   Hi,

   Wpomatic has an issue with fetching duplicate posts. There was a great fix for that, that worked great in older versions of Wordpress.

   Here's the link to that fix:

   http://linuxil.wordpress.com/2008/02/24/wp-o-matic-quick-dirty-duplicate-post-fix/

   Unfortunately, I can't find the corresponding line of code in wordpress 2.8's post.php file. Any idea where to put that "return 0;"? Would that still fix the problem?

   A new version has been promised for months but the release date keeps getting pushed back. For now, I really need this fix to work.

   Look at line 1750

   Hope this works for you.

   This isn't working for me...

   Can someone just post a couple of lines from that area to show, what it should look like?

   Thanks in advance and I appreciate it...

   I found it.

   There are 3 lines you need to change.

   -1750
   -1766
   -1780

   In these lines you should remove the suffix and add return 0;

   Cheers

   Ugh -- this doesn't seem to work for me -- is it working for other people? All you do is remove the suffix = 2 line and replace it with return 0;, right?

   Benjiw: Wasn't working for me either. I am so tired of waiting for an update to this plugin, I know my client is too. No updates to the twitter profile since June 12th, nothing new at the website. Home page link on Wordpress is broken.

   Anyone have a good recommendation for another similar plugin?

    did you delete all the rows at phpmyadmin >>> YOURDATABASE >>> wp_wpo_campaign_post >>> Browse ?

    And if so then did it work? i mean did it solve the duplicate posting issue? Please do let me know cuz I'm experiencing the same issue.

    I Have Wordpress 2.8, and WPOMATIC. The Editing was done on wp-includes/post.php

    Heres the deal, So Far I have Tried The Following Methods:-

    1. As tacomamama mentioned

    "Unfortunately, I can't find the corresponding line of code in wordpress 2.8's post.php file. Any idea where to put that "return 0;"? Would that still fix the problem?"

    and i did and i replaced return 0; with $suffix = 2; at Line 1750 as Pointed out by "Nexton"

    Result: FAILED! didn't work
    ---------------------------

    2. Then as suggested by Nexton (which is as follows)

    "I found it.

    There are 3 lines you need to change.

    -1750
    -1766
    -1780

    In these lines you should remove the suffix and add return 0;
    Cheers"

    So i replaced return 0; with $suffix = 2; on all the lines mentioned above.

    Result: FAILED! didn't work
    ----------------------------------

    3. I even tried as mentioned by mrmidjam in their post:-

    "ok used myphpadmin and deleted all rows in "wp_wpo_campaign_post" and i can now post"

    I deleted ALL the rows at phpmyadmin >>> YOURDATABASE >>> wp_wpo_campaign_post >>> Browse

    Result: FAILED! didn't work
    -----------------------------
    I just thought i would share my results with the world since non of them work so if anyone stumbles upon a solution that actually works please do let me know at L053r1 at gmail dot com

    cheers
    Peace

    Has anyone found a way to stop matic to prevent duplicates?
    Thanks in advance and I appreciate it...

    yes none of these fixes work for the latest version 2.9.2 of wordpress?

    the developer has been promising the new version will be released in a few days for months now.

    any fix for the duplicate post in the current wpomatic is greatly appreciated.

    I found a plugin that works. It's called ClearDuplicatePosts_V0.1 email me at westweb1 at gmail.com. Tested up to 2.7.

    This is a great plugin, but it's doing the duplicate post thing in my 2.7.1. install.

    I think the author should fix this, but to be fair, WP keeps churning out releases so frequently that I think it's hard for authors to keep up and make sure that their plugins work with latest releases.

    I would like to see the double posting thing fixed as well. I was hoping that these newer release candidates would fix the problem.

    I'm glad I found this discussion! I've been building my blog by mainly following a .pdf tutorial that insisted I should have this plugin. Now I know to hold off. A shame, though.

    It's unfortunate that the new WordPress releases tend to have such dramatic overall changes where plugins are concerned.

    Anyway, thanks for the warning, everyone.

    I just came across an interesting discussion on Warrior Forum concerning possible alternatives to WP-O-Matic:

    I hope it's okay to make the referral, since it's completely relevant to what's going on here, but of much more current content.
