We have a custom post type that contains the names of schools and colleges. Over the years weve imported quite a few schools multiple times. So wed like to create a view that shows posts that have duplicate titles so we can manually delete actual duplicates.

Its possible that a school may exist in multiple states or locations and so in those cases wed keep the duplicates

Is this possible

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

In this case, I'll recommend creating a view with the table output, where the posts are ordered by the title.

The columns of this view will consist of the fields like post title, states, locations, and delete button.

This way you'll have a quick overview of the pots with the same or similar post titles and you'll be able to compare the data from the other columns to decide whether they're duplicates or the unique ones.

regards,
Waqar

Thanks Waquar- theres no way to limit the view to posts with duplicates there are several thoudand records so its a bit to sift through with a straight apha sort and list.

Best

I'm afraid, I can't think of any other feature or workaround to find the duplicates in such a case.
