Posts are being published twice

    Every time we publish a new post, several hours later, the same post is published again, in a truncated version — and triggering a second notification email to all our subscribers. I also turned off our connection to Facebook, but these posts are getting sent there as well. I have since set it as private, so I have it for reference.

    Here’s an example of the truncated post from yesterday:

    Mother’s Day 2013 – My mother passed away 11 months ago, so this is the first Mother’s Day I am spending without her in my life. I miss her so much. Growing up, but especially during my younger adult years, I had my share of grievances against my mother. Over the years, I occasionally confronted her with some of [] http://ow.ly/2wPgsf”

  • It looks like you’re using Hootsuite to maybe auto-publish your Tweets to your blog, and you have Publicize set to automatically post your blog posts to Twitter.

    When Publicize sends your new post to Twitter, Hootsuite re-posts it to your blog.

    I recommend checking with Hottsuite on this.

    I have a similar problem but I am not using Hootsuite. When I post to my blog, I get 2 tweets exactly the same in my sidebar. This only happens with blog posts – if I tweet directly from Twitter, the tweet appears only once.

    My blog is gelfandgazette.wordpress.com

    Thanks.

  • That’s quite different. The second Tweet is coming from Facebook, which is sending things you post on Facebook to Twitter. When you publish a post, it’s being Publicized to both Twitter and Facebook, which then sends the new Facebook post to Twitter, hence the double tweet.
