Help With W-P-OMatic Posting Twice

gjpcoach · 01-26-2009, 08:54 AM

Hi

I've just started using WPOM and find that it is posting twice even though I have "Max items to create on each fetch" set to 1. Each post is different but the time of posting is identical.

Anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks
Gillian

Hi Gillian,

I think the best place to ask this question would be at WPOM's support desk or forum if they have one. They should at the very least have a support desk.

I found a quick, easy solution here:

Hi

Thanks for the responses. I've contacted WPOM support but thought that someone here may have had the same problem here and worked out a solution.

I'm not getting duplicate posts. As I said, each post is different. It's just that WPOM is posting twice when I've set it to post once only.

Cheers

So I take it that you have basically set the campaign to run every 24 hours, is that right?

How about the Cron job, how have you got that set up?

Hi Tim

Cron's working fine. And I had it set to post every 24 hours. I've now changed that to every couple of days because I'm posting other content as well.

Everything is working fine except it posts 2 posts each time instead of one.

Thanks
Gillian

Okay, I just thought you'd get a better answer coming from their support is why I mentioned it.

Very strange.

Just a quick question, how many RSS feeds do you have supplying the campaign?

Hi Tim

I have 3 feeds - google news, yahoo news and google blog search. Funnily enough I changed the cron today to go less often. I set it to */59 * * * *
and now that also goes twice!

Maybe my pc has hiccups :-)
