 * Hi again. I’m currently using the latest version of the plugin.
    I noticed that
   the plugin will generate duplicate posts sometimes regardless of the feeds. It
   doesn’t happen all the time but when it happens, it happens to all the feeds.

 * I deleted the feed and made a new one, after that it was OK.

 * everything about how the plugin tries to deal with duplicate items and posts 
   is here

 * the main thing I know about this problem is that either feed doesn’t have a unique
   link and/or the server that site is one is having troubles making a database 
   connection.
 * In any event, I’ve done everything I know of to eliminate this problem.

 * Alright, thanks! 🙂
 * On another matter, I’m currently testing the plugin on localhost. I found that
   when I turned off the computer and on next time, some feeds (just some, not all)
   will not be updated despite having new feeds. Noted that I have visited the site
   just to trigger the cron job. I have also set the number of feeds to fetch settings
   correctly according to instructions.
 * I have to manually fetch those feeds (that are not updated as per mentioned),
   then only will it trigger the feeds to update for every 10 minutes.
 * May I know what is the problem behind this?
