I am developing a website.

Ex URL : domain.com/index.php?p=love

I have rewrite above URL as the following URL using htaccess file.

Ex URL2 : domain.com/love

So both pages have same content. Does Google think it is duplicate content?

    If you 301 redirect it, Google will only pay attention to the final destination URL and not index the other. Any PR will also go to the final URL.

      I use only this code. Is it not enough?

      <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
      RewriteEngine On
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
      RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?p=$1 [QSA,L]
      </IfModule>

    NO ! It's not plagiarism, just because you have given a link to the main destination, the current link just came out like sample post and your saying go to the main source to see the content.

    Of course google thinks it's duplicate content?
    Do they care? No.

    Plagiarism? What does this have to do with plagiarism?

    How many spamming bots are there posting responses?

    Here's a BIG tip. Develop a site. That is, actually DEVELOP A SITE!

    Stop relying on WP. It's tragic how many problems can be solved
    by ditching WP.

    301 was not for cleaning up WP or any other inane CMS.

    You should be fine, but in general the 301 redirect would be the better way to do it. You could also use a canonical tag to be safe. Not sure how many URL's you're working with, but you could probably run a script to automate the tags.
