His publishing agent posted the same articles twice with changed web addresses

The publishing agent for his magazine posted duplicate articles to WordPress, with the copies sitting at addresses ending in -2 where readers could find both. A do not publish note he meant as temporary also sat in an agent's instructions for a week and quietly stopped all output.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

Nothing crashed. The magazine just slowly filled with second copies of itself.
