If you publish several paragraphs, will it repeat all paragraphs? So in a nutshell, you have 2 identical posts on the same page? Or is it repeating only the beginning of text?
Not sure if it’s a bug or by design. Looking at parent theme Specia, it also includes this similar feature. Sometimes, excerpt is used in the beginning of the post as a summary to help readers understand what the article is about. It’s possible it’s that. Although it is also possible it’s a bug, if the whole post content is repeated.

Response was sent to spam filter. Sorry about the delay. Anything I post will be repeated, including embedded clips and images. So, as you said, I wind up with 2 identical posts on the same page.
OK, 2 questions:
1. Is your parent theme (Specia 2.2.5) and child theme (Proficient 1.1.8) up to date?
2. Any custom modifications added to Proficient? or Specia?
I setup temporary test site (will be deleted in 7 days), and setup Proficient. It appears that everything is working as expected. Here’s an example:

If your parent and child themes are up to date, and they do not have any custom modifications, then it’s possible that a plugin is causing this issue. You can test it by disabling plugins one by one and checking to see if duplicate content goes away.

Thanks for the help. Everything was up to date. I also tried turning off the plugins one by one, but that didn’t work. I eventually just paid someone on fiverr to fix it. He didn’t tell me what was causing it, but I can’t complain with a $5 fix 🙂
