# WordPress Import/Export duplicated items in database

 * Having a slight issue which may be server side. When using the default wordpress
   import it appears to be duplicating meta data(keys,id’s, etc) in my database.
   Is this an issue with wordpress’ core functions or is this something that should
   be handle by my admin. I only have this issue when doing a direct database querystr.
   to pull posts that are the most popular and most shared. Any help with this would
   be greatly appreciated.

 * I would add that the posts themselves are not duplicated.
