posts repeating
-
My posts are reoccurring in the reader several times ( 7 to be exact ) when I only publish/ post them once.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Howdy!
Just checked out your posts in the reader and only saw them once each:
It’s possible this was just a caching error and after some time it cleared up. If you clear your browser cache and revisit Reader do you still see multiple posts?

So if I go to “Reader” and click on “Blogs I follow” ( I’m following my own blog ), posts are showing up numerous times. Even when I have not updated the blog. What is the browser cache?
-
That’s really odd! I’m only seeing them once as well. The Browser Cache is a stored library of web pages that your browser refers to when loading a page. Occasionally, it will load a cached (old) page rather than a new one. Can you clear your cache as described in these steps?
Also, could you take a screenshot of where you’re seeing the multiple posts and upload it to your Media Library (like you would an image you want to use in a post)? Instructions can be found here:

So I took a screen shot of the duplicate posts and put them in my media library. I tried to follow the steps to clear the cache for safari on my iphone and for Internet explorer on my laptop. I was only able to clear them for my lap top and the problem is still occurring. With my Iphone they ask me to go to the safari menu…I can’t find this. Could there be a reason why only I’m seeing the duplicate posts and not the two of you? When I had only one post it was displayed 7 times. Now that I have three posts, each one is displayed twice. Thanks for the help so far!!

Let’s focus on the laptop for just a second and then we can work on the mobile phone. On your laptop, have you tried logging out of WordPress.com via the sign out link here?

Also, just to confirm, you only see each post published once here:

Correct?

Yes, I have signed out of my username on my laptop. I had to do this after I cleared the cache. Also, yes you are correct; On that screen you sent me, I can only see each post once. However at the top of the screen on that page I hit “Reader” and then “Blogs I Follow” and this is where I see the duplicate posts. It’s only ever when I do these two steps, “Reader” and then, “Blogs I Follow”. I’m assuming “Blogs I Follow” is similar to a facebook feed? For instance, if I were to “share” the same article or picture numerous times on facebook, my followers/friends would see it each time. This is what I’m worried about, that future followers will see my same posts over and over again.

The Blogs I Follow Reader tab displays a list of posts from the blogs you follow. It’s not like a Facebook feed in that posts would appear more than once. They would only appear the number of times the post is actually published to your site (once). It uses something called an RSS feed. Here’s a really zoomed out view of what I see when I’m logged into your account and viewing the Blogs I Follow section:
The posts are appearing only once (sorry – the zoom was the only way I could show this off). Your readers should be seeing this as well.
Can you try one more thing? Can you use another browser on your laptop other than Internet Explorer? Could you try downloading Google Chrome for example? You can find it here:
