Duplicate posts from my blog in Reader

  • Unknown's avatar

    I recently noticed that some posts from my blog appear multiple times in the Reader. I don’t know why this happened because I followed the blog once. Is there a way to fix this?

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

    More information that might be helpful:
    1. I only posted them once (each)
    2. they appear multiple times together as if they are recommended (or something)
    3. I posted them recently (in August)

  • Hello there, it would be helpful to share the screenshot of the screen so that we can help further.

    I can get screenshots, but I don’t know how to add them.

  • As specified in the guide, you can either upload to your media library and share the link, or you can use one of the third party services (e.g. https://snag.gy/) and share the link here.

    Take a Screenshot

  • Hi there,

    Along with the screenshots that staff-zara asked you let us know the titles of those posts as well.

    Well, ok. I’ll get to the screenshots later, but the post names are “Comment Challenges 1 and 2” and “Plans for the Rest of 2018”. Both of these posts show up multiple times in my Reader, so do I need to get screeshots of all the appearances or some (but they show up after every few posts, though)?

    Hi @mimy2788,

    I just followed your site to test things out and only see your posts one time. If you could get a screenshot of at least one example that would be great.

    If you’re unable to provide a screenshot, and that’s okay, then could you provide us with details about what page you’re on in the reader? For example, it would be helpful to know if you’re on the main reader page or your site’s main page at:
    https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/49592482

    I’d also be good to know if the duplicates are showing one after another or if the whole feed is repeating.

    Thanks for the additional details and we look forward to helping you solve this.

    Oh, thank you for your help.

    Only two posts appear multiple times, not the whole feed. And that only happens on the main reader, not my blog’s feed.

    I didn’t know there are page numbers, but I’ll check anyway. Wait… When does a page start and end? It’s all fluent (continuous scrolling) with no page sections in between.

    I’ll see what I can do about the screenshots, though.

  • There aren’t page numbers no. The “which page” @bdukes were referring to was whether you’re on the main feed, or your site’s specific feed, and you’ve answered that above – this only happens on the main feed.

    I see both the posts had some edits made after you published them. Did you by any chance unpublish and republish those posts in the process, perhaps editing the date or time of the posts inbetween?

    Those posts only appear once in the feed on our end, but it’s possible that in the process of editing the original posts got replaced in the feed, but now both versions are cached in your browser, so please check if clearing your browser cache makes any difference.

    I had them as published, then made some edits and updated them. I left the original times and dates the same, though. I’ll clear that and let you know if the problem is still there.

    I’ve cleared that a few times after my previous post, bu the problem persists. I’m pretty sure I didn’t unpublish them before editing, though.

  • Please log into your account in a different browser, or using an incognito window in Chrome, and check if you still see the duplicate posts then.

    If not, then the issue might be with browser cookies, rather than the cache, so try completely clearing the cache and cookies this time.

    Like all of them? I don’t want to be logged out of some sites or to have other issues. Anyway, I’ll try those other choices and see what’s up with my Reader…
    Thanks.
