Why use WP Delete Post Copies?

Is probable that if there is a large amount of duplicated posts, for the timeouts on each server, the query can be interrupted when is proceeding manually and therefore the log can’t be recorded. To avoid this decreases the “Limit per time” value. A value of 100 or 150 is suitable, but also with 10 at a time, works very well.

PLEASE MAKE BACKUPs OF YOUR DATABASE AND FILES BEFORE USE.
