This is a general migrator question. I have multiple XML files from a wordpress site. This wordpress site is constantly being updated. My development site cannot keep up with the updates and when that site goes live and it posted for the public I'm going to do one final import.

My question is when I import will this create duplicates of the blogs? Or will the migrator check the database for the blog post and skip it?

Thanks for your help.
Hello Donald,

Easyblog will not check for the duplicate posts unless the post is in one XML file. For example, you have file_1.xml with posts A, B and C. And another file_2.xml with posts B and D. Once you have migrated file_1.xml, Easyblog will record those migrated post with its file name. If you try to re-import the file_1.xml, Easyblog will skip it. But if you try to import file_2.xml, Easyblog will import both posts B and D even post B is already imported.

However, if you want to start from scratch, you might want to truncate #__easyblog_migrate_content table. This table is the one that has all the migrated post records.
