    I installed the plugin to test it. I create a form and submitted a filled form. When I tried submitting another form I go “Error: Duplicate post title. Please try again.” I deleted the first page that was created and checked the box with “Require submitted post titles to be unique” but I still get the same error.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Have you looked thru the plugin settings? I ask because there is a setting that disables the unique-post-title check, it’s called “Unique Titles”. Give that a try and see if it works for you.

    Yes. I have tried it with and without it checked and it still produces an error because it says it can’t make duplicate posts.

    The issue still is not resolved on the site ndlela.tv/clothes-project. I am still getting the error. I tried it on another site https://www.ibrahimbaba.org/clothes-project/clothes-project-form/ and this time it worked with exactly the same settings. I don’t know why. The only difference is that for the first site I did a test before I clicked the “unique” checkbox.

    PS is there a way to uploaded image instead of the thumbnail of the image? Or can I change the size in CSS so that a thumbnail is not used?

    Normally the “unique” setting works as advertised, as you have seen with your other site. So for any site where it is not working, the only real way of finding the issue is to do some basic troubleshooting of your plugins and theme. If it would help, I would be glad to send a free WP troubleshooting guide.
