Repeating posts

actually, you’ll see in the code of the beta that it checks both the title and the permalink…it does not add any numbers to the end of the permalink.

The posts that have same contents have different url. The difference is the number in url. Here is an example.

How to fix this problem?

those all have the same title…you can fix this by finding this line in import_posts.php

if ((empty( $mypostids ) && $mypostids !== false) && empty($myposttitle) ){

and changing it to

if (empty( $mypostids ) && $mypostids !== false){

this will handle this one feed, but will result in you getting duplicates in other feeds.

the best way to solve this problem is make sure the titles are unique.

I didn’t understand.

The RSS feed I want to import is https://analyticsandvisualization.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/R
All the titles are unique.
The example I gave above is to show that the plugin imports duplicate posts to my website, hence duplicate titles appear in my website.

What did you mean “this will handle this one feed, but will result in you getting duplicates in other feeds. the best way to solve this problem is make sure the titles are unique.” ?

the plugin checks the permalink of the posts, but that feed doesn’t have a permalink…so i would change it to

if (empty($myposttitle)){

I said it would handle this one feed, because this feed is unique and not using the same standards of most of the other rss or atom feeds on the web.

I have a similar problem.
I pull 4 feeds to one page but only one of them is repeating over and over.

the Puma news feed is ruining what would otherwise be a perfect experience with this plugin. I’ve already voted 5 stars but I’d be super impressed if you can assist me with this.

i can see that the duplicates are due to 2 items having the same title but different permalinks. This is a problem with that feed (the items should have unique urls).

Thank you
