  I imported my old blog to wordpress.com and for some reason I have a lot of posts appearing more than once.
  How do I delete the duplicate posts (automatically, not manually, as I have hundreds of posts)?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there. Can you confirm what the original blog was? And into which blog did you import?

  Thanks much!

  Original blow was at Israblog. I used the import tool. My new blog is sageenaor.wordpress.com

  Hello there, I’m paging through your Posts on sageenaor.wordpress.com and so far I do not see duplicates. Could you send me the links to a handful, so I can further investigate? Thanks so much!

  See here an example: https://sageenaor.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?s&post_status=all&post_type=post&action=-1&m=0&cat=0&paged=38&mode=list&action2=-1

  Thank you very much for this link. Could you tell me (since I don’t read Hebrew) if the posts that duplicated have anything in common? For instance, do they all have the same category, or a certain tag, etc.

  On this page, I see 2 different posts that each duplicated three times. Do all the posts with errors have three duplicates?

  Was your old blog at Israblog another WordPress blog? Or was it running on a different platform?

  After the import, did you get an error message? A message that your import was a success?

  Thanks for the extra details. The more information I have, the better I can troubleshoot the issue. Looking forward to hearing from you.
