Heya! Is there a plugin that will check double posts in wordpress? I mean, not let people to post the same thing twice.
I have an article blog. If I am adding an article, someone else can add the same. I need something that will check if the article already exists, and if the content already exists, it will return an error message.
Hmm i have not searched for such thing but can you make search regarding that name before publishing it .
I've not come across such a thing. This would have to be a manual search or editorial process. The problem with searching for duplicates like this is how different the new content must be compared to the original. If just the title and a few sentences have been changed, then anything but a very sophisticated plugin is not going to spot the similarities.
Uhm.. if someone want to add a duplicate content, trust me that he can find a way. What I was thinking about is creating a plugin that will check the title and/or the first sentence and return a message like "Are you sure this is not a copy of xxx"? Something like Digg has. Is there such a plugin or I will have to code one?
