Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Delete Duplicate Posts

Yes. Always take a full site backup before deleting posts or pages, even when using trash.

Restore from the backup you took before running the tool. If duplicates were only moved to trash, you can also restore them from the WordPress trash.

Each built-in redirect is created in the Redirection “Delete Duplicate Posts” group, then removed from this plugin. If that URL is already in the group, it is only removed here. A redirect that fails to move stays in the built-in list. Changing the provider setting does not move or delete existing records by itself. Redirects stored in Redirection are not listed in this plugin.
