Double Posts on January 18

posted this on Jan 18 18:34

We received reports that some blogs were pulling blog posts twice starting today, the 18th, or late last night (US Pacific Time). After investigating, we found the problem and it seems to be affecting:

- Blogs that use Google Analytics parameters in their feed (utm_* params)

- Blogs without Google Analytics, but in which the author had manually deleted a post from that blog recently (today or late last night). 

 

We pushed an update and fixed the problem, so it shouldn't happen any more. 

 

Warning: Don't delete the duplicate posts

If duplicates were published to Facebook or twitter, then it's okay to delete them from your wall or fan page. However, don't delete the duplicate posts from the NetworkedBlogs blog profile just yet. We're working on a solution for that and will update you soon. Subscribe to this thread so you get an email when we post an update here.

 

We're very sorry for the trouble this has caused and we're working on cleaning the duplicate posts for affected users as soon as possible.

I deleted the double posts yesterday, but today I'm having a problem with publishing to my page but not to my profile.

Mine posted twice today also, but good to know that it's a known issue.

Quick update: We just started running the clean up code that will go through our database and remove duplicate articles that were added yesterday. It'll take about 10 hours to finish going through all the blogs. 

 

That should remove the duplicates on NetworkedBlogs. But, unfortunately, we can't remove what was already published on twitter or Facebook, so you might want to check your fan page and profiles and remove any duplicates. Thanks for your patience as we clean up this problem.

I'm receiving double posts on one of my facebook pages, but not on the other.   I don't know what is causing the problem.  Can you please help me resolve this/  Thanks.

By the way, the rss feed when I click on your link from the top of the Animal Communicator Forum facebook page actually lists each blog post twice.  But when I ask for a feed directly from my website, each post is only there once. Therefore, the problem has to be in your app.

Have just found this thread. I have deleted a post in Networked blogs, and would like to re-pull it but I can't seem to get that to work. Can someone tell how to do that or of it is possible at all. Thank you.
