FeedWordPress

Posted on July 24, 2009 by Charles Johnson

FeedWordPress is an open-source Atom/RSS aggregator for the WordPress blog publishing platform. You set up feeds that you choose, and FeedWordPress syndicates posts from those sources into your WordPress posts table, where they can be displayed by your WordPress templates like any other post — but with additional meta-data, so that your templates can properly attribute the post to the source it came from.

FeedWordPress was originally developed because I needed a more flexible replacement for Planet to use at Feminist Blogs. You can use FeedWordPress to create aggregator (Planet) sites that bring together posts from many different sources, using the WordPress templating engine to display posts from all around the web. Or you can use it to bring together all your online activity from your blog, Twitter, Flickr, or other online services, into a Lifestream with all your online activity in one place.

FeedWordPress is designed with flexibility, ease of use, and ease of configuration in mind. You’ll need a working installation of WordPress or WordPress MU (version 3.0 or later), and also FTP or SFTP access to your web host. You don’t need to tweak any plain-text configuration files and you don’t need access to shell or crontab on your web host to make it work. (Although, I should mention, web hosts that don’t offer shell access and cron jobs are bad web hosts.)

  I had FeedWordPress running just fine on my site, and it did exactly what I needed. But recently when I try to add a feed instead of getting the normal dialogue to confirm addition of the feed I get this:
  
  Feed Finder: Subscribe to mydomain.com/feed/atom
  
  And that’s it. It doesn’t add the feed.
  
  Anybody see this before. Any hints?

Hi liekie,

I had the same problem, and found a wonderful plugin called theexcerptreloaded() – have a look here:

http://guff.szub.net/2005/02/26/the_excerpt-reloaded/

Once you’ve activated it, you can amend the way your theme outputs the text: WP functions thecontent() outputs the entire syndicated post, and theexcerpt() the entire excerpt. But with theexcerptrelaoded() you can specify how many words are used, which HTML tags you’d like to display and if you’d like to use thecontent() or theexcerpt() fields. Works for me on http://www.broadcast-news.co.uk.

Will This Break WP 2.8.5? I am interested in giving it a whirl, but I see the latest release is only compatible up to 2.8.1.

If so, how soon will it be updated to work with 2.8.5?

Can FeedWordPress be adapted to use as an job aggregator?

I used:

< ?php if (is_syndicated()) : ?> < ?php print strip_tags(string_limit_words(get_the_excerpt(),35)); ?> < ?php endif; ?>

where ‘print striptags’ removes all HTML tags from the post fed and where ‘stringlimit_words’ limits the number of words from the excerpt, in this case 35 words.

Separately, code to strip HTML tags would look like:

< ?php if (is_syndicated()) : ?> < ?php print strip_tags(get_the_excerpt()); ?> < ?php endif; ?>

and code to limit number of words would look like:

< ?php if (is_syndicated()) : ?> < ?php print string_limit_words(get_the_excerpt(),35); ?> < ?php endif; ?>

This is what I used and works well for me. Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Joelle

Absolutely love the plugin. I have been wanting to set up a cron job that would manually push all the feeds on a blog (example: http://my.mvourtown.com/homeowners)in WPMU. I can’t seem to figure out which file I should be referencing. It used to be update-feeds.php if I look through old documentation from circa 2007 (obviously older versions of WP). I have also attempted to have it run this: http://my.mvourtown.com/homeowners/?update_feedwordpress=1 that I found in the documentation, but nothing will check the feed.

End result: Checking every minute for updates on all feeds on all blogs involved. Any help would be hugely appreciated! Thanks!

  Howdy,
  
  I’m trying to use feedwordpress to set up a sort of virtual shop of the items that I sell on craigslist. It works great except for one major snafu. Every time I edit a craigslist ad, it seems to pull another copy out of the feed and post it. So if edit the same ad three times, then I have three different posts.

  Is there anyway in the settings or anything that I’m doing to cause it to double post like that?
  
  Thanks!

Great plug-in. On my first install, everything seemed to work fine. But now when I try to refresh my feed and update stories accordingly, it’s not detecting any new stories despite them being present in the feed. Any ideas?

Also, if there was a way to ignore deleted posts, that’d be great. But imagine that may be tough.

Hi !

Congratulations to your plugin. It’s very help- and powerfull.

Is it possible to add two features ? :
- switch to select, if updates of the post description/text of on already imported news should be made, if the feed has updated.
- feature to setup a number of maximum days in the past, news will be imported (e.g. max. days = 30, current-date = 2009-10-01, newsfeed from 2009-09-01 will be taken, newsfeed from 2009-08-01 will be rejected)
Also a nice feature : - setup a number of days after posts well be deleted (will all tags) wich was imported, but not published.

I will make a donate of 25USD for this updates.

When the “Permalinks point to:” setting is set to “the copy on the original website”, RSS feeds for the aggregated blog are also affected by this setting. There should be a setting to have RSS feed permalinks of the aggregate blog point to “the local copy on this website”.

Hi, I see that there is an update for the plugin, and that the changelog said something about fixing errors and other bug fixes – all stuff I don’t fully understand, but I have this question for you – will it fix errors like this: Warning: preg_match() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in /home/mydomain/wp-includes/class-simplepie.php on line 1727 I have been using this plugin for over a month now, in a testing environment. I determined that using this plugin along with Strictly Auto Tags by Rob Reid caused this error to occur periodically during the day when I worked on the WP backend and surfed the frontend of the site. I stopped using Strictly Auto Tags, but now I have other plugins installed that seem to be interfering with FeedWordPress, but I cannot NOT use them. I will be keeping an eye on things now with a new update and hope it fixes things, but I would appreciate you looking into this problem also. I have threads open about this issue at WordPress.org search “Warning messages” under the username “RootedUp”

Good evening. I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out the differences between two wordpress blogs that are feeding to an aggregation blog and one that is not passing images to the aggregation blog. They’re all set up through feedburner, they all use the same theme, Platform Pro and settings appear to be the same for all. I have removed the feed and restarted it, still no joy. Any ideas on where to look is appreciated! Aggregate wordpress: jancaynes.com, source wordpress sites are: analyticallyspeaking.com (no images), blog.azartisan.com (working) and parceledgardens.com (working).

Hi there, I’m now testing your plugin, and I’ve managed to add using a program more than 10000 feeds, but now when I try to go to the admin page of the plugin it tries to show all the 10000 feeds in one page, and that is taking a lot of time, or consuming a lot of memory in the server.

Is there any way that you can “paginate” the feeds?

It seems that WP itself does not expect that amount of bookmarks too as it’s internal bookmark managing option does not paginate too.

Please help, or at least let me know where shall I try to do it by myself.

Help would be appreciated.

I loaded this up perfectly last night but today I published an article on the target blog and a little while ago I came back to see if it updated. It had not updated so I checked in the dashboard and I found this error: Most recent (1 min from now): The data could not be converted to UTF-8. You MUST have either the iconv or mbstring extension installed. Upgrading to PHP 5.x (which includes iconv) is highly recommended.

my web host is using PHP/5.2.6 on both blogs. I made some changes to the update features and this may be unrelated but it gave me this error at the top of the page:

Good day,

First of all i would like to thank the developer of this great plugin.

I also would like to ask if I can safely delete these items in the wppostmeta of the wordpress database metakey: syndicationitemhash syndicationpermalink syndicationfeedid syndicationfeed syndicationsourceuri syndicationsourceid syndication_permalink

All syndicated posts have entries in wppostmeta which will eventually add new entries to the wppostmeta table.

Are these metakeys safe to delete? Are these metakeys are reuse by feedwordpress?

Hello, I like this plugin very much but encountered now a really B I G problem…

I’m using FWP to create posts out of Amazon rss-feeds. Generally it works just fine and creates posts out of th rss-feeds. But now I recognized that my Amazon-(affiliate)-ID is not in the link of the post anymore!

If I click on the rss-feed in “syndicated sources” on the main screen, every article still contains the Amazon-ID. So far so good. But in the resulting post the ID isn’t available anymore.

I would be more than happy if anyone had an advice for me. Thanks in advance!

Hi Veki,

Sorry to hear you ran into this problem. Would you be willing to send me some screen shots to help me figure out what’s going on?

If so, the following screenshots from your WordPress administration interface would help me out a lot:
1. A screen shot that shows what it looks like when you are at the Syndicated Sites list;
2. A screen shot that shows what it looks like when you bring up the Links page in your WordPress admin interface (if this requires scrolling down multiple screens, a series of screen shots showing the whole contents would be most helpful);
3. A screen shot that shows what it looks like when you go to the Links –> Categories page in your WordPress admin interface; and
4. A screen shot that shows what it looks like when you go to the Syndication –> Feeds & Updates page in the WordPress admin interface.
If you can produce these, and send them along to me via e-mail at veki.to.feedback@radgeek.com (the bit at the front is to make sure that the e-mail gets routed properly), I would be much obliged, and would be glad to do what I can to try and help you out.

I believe that older versions of FeedWordPress had this problem, but that recent public releases include a fix to it. You should be able to solve the problem just by upgrading to the latest version of FeedWordPress.

Thanks for the heads-up here is a quick summary of what we’ve discussed in our e-mail conversation after I contacted you for more information about the problem you were encountering. I’m posting it here for others’ reference.

Based on our e-mail conversation, in which you provided more information about the filename and line numbers associated with this PHP warning, I determined that the PHP notice you were seeing about strtolower() is the result of an unchecked call to strtolower in a method that checks settings on syndicated links. The unchecked call is harmless — in the situations that trigger the notice, all the tests still go the way that they ought to go given the circumstances — but in order to avoid the notice, for people who have that level of PHP notification turned on, I have committed a fix to the Development Version of FeedWordPress which eliminates the unchecked call and hence should eliminate the PHP notice as well. This fix will be included in the next public release of FeedWordPress.

Great idea for a plugin but sadly I’m having some issues

When importing feeds and then checking them in my posts

if I click on preview I get a error message

strtolower() expects parameter 1 to be string

everytime

any ideas why?

I’m experiencing problems with FeedWordPress and my feeds at Delicious.
It’s not importing new items since 10 day and when I update manually it doesn’t see the new items and the status in the Syndication page is “10 days ago Ready for next update 10 days ago”.

I upgraded the plugin to the latest version (2010.0127) and accepted the MagpieRSS but it didn’t help.
I was on an older WordPress so I thought that was the problem and went all the way to 2.9.2. Also, no luck.
I even tried to remove FeedWordPress and to downgrade it by installing an older version to no avail.

From what little I’ve understood, FeedWordPress doesn’t like some of the previously perfectly fine feeds. Feeds from Flickr are ok but those from Delicious and from Yahoo! Pipes are seen as if they weren’t valid and I get an “Error: FeedWordPress couldn’t find any feeds at (url of the feed). Try another url.” After many tries I also got this error

Diagnostic information
HTTP request completed
Status 999:
HTTP Transports available:wp_http_curl

Any ideas about what’s happening?

Thanks in advance

Any advice would be appreciated.

The first feed I tried was: http://ezinearticles.com/rss/Computers-and-Technology-Certification-Tests.xml

the errors I got were: Warning: gzuncompress() [function.gzuncompress]: data error in /home/simply/public_html/wordpress/wp-includes/http.php on line 1824

Error: FeedWordPress couldn’t find any feeds at http://ezinearticles.com/rss/Computers-and-Technology-Certification-Tests.xml. Try another URL.

this next feed I tried only gave me 1 error:

The error I got was:

Hi Radgeek. After your last upgrade it all went bad. I can go as far as adding a new feed but when I update checked it says 0 post and 0 updates were syndicated. My other site that I have not updated the plugin yet works fine on version (2009.1112)

After deleting and reinstalling the plugin no dice and now when feedwordpress is activated I get this error message when I click on the Pages from the admin: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 80 bytes) in ?xxxxx/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 958… When I deactivate feedwordpress the error dose not occur.

also do you have any idea if I can limit or control the items that the feed will be import on my post, let say when I run the update for the feed, and if the rss feed link has 40 items, I want 10 items only to be import to my Post, then on the next update he will grab 11 to 20 and so on…

is there any modification or tutorial that can show me how to limit the items that being import in my WP Post? thanks.

Casemon on January 20, 2010 at 9:23 am said:

Am using the latest FeedWordPress with WP v2.9.1 and for some reason, cannot add a custom tag to a feed’s articles.

When I click on the field for “Tag all posts from this feed as…” the field text doesn’t disappear and manually editing the field and clicking Add, nothing happens. The current page url is rewritten, but nothing otherwise happens. Same for the “Choose from the most used tags in Post Tags” link; does nothing when it used to (i think).

Is this a known issue?

Also, is FeedWordPress in active development? Main article says it’s only compatible up to WP v2.8.4; seems to work fine in v2.9.1 but if FeedWordPress is abandoned, I’ll probably end up buying another solution.

Hello, today i found a bug in your plugin. In my blog it shows 5 entrys and the last was an entry of an imported feed. the entry was pointed to the original entry in the other blog. an in my sidebar on the right (!!) side, was a widget called “recent_comments” (standard). The links to the comments show at the other blog. To fix the problem you have to edit the “feedwordpress.php” in the plugin dir

search:
```
function syndication_permalink ($permalink = '') {
    if (get_option('feedwordpress_munge_permalink') != 'no'):
        $uri = get_syndication_permalink();
        return ((strlen($uri) > 0) ? $uri : $permalink);
    else:
        return $permalink;
    endif;
} // function syndication_permalink ()
```
and replace it with:
```
function syndication_permalink ($permalink = '') {
    $id = url_to_postid($permalink);
    if (get_option('feedwordpress_munge_permalink') != 'no'):
        $uri = get_syndication_permalink($id);
        return ((strlen($uri) > 0) ? $uri : $permalink);
    else:
        return $permalink;
    endif;
} // function syndication_permalink ()
```
and now it works fine!

Hi – this will be a great plugin. Two problems:

I’m using this with WP2.9.2 and every time it has imported some feeds it then seems to delete the feed address from the syndicated sources.

Second, when editing the post the permalink shows the original article address (not feed)- as I set it up to do. When you click on the Preview it goes straight to the original article – good. But if you publish the post and then click on the title it goes only to a post. Why is it doing this?

Thanks

I don’t know, im’ trying to figure out the problem… could 2.9 wordpress update change something?

I run 2.9 wp release and the last FWP plugin release. 15 days ago all was fine with FWP.

Now I’m trying with the newer magpie files (that ones provided by FWP) and with the default ones… it’s the same.

Some feeds (valide or not) are not more parsed.

I’d be happy to try and help you figure out what’s going on with this feed, but in order for me to do so I need more information. In particular, if you can provide me with the URL of the feed that you’re trying to syndicate (either in comments or via e-mail, whichever you prefer), I can take a look at it run some tests in order to figure out what the source of the problem is. Without the URL, all I know is that MagpieRSS is failing, for some reason or another, to successfully parse the feed. But there are various reasons why that might be happening. If you can provide the URL, hopefully I can narrow it down a bit.

This is a great plugin when it works. Find it very fickle though!

For example, a feed worked, I removed it from Feedpress, then latter re-added it, and now it doesn’t. The feed itself has not changed, it works fine in every RSS / Atom viewer i’ve tried… only Feedpress suddently decided that it was an “Unknown feed”

Any ideas why?

Also getting the same error message “Unknown feed” on other feeds that work just fine in every reader i’ve tried… is there a published list of what feed params Feedpress will accept or will not accept?

Very important info, given Feedpress not accepting valid feeds kind of limits options.

hi there, Thanks for developing the plugin. I have an issue, currently all the syndicated posts have links adopting from the title. So when i have titles like – “Firefox For Android Compiled, Demoed On Milestone – You Can Too!” The – in the title causes the link to be http://crazyaboutphones.com/android-updates/firefox-for-android-compiled-demoed-on-milestone—you-can-too/ . As you might notice right after milestone ther is three — dashes. This of course returns a server error page as the link doesnt work .

Another example is this title — “”"T-mobile HD2 Available Online, But not in Stores…. Yet!!”"” The multiple dots in the title again result in a url such as this http://crazyaboutphones.com/windows-phone/t-mobile-hd2-available-online-but-not-in-stores-…-yet/. Again three dots cause the same proble.

How do i resolve this issue that is have the url’s or slugs not to have stop words or punctuation marks, is it possible?

Just to confirm (because my line numbers seem to be slightly different from yours, for whatever reason), the problem was with the following method declaration in rss.php:
```
// Namespace handling functions
function namespace ($element) {
```
… and it was iminated when you changed the name of the method to something other than namespace?

If so, should be an easy fix to roll into the next release. Thanks for the heads-up!

Great plugin, just started playing with it after realising a plugin I used to use no longer works with WordPress 2.8.6 and hasn’t been updated for well over a year.

I’d like to use the name of a feed (which I’ll manually create) as part of the title of a syndicated post or use a custom bit of text for each theme to be added to the title of each post.

So if a post is called:

This is a great post

And from a feed called:

Feed One

I get a title for the post:

Feed One : This is a great post

Got an example of what I’m trying to emulate (created by copying and pasting) [[http://www.votesprout.com/conservative-party-news-cameron-challenges-brown-over-recession]]

Looking to add the 6 main UK political parties news via your plugin, but out the box it doesn’t distinguish which party the news comes from since the news source doesn’t have the party name in the title (the title of the above example is “Cameron Challenges Brown Over Recession”). I want to enhance the titles preferably prior to adding them to the database.

I found the add attribution module and that’s helped a lot, I have a test category with 50 test pages (from one feed) added by your plugin and it’s really close to what I want (see the Test category on the site above, though it won’t be up long).

However, when I added a custom feed setting called libdem with value “Liberal Democrats Party News : ” and under the add attributes options added [feed-setting key="libdem"] before the title it added the ‘name of the feed’ (the custom text above) where I want it, but also messes with my Recent Articles widget.

When on a page created with the plugin (everything under the Test cat) all the pages linked under the Recent Articles widget add the anchor text “Liberal Democrats Party News :” whether it’s from that feed or not. When on a page not created by the plugin the pages I’d like to have the custom text lack it (I can live with that).

Interestingly my Most Popular Posts widget (created using another plugin) and Recent Comments widget (created with custom template code) are not affected ether way.

Any thoughts on achieving what I want without messing up my Recent Articles anchor text? Ideal solution would be to add the text to the post as it’s added to the database, so the permalinks slug includes that text as well (so if I removed the plugin it would still be – “Feed One : This is a great post”.

Happy to edit the plugin code to get this working, but not sure where to start.

David

timnicholson on December 12, 2009 at 9:16 pm said:
I’d like to suggest an enhancement that I believe should be pretty easy to do and many people would like it. I’d like to see options to turn off updating of various fields for posts that feedwordpress has already posted in our blogs. The thing that I feel is the most important is being able to turn off updates to categories and tags. Those of us that have auto category and/or tag creation turned on typically go into the posts to clean up the tags and/or categories. The next time the feed updates, though, those changes get overwritten.

I think it would also be very good to be able to turn off updating the post excerpt. Probably quite a few of us periodically update the excerpt text and that gets overwritten as well at the next update.

It might be nice to have a few other options as well. So the settings screen might look like this:
```
Turn off updating of existing posts:
[ ] Title
[ ] Author
[ ] Excerpt
[ ] Post Body
[ ] Date/Time
[ ] Categories
[ ] Tags
```

timnicholson on December 12, 2009 at 8:58 pm said:

Could you please add a one line change to the plugin to prevent the post excerpt from duplicating the content? I am using some feeds that set the excerpt (RSS “Description”) to the exact same thing as the main content of the article. On WordPress pages that are supposed to display only the excerpt, the entire post gets displayed instead. This looks terrible and wastes some disk space.

So I would propose the following fix that I’ve made be included in the next version update of this plugin. The fix won’t harm anything else, regardless of whether these types of feeds are being used or not.

in function SyndicatedPost in syndicatedpost.class.php please replace this line: [code]if ( isset($this->item['description']) and $this->item['description'] ) :[/code]

with this one: [code]if ( isset($this->item['description']) and $this->item['description'] and $this->item['description'] != $content ) : [/code]

Thanks so much for this and for providing such a great plugin!

Man, that was fast! Looks like you got in between the time I uploaded the update and the time I announced it on the blog. Anyway, if you check out the announcement post, that has a list of the significant changes. (Briefly, the most important changes include a shift to SimplePie for feed parsing, some new features, a couple of important bug fixes and parsing improvements, and — a potential block, if you haven’t updated your installation of WordPress in the past couple years — the shift to SimplePie has led me to drop support for WordPress 1.5 – 2.7.)

Hope this helps!

I’m using FeedWordPress 2010.0127. All my feeds from WordPress.com suddenly got the title included in the syndicationsourceoriginal and syndication_source.

Example:

I’d like to be able to import a frequently updated feed of short items (like Facebook Links posts) as a single daily digest post, rather than having one new post per RSS item. Would this be difficult to add?

RSS Digest used to offer this functionality, but it’s not working with the newest version of WP, and development seems stalled or dead…

Anand,

There is almost certainly a way to do what you’re trying to do; the best way to do it is going to depend on some details about what’s on the feed you’re trying to syndicate. Could you give me the URL of the feed you’re getting these results from, so I can take a look at it and run a couple of quick tests?

Hi,

I noticed to day that some feeds at http://www.myelomablogs.org are pulled and added to the database as if they were internal posts and not external sources.

Examples:
1. Correctly inserted feed as the text “originaly posted at” [something]
  In single page view title and read more link point to external source link
  General listing: http://www.myelomablogs.org/2010/05/05/wednesday-morning-and-i-have-energy/
  Single view: http://managingmyeloma.blogspot.com/2010/05/wednesday-morning-and-i-have-energy.html
2. Incorrectly inserted feed as the text for internal posts “this is a notice from MyelomaBlogs Planet”
  In single page view title and read more link point to internal post link
  General listing: http://www.myelomablogs.org/2010/05/05/wellness-wednesdays-3/
  Single view: http://www.myelomablogs.org/2010/05/05/wellness-wednesdays-3/
This has already more than 1300 posts ;(

My issue is solved.
1. Turn your blog under maintenance using the http://sw-guide.de/wordpress/plugins/maintenance-mode/ plugin
2. Turn ON the debug of FeedWordpress and goto syndication and run an update. It may break it with an error message from another plugin.
In my case I upgraded Shorten2Ping and changed the shortening service from Cli.gs to J.mp (Facebook and other were complaining that Cli.gs is a malware site) and that move started to give me a PHP warning just after FWP processes the title and the content of a feeded post, i.e. FWP never got the rest of the data from feed.

I changed to Is.Gd and that bug on Shorten2Ping was bypassed (although it is still there) and all is ok now on my side.

This cost me a night’s sleep.

Hope it may help you.

Hi, Ok we’ve encountered some issue. The process was working perfectly but we had to update the password to our password protected feed that we were grabbing updates from. Ever since then the plugin hasn’t been able to poll the rss feed for updates.

We’ve tried uninstalling Feedwordpress, reinstalling. Uninstalling all other plugins leaving only Feedwordpress. We’ve updated the RSS.php file and rss functions to the one included in the installation. We’ve tried changing the category & tag settings to tags only (read that fixed someone who had a similar issue). We’ve tried everything short of uninstalling WordPress – which we can’t do because we have nearly 4,000 articles indexed by Google News.

My partners tried FeedWordPress on an alternate installation of WordPress and it works there. But, that does nothing for me. I need it to work on my installation.

Any help would be appreciated. =)

Hi, I use yahoo pipes to calculate data on a daily basis, but when I syndicate (even though I change title, description, and date) the single-post rss acts as an update rather than a new post. What data in the RSS feed do I need to make unique so that the post will be considered unique and add a new post, rather than update my old post?

Reply ↓
radgeek on June 11, 2010 at 5:14 am said:

LoveGaming,

You need to make sure that the guid element (in an RSS 2.0 feed; or the id element in an Atom feed) is unique for each item that you want to be considered as a new post. As long as a guid or an id element is available, all of FeedWordPress’s post identity checking will be based on that field.

Hope this helps!

Hi Rad, I implemented what you said, however, a knew problem has arisen. I added a new stream with GUI, but it treated it as an update still, and I looked into my database and even though I had deleted the old post and cleared cache, I still have a huge database of revisions which seems is preserved to make my new post act like an update. Is it a bug that all these revisions aren’t deleted and what can I do about it?

I can do it with an simply php-script (http://truckstop24.net/2010/06/26/denkblokade-mal-wieder-teil-2/) and a cronjob, but it´s not the fine way.

I noticed that every post has a auto generated excerpt for it and I think wordpress uses that excerpt instead of the first 20 words. So my question to you is .

Love this plugin and has worked great on my site until I switched webhosts. When I loaded each feed exactly as before it displayed the latest feed result but hasn’t updated since then. It is checking the feed as usual but even when the feed has been updated nothing is being displayed on the site. Could it be a problem with the host? Everything is current including WordPress, FeedWordpress, Magpie and the Duplicate posts filter.

Let me know how this works for you.

Mark on March 12, 2010 at 1:43 pm said:

Disabling the duplicate posts plugin solved the problem. All feeds are updating. Thanks for the prompt reply! One other small issue which I can’t figure out is the permalink for the feed results are pointing to my website and not the source of the feed. So for example if you click on a feed title it doesn’t bring you to the source of the feed. It worked fine before and I am assuming it is just a setting I have to correct but I can’t seem to figure out where to set it.

Hello,

Playing with the plugin as it seems really nice. Though there is a serious problem why I don’t understand it’s there. If the aggregated content is very short, I don’t see a link back to original site. A link back is available only if aggregated content is long enough.

note: sure I’m using “point to local copy” option as otherwise it will be meaningless to aggregate content (in terms of Google).

Charles, good morning. I appreciate the new look of FeedWordpress’ web site, very cool, although some parts of the site are outdated (no announcement for version 2010, for example) and some help on the plugin could be improved.

For example, what does the option “Save syndicated posts as private posts” means? Does this option avoid loading the database (xx_feedmeta) with that additional FWP data?

If this is the case, could there be any reason to do so? What flexibility would you lose, doing so?

Anyone see the sense in adding an option to determine the order of publishing (ASC DESC)? If posts are being generated during a refresh in an ajax self-updating blog, the newest one will update first and the older ones are ignored.

Just a thought. I may have to mod the plugin myself if nobody else can benefit from this option.

It seems that everything is working properly, as I’ve been able to subscribe to the blog feed, etc. And, the “sample” blog feed appeared once the subcription was complete.

However, no new posts are appearing in the “Posts” section of my dashboard. I’ve tried the post immediately and into “draft” to see if I could find any postings.

I’m sure this is user error, but would appreciate the help!

Its a great plugin… but I am getting feeds where I like to modify its Syndication_permalink… I have idea how to modify but I am not able to find place in the script where I should use the code. I like to include in those links “affiliate code”. Other question would be if there is any update to this post if the URL stays as is or this tweak would change this URL again.

Excellent plugin ! Is there a way to filter certain words from a title and/or its contents? When a word matches parts of the title or contents can the entire post/article be automatically discarded (moved to trash)? Would be an awesome feature ! Looked at your plugin section but can’t find anything related to the above problem definition. Thanks !

Hi.

I use this plugin on [[www.sondernachrichten.de]]. It seems to be the most conveniant aggregator out there but I have two small problems.
1. it shows only the first item of a feed-update, even when there are i.e. 5 in
2. it only updates one feed.
I hope I can get this solved.

Regards Sondernacht

Hi,

great plugin, but I think FWP is breaking under the WP 3.1 update. I’m getting the dreaded blank screen of death, but everything works when I remove FWP (and add-attribution-feedwordpress). But them back, it all dies again. Currently searching through the files to see if it’s the extra blank line problem but no joy so far.

thanks,

Hi. I am using FeedWordpress version 2009.1112.

The feeds that run in FeedBurner all get theirs permalinks set to feedproxy. google .com/~r/site-name/post-name.html

Is there any way to get the REAL permalink for this posts? I’ve realised this when trying to set up the TweetMeme button, and I noticed that the button doesn’t work with sites that have their feeds hosted in FeedBurner (as the permalink is a redirect and the button will not work with redirects).

Any idea will be very very appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

The plugin works great except one thing. I am importing RSS from a site and have noticed that it removes punctuation of the periods at end of sentences. It posts the entire article except for the “.”

Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks.

Hi, is there any update on the duplicate posts issue? The plugin which was supposed to solve this issue is stopping the whole feedwordpress from syncing. We have several duplicates here [[http://madridinformer.com|Madrid Informer]]. This would be a cool addition to the plugin itself instead of using third party stuff. An option to check for duplicate titles with the same date or so and then “not” to publish those.

Another nice thing would be a reduction in CPU usage if that’s somehow possible Thanks

Hi thanks for a great plugin.

I think however there is a bug – any post I create manually I can edit and formatting is preserved (line breaks etc) any post that is brought in using the plugin and edited removes all formatting and is kept in one big P tag. That is to say when imported the formatting is fine – when any alterations are made to a post all formatting goes.

I also note that syndicated pages have problems using Yet Another Related Posts plugin – manually created posts are fine, syndicated posts will work once with YARP but then stop showing any relations.

Hope you can help.

Hello from Germany,

first lots of thanks for your work!

At my blog at http://wbt24.de I use lots of external Feeds. Using the option

**Permalinks point to: * The copy on the original website

mainly works fine but (especially with one feed) it links to the local copy even when not changed in individual settings for this feed:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/SeriousGamesMarket?format=xml results in e.g. http://wbt24.de/?p=2961 instead of http://seriousgamesmarket.blogspot.com/2011/04/serious-games-as-high-quality-searches.html

Sometimes it works fine.. sometimes not… as you could see when going to the author http://wbt24.de/?author=24

Anyone any idea? The blogger is a little upset because of SEO-activities

Thanks & Cheers, Volker

I’m having a lot of issues with duplicate content. The problem occurs when there are numerous stories on a Google news feed which share the same title – bar the very end of the title where the publication source is named.

Is there any way to filter duplicates which, say, match ‘x’ number of words in the title of another post?

This does seem to have got worse recently, but I don’t know if thats related to feedwordpress or my feeds.

Thanks for any help/suggestions.

I was using feedwordpress successfully mostly reviewing pending posts before publishing them but then I started importing summaries of other people’s blogs post and twitter feeds and other scrapped feeds that I knew I could publish immediately but when choosing, “Publish posts from this feed immediately”, it isn’t making the link, the permalink, go to the original source, its is making it a post on my blog which I don’t want, there doesn’t seem to be an option to specify that when you choose to post the feed immediately make it go to the original source. this is with a pre-wordpress 3.0 blog and plugin, not sure if the problem is the same for post 3.0 wordpress,I’ve hacked my blog so much it its difficult to just uprgrade.

Is there any plugin that you know of that allows the use of a Social Media Share button on the home page? Add This works but only when you view the posts in the Author Page but the buttons do not appear on the home page. I am looking for something subtle beneath the actual post if possible.

ashish.pinetree on March 18, 2011 at 6:27 pm said:

Hi there,

I have fixed this issue by adding some code in the file syndicatedpost.class.php at line number 1543.

Basically, I am replacing the special characters with the normal characters before they are inserted into the database.

It can also be handled by using an array of special characters but as each character is replaced by its normal version, I am using multiple str_replace statements. Another improvement could be to create a standard function and then call that function.

//Changes start here if (strlen($out['posttitle'])>=1) : //$out['posttitle'] = strreplace(array(“–”,”’”,”‘”,”?”,”“”,”””,”…”),”",$out['posttitle']); $out['posttitle'] = strreplace(“–”,”-”,$out['posttitle']); $out['posttitle'] = strreplace(“’”,”‘”,$out['posttitle']); $out['posttitle'] = strreplace(“‘”,”‘”,$out['posttitle']); $out['posttitle'] = strreplace(“?”,”?”,$out['posttitle']); $out['posttitle'] = strreplace(““”,”‘”,$out['posttitle']); $out['posttitle'] = strreplace(“””,”‘”,$out['posttitle']); $out['posttitle'] = strreplace(“…”,”…”,$out['post_title']); endif; //Changes end here….

Please include this fix in the next upgrade of the plugin or all my sites using your plugin will throw errors.

thanks very much for the great plugin.

Regards, Ashish

Hi – love the plug in.

I’m getting the following deprecated errors in Admin -> Diagnostics (using latest WP, and PHP 5.2.13):
Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of doaction(). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allowcalltimepassreference to true in your INI file in /home/…/wp-content/plugins/feedwordpress/admin-ui.php on line 53

If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allowcalltimepassreference to true in your INI file in /home/…/wp-content/plugins/feedwordpress/syndicatedlink.class.php on line 316

I’ll play around with those to fix. But, the most unusual error is that the “Syndicated Sources” display, below the H3 tag title, is completely blank … screen shot is at http://lowcarbdaily.com/images/sources-blank.jpg Viewing the page source shows the list is there, but does not display.

I just upgraded to WP 3.1.2, and I’m using FWP version 2011.0211.2. I also just today added my 80th feed, and I’m wondering if that has an impact on it.

Hi, THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE!! I got it working with 0706 and WP3.2, now unfortunately with WP 3.2.1 there are new problems, such as under Feed&Updates>LimitsPostbyDate I can not enter a number in the Number of Posts (only ‘as many as they appear in the feed’ is possible) and more importantly, it appears that even if I set Updates to Cron job – and no Cron has been setup – it keeps updating the feed automatically. I can not stop it from updating feeds! What’s worse, wait 60 minutes before polling does not work, and I have several feeds updating every 15 minutes. Is this only me or anyone else is experiencing this??

tomsskylinedesign on August 5, 2011 at 5:57 am said:

First, let me say thanks for a great plugin. I will try to donate before long. I have setup your plugin on a site and did not notice these errors until after updating to the newest version. The errors are not consistent. They will intermittently appear; and after Google-ing the error, the one common factor seemed to be that most all of the results were related to feeds. The error below will sometimes display on the frontend, and sometimes it will display on the admin login page, too. Today, I noticed about ten to twelve instances of the same error when I went to login on the wp-admin page.

The error:
Warning: calluserfuncarray() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'Array' was given in ///publichtml/***/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 166

This site has about two dozen feeds setup. Most are from Google, Yahoo and YouTube. The errors are intermittent. I cannot say positively; however, it seems as though the errors may appear after the page has been open for an extended period of time and then refreshed, or a link clicked. This site is using WP 3.1.3. I have not taken a look at your code to see if I can identify if the errors are related to the plugin or not. I am also wondering if it could be some of the feeds themselves. This is the only site I have setup using your plugin. I do not recall seeing these errors prior to upgrading and have not encountered them on any other sites. Also, when I upgraded to the newest version of your plugin, it deleted all the custom post keys and values; which, I discovered after 200-300 posts came in. So, I deleted all those posts and added the custom keys and values to each feed. When I upgraded I also did not setup email notifications either (which, may have been helpful here … idk), because my inbox had been getting slammed with notification emails when using the prior version and I did not see a real upside at that point to continuing to receive the emails.

I could give you a link to the site. However, as I stated above, the errors are intermittent. I have not figured out a way to reproduce them on command.

So what´s up here? This webpage hasn´t been updated since the release of FWP 2011.0706? I came here because I´m having trouble (again) with repeated posts, but I´m using the current version (2011.0721) on my WP 3.2.1 + BP 1.2.9. website. When I get here, however, it looks like nobody´s home. Not a good message to be sending…

You need to make sure that you have the permission to use the RSS feeds you are aggregating. Check their terms of service and verify and if in doubt, contact the feed author.
