Repeat posts?
-
I went back to edit some posts and suddenly they all have duplicates. Is there a way to fix this issue? Thank you.
-
Hi there, please could you share the URL of your site so we.can point you.in the right direction of getting support? Thanks!

I see what you mean, that’s really odd. All posts up to the most recent one are showing with identical duplicates on the homepage, which go to the same URL.
Perhaps go to My Site > Design > Customiser > Homepage Settings, change it to ‘A static page’, click ‘Save changes’, refresh your site and then revert it back to ‘A recent posts page’? That might help??
Also check in My Site > Site > Posts and make sure that after editing you didn’t accidentally create duplicate posts. I don’t think this is the case as the URLs are identical, but just make sure.
I’ve recently cleared my cache and cookies, and updated my browser (Chrome) so it probably isn’t a cache/cookies problem. -

I personally am out of ideas, however I’ve tagged this thread for staff attention in case they know how to fix it. Thank you for your patience!

You have your site currently set to show only 1 post per page. If there any improvement if you change that to something larger, like 5?

You can change that at My Site ->Manage ->Settings ->Writing.
It looks like you’ve found that already, but I would not recommend you set that to 100 as you currently have it. Forcing the front page to load 100 posts at once will cause your site to crash once you have that many posts published on your site, not to mention using a ton of data for anyone who visits your site.
At most, set that to perhaps 20, with anything between 5 and 10 being the better option. If you enable infinite scroll on that same settings page, it will then automatically load new posts whenever you get to the bottom of the page, but it will only load 7 at a time, instead of 100.

I’m not currently seeing any duplicates.
Please try clearing your browser’s cache: https://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/

The duplicates just moved. Now they’re on page 2 of the blog once you scroll past the oldest entry.

Hmmmm I’ve personally seen a few cases where Infinite Scroll duplicated posts on some older themes. And if I look carefully, yeah I can see them here too.
This theme certainly is older — would you be willing to test by changing to something current? I can also file a bug report on this theme if you can confirm.
Note to change back, you’ll need to use https://throwingpoop.wordpress.com/wp-admin/themes.php and look for Chunk, so you might as well change themes from that page, too. You should be able to “preview” most themes before committing to test the scrolling.

Great, would you like me to go ahead and report this for Chunk? I can’t promise it would be fixed anytime soon since the theme is long retired, but if you really want to go back to that I can file a request. Or if you’re happy with the new theme I’ll not worry about it.

Does this also happen for the Libretto theme? Because I recently discovered that I was also getting duplicate posts on https://writingareapoetry.wordpress.com/stories/page/2/. Here’s a screenshot: https://writingareapoetry.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/sticky-posts-duplicate-libretto.png.
I’ll create a new thread if that’s better, but I just wanted to know beforehand if it is just the theme.
