Venutius

<p>This plugin allows duplicate titles to be detected and avoided across all public post types. The post types that it works on can be selected in the settings page.</p>
<p>This means that you can enforce unique titles across all types of posts, not just the standard blog pages.</p>
<p>Posts with duplicate titles to existing published posts can be prevented from publication and instead saved as draft.</p>
<p>There is a settings page which allows these behaviors to be changed:</p>
<ol>
<li>Uniqueness can be detected across all post types or only for the type of post being created.</li>
<li>The post types to be checked can be selected.</li>
<li>You can choose to warn about title duplication whilst still allowing publication.</li>
</ol>
<p>Avoid Duplicate Titles now also supports BP Post Status custom BuddyPress post statuses, so it will check all available post statuses.</p>
<p>Note: With WordPress 5.0 and higher Avoid Duplicate titles only works with the Classic Editor, it does not support the Block Editor currently.</p>
