Issue with Facebook posts duplicating

  • We had an issue with Facebook posts getting duplicated on our site on every fetch, which bloated up our database and had the images taking up a lot of hard disk size.

    After looking into this, I managed to fix the issue by making this small change to the plugin code:

    inc/class-facebook.php on line 56: $post_id = $this->post_exists( $title );

    The issue with using post_name_exists and passing the title as a parameter, is that the post_name property gets formatted in the database like this: “Post Name One” -> “post-name-one”, which causes the LIKE comparison to fail. Instead we should use your brilliant function post_exists() and only just pass the title as a parameter.

    Cheers!
