 * Serious bug:
 * I use multisite where multiple pages are cloned having the same ID on different
   sites. Example:
 * Site 1: Page 1 (ID 2500)
    Site 2: Page 2 (ID 2500) Site 3: Page 3 (ID 2500)
 * My action:
 * On Site 1, on Page 1
 * Duplicated post status: Draft
    Title prefix for new post: Copy Site (s) you want
   to duplicate to: -Site 2 -Site 3
 * In the different sites the copy was generated.
 * Copy of Page 1
 * However the original page (Page 2, Page 3) of each site was overwritten!
    Losing
   the original work!

 * I’ll look into this Henry. Thanks. I, for the life of me, can’t think of any 
   mechanism in the plugin that would cause this to happy. Source IDs are not passed
   to the destination at all. I’ll investigate but any further info you can provide
   would really help. Did the posts have MPD links attached to them for example?

 * Hi,
 * Sorry for the delay. I do not use MPD links. I believe that this phenomenon can
   occur whenever there are pages in the destination site with the same ID.

 * Nothing to do with that I’m afraid Henry. The ID field on the wp_post table is
   an auto increment field so adding a post will ALWAYS create an new ID on the 
   destination site. You say in your original post that you are have mirrored the
   ID for each site? How on earth are you managing this and why? Just looking for
   a clue on your bug 🙂
