   I am trying to troubleshoot a persistent problem with duplication of posts being imported from a few sources. I'm using FeedWordpress. One of my importing feeds, I've noticed, has no guid value for the items in the feed. I was wondering if this is the source of my problem. What does WordPress do if the importing feed has no guid of it's own?

   I think (from what I can see in query results) that a local guid is generated and used in the wp_posts table. But the duplication results in two of them, one with a friendly URL (http://www.{my domain}.com/{year}/{month}/{friendly-title-looks-like-slug}/), and the other with a querystring (http://www.{my domain}.com/?p={postID}).

   What's going on here?

   Try the delete duplicates option

   Thanks, but that doesn't help me. I'm looking for a permanent solution so there won't be any duplicates in the future. I'm working on a large scale web site, and the need to have someone constantly monitor it for duplicates is unacceptable. If I understand what's going on, I can come up with a solution.
