 * I have some fields that have the same name.
 * How do I set Unique Identifier?
 * IF I click on auto-detect I do not care as duplicate.
 * Thanks

 * Hi Ricsca2.
 * The unique identifier should contain an element, or elements, that are unique
   for each record in your file. You can manually drag elements into this field 
   if Auto-Detect isn’t working.

 * If you import posts with the same title, and use a truly *unique* unique identifier,
   this will happen automatically.

 * When you create an article with the same url of wordpress, WordPress automatically
   adds 2 – 3 – 4 etc. at the end dell’ulr.
    How do I get it done even wp all import?

 * You can import posts with the same title and WP All Import will do this automatically.
   But, as I said before, you will need to have some element in your file that has
   a different value for each post and use that as the unique identifier.
 * If you’re having trouble with this, please recreate the issue at [http://www.wpallimport.com/debug/](http://www.wpallimport.com/debug/)
   and send us the URL to your debug site so we can see what’s happening.
