It doesn't work if I use Windows Live Writer

    I write my posts using “Windows Live Writer”, and it upload the entry to “draft”. When I enter the post I don’t get the “duplicate” message unless I change the title and then change it back to the duplicated one.
    It would be useful for Windows Live Writer’s users if it would check the title as soon as you enter the post from draft, and check it again if you change the title (that’s because when you use latin characters like “á” or “?”, when you upload the entry it goes “á” instead “á” and “ñ” instead “?”).
    Thanks.

    Hello Roxer82,

    Yes, this plugin is not validating status for the posts which are in draft. Also when importing posts with draft status from tools like Windows Live Writer it does not validate.

    But if you like to add abilities in this plugin then you just need to make one simple change. I am providing details on how to do:

    1. Open duplicate-title-checker.php from plugin directory.
    2. Go to line number 34 where the query specified
    WHERE post_status = ‘publish’
    3. You can add another status to check here, something like:
    WHERE post_status = ‘publish’ or post_status=’draft’

    I hope it will help.

    Hi Ketanajani, it didn’t work, but I solved it uploading the posts with an extra letter, so, when I delete it from wp-admin, I get the message if the title is or not duplicated.
    This plugin is very very useful.
