FeedWordPress Duplicate Post Filter

A FeedWordPress syndicated post filter that checks for duplicates before posting items from your feeds.

Download Version 1.3

This is a filter for the FeedWordPress plugin. If you don't use FeedWordPress this plugin will not be useful to you.

I wrote this filter after seeing the same post in my database 32 times. Maybe you've had the same problem, and I hope this filter helps you solve it.

The filter works by hooking the "syndicated_post" action of FeedWordPress.

For each potential post, the filter compares the (escaped) post title, and either the post guid, or the year-month-day (e.g., 2008-04-12) of the post_date_gmt attributes. If it finds a match of both the title and either the guid or date, it tells FeedWordPress to skip that potential post. Otherwise, it tells FeedWordPress to continue processing it however you have syndication set up on your blog.
