    Hello, I did an import and goofed up. I have since deleted the duplicates, but there are a few that remain that I am very confused by.

    They share the same post ID’s. I can see one listing on page one and again on page two. But if I do a search of my listings, only one appears. I see this with about 5-6 of my listings.

    Any way to resolve this? Otherwise, I think I will try to manually remove and re-input the listings that are being affected. Thank you.

    I cannot find any duplicates on the frontend.
    I added an alphabetic sort, and still no duplicates.

    Yes, as I said, it’s not reflecting on the front-end. Just in the back.

    Okay. It’s very strange. 🙁

    Thank you.

    Hi Joy,

    This seems to be becasue the sort order is by post date and they are all exactly the same, this is a quirk with SQL where it can show duplicates on other pages, a solution would be to also add another sort order like title but though this would sort things in the short term it would slow things down a little when you are viewing many many listings, so in this situation i would say its best to make sure the post publish dates are unique even by 1 second, or leave them blank when importing to give it the current time and you wont have duplicates.

    Thanks,

    Stiofan
