Paper posting twice to my Twitter several hours apart

At some point my paper began posting twice a day to my Twitter several hours apart. I would like to stop this, or control when the paper posts, but can't seem to find any settings to to do this. (I am NOT a Pro member.)

  Hi Alice,

  We implemented a change that you can deactivate and sent out an email notifying users but perhaps you missed it. Because twitter is such a fast moving service, tweeting a post twice means that a different audience may see your tweet in their timeline. There's a setting in your paper settings that is called "Tweet multiple times" and it's currently set to ON. To turn this off, go to your paper settings > Social Media Agent > Share Web Newspaper link > turn off Tweet multiple times, :)

  Best,
  Julia

  I'm not seeing any options after "Share Web Newspaper Link" -- is this an accurate and current answer?

  Hi Travis, the multiple tweet option is in beta which means not everyone can see the setting.  That said, which paper are you looking at?  I see you have several.

  Thanks for telling us how to fix this. Personally, I don't think it's a good feature because then your timeline is filled up with multiple tweets of the same thing. What if someone engages with one? And someone engages with the other. That's kind of splitting things too much for good analytics later. You know? But that's just my perspective.

  I am still experiencing the same problem (also not on PRO) and I can not find the Share Web Newspaper Link either- I am assuming that the tweet option is now out of beta and that I should be able to stop multiple posting?

  Hi m m pepping, you can find the feature under Social Media Agent > Twitter > Share Web Newspaper Link.

  

   

  Cheers!

  I'm having the same issue and I followed the steps suggested by Julia Yaziji above BUT, as of today March 2020, in my non-PRO account settings there is no option of "turn off Tweet multiple times" in the "Share Web Newspaper link" section!

  Hi Diana,

  This is actually an older post and the 'Tweet Multiple Times' option is no longer available. If you'll provide a link to the paper in question, I'll be happy to look into this for you.

  Thanks Dorian for your help. My 2 papers are posting twice on Twitter the same articles each time:

  1 - https://paper.li/DianaMeyerNews/1475145887#/

  2 - https://paper.li/e-1460818048#/

  I'd like to keep the one where it mentions the author of the article - I like those ones to be tweeted so that the author knows I am sharing their articles.
