    I moved from wordpress to another blogging site and then moved back to wordpress. Throughout the migration process, when I take import and exports, when I checked the final, I see that some of my posts are duplicated and the only difference is the 24 hour format posting date. Is there a way to delete all these posts whose bodies are the same but differ only in posting date by a script or sthg? (I am talking about hundreds of posts like this)

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

    Hi there,

    I don’t see a way to delete duplicate posts automatically that have different publish dates. However, you can bulk delete posts at https://stackoverflow1453.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php

    You’ll have to identify the posts and manually select the posts and bulk delete it.
    This will move your posts to Trash. After 30days all your posts will be deleted permanently. If you want to clear your trash, you can do it instantly by emptying trash.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi, If you would like to request Staff to empty out your site so that you can import again, just add a MODLOOK tag to the Tags section of this forum thread sidebar. Cheers
