    Duplicate RSS Posts

    Hi I have a number of RSS feeds set up

    Some news feeds from the BBC.
    Other feeds are from other forums within my site.

    I always seem to get at least one duplicate post.

    I have read some other similar posts and it always seems to be put down to a 'plugin'

    Any reason this should be happening?

    This can happen for many reasons but the most common ones are a plugin that interferes with the RSS Poster or a problem with the RSS Feed itself.

      This occurs when articles are edited (updated) by some publishers. When an article is updated it gets recognized as a new article even though the title and link to its content remain the same. I'm guessing if time stamp on the article is changed it's not recognized as a duplicate.

        That sounds reasonable yes.
