Duplicate posts displaying in feed

Hi @myntillae,

You have two posts on your site with the exact same title and mostly the same content:

• This reply was modified 2 hours, 8 minutes ago by Hector Cabrera. Reason: Added screenshot
• This reply was modified 2 hours, 7 minutes ago by Hector Cabrera. Reason: Reworded for clarity

Oh, I didn’t realize that (as I think my client must’ve duplicated and recycled that post). We have the settings set to only show recent posts, so do you know why it would be displaying that post in the feed? This is our shortcode: [wpp limit=10 range=’custom’ time_quantity=1  freshness=0 stats_views=0 stats_author=1]

It’s this:

freshness=0

0 here means false or disabled.

From the documentation:

freshness

Tells WordPress Popular Posts to retrieve the most popular entries published within the time range specified by you

Possible values: 1 (true), 0 (false)

You want to use 1 instead.

That aside, having two articles with the same title and mostly the same content isn’t a great idea:

• It’ll confuse readers (and even you, this very thread is living proof of that haha)
• It’s not good for SEO, search engines like Google generally don’t like that kind of stuff

You / your client might want to consider removing one of them from the site.

Since the mystery has been resolved I’m marking this topic as such. If you have any further comments / questions please let me know.
