Duplicating pages instead of updating

Hi @wvpv,

Sorry for the super late reply.

Ideally the *posts* will not be duplicated.

Ideally the plugin checks for the “post slug” and the “file name” of the markdown file.

If there is no such slug already existing under the parent post then a new post will be created.

If you are still using the plugin, you could share more details if the issue is still reoccuring.

Thanks,

I’m not currently using it because it duplicates pages instead of updating pages matching slugs. I don’t get the use case for this option if it doesn’t update.

I’d like to create pages like chapters in a book.

Hi,

Posts/pages will never be duplicated. Unless there some special scenario which I didn’t cover.

I would suggest you to give another try. It should not happen.

My website uses the plugin and I had no issues like duplicate posts and I have tested it multiple times in different post types.

It would be helpful if you can retry and share a screenshot of your repo configuration in the admin page whenever possible.

Thanks,

in “publisher.php” file,
when “create_posts” function executed, $item_slug need to encode with percent encoding before check the array_key_exists in $existing_posts.

Maybe He also used non-English characters in the file name.

in my case, i just fix it with like this (on line 233):

$encoded_item_slug = strtolower(urlencode(str_replace(" ","-", $item_slug)));
$post_id = array_key_exists( $encoded_item_slug, $existing_posts ) ? $existing_posts[ $encoded_item_slug ][ 'id' ] : 0;

Hi @imjlk,

Thanks for looking into this.
I haven’t tested with markdown files with non-english characters.

I’ll check it out and test your suggestion.

Thanks,
