?guid=( some guid) * All well and good. BUT, then we use the domain mapping plugin to map blog.bar. com to that network site… * It seems that when we hit a network site on its mapped domain (blog.bar.com), it instantly duplicates the syndicated posts with guids of the form blog.bar. com?guid=(the same guid) * I set up 2 identical blogs, subscribed them both to the same feed, and applied a domain mapping to one but not the other. All was fine until I hit the blog homepage on the new mapped domain- at which point all the posts got replicated with mapped domain GUIDs as above. * So I don’t know if this is an issue with FeedWordPress or with the YD Domain Mapping plugin, but they definitely don’t seem to play nicely with each other. * Hope this helps! * Al * [frmars](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frmars/) * (@frmars) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-feedwordpress-repeat-posts-on-every-update/page/3/#post-2105417) * Still have a random number of duplicates using Feedwordpress. * I’ve tested my site feed alone, in a news reader. And it does contain duplicates. Which means that the feed itself is cr[a]ppy. * How come WP gives such a strangely bad feed ? Or is it just normal ? * Question is : is your plugin really responsible or is it just bad feed conception from the start ? * [I use the latest versions of WP and of plugin] * By the way, is there a difference between : • mysite/feed and • mysite/?feed =rss2 * They seem to give different results according to “whothef*ck knows” why ? * [ashish.pinetree](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashishpinetree/) * (@ashishpinetree) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-feedwordpress-repeat-posts-on-every-update/page/3/#post-2105419) * I am facing the same problem with a number of my sites. Feedwordpress is importing duplicate posts from the feed. I installed Filter plugin for Duplicate posts but it doesn’t work. * Any other suggestions?
