FeedWordPress 0.96 is loose

I'm wondering if the fix posted in a comment to the former release's post was added to this new release.

The comment is at http://projects.radgeek.com/2005/04/22/feedwordpress-095/#comment-200505...

can anyone tell me if this error:

update-feeds: instruct FeedWordPress to look for new syndicated content

Sending ping to ...

The XML-RPC ping failed (remote): Sorry. I don't syndicate .

is caused by the BBC server blocking FWP, or am I just configuring things wrong?

The feed I'm trying to syndicate is http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/entertainment/music/r...

The feed I’m trying to syndicate is http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonlineukedition/entertainment/music/rss...

wondering whether the rss-functions.php file is still worth installing in Wordpress 1.5.1. Does 1.5.1 have a better version of magpie on board or is your rss-functions.php still a better bet for handling categories/enclosures?

I've just started playing around with WordPress and FeedWordPress and I think they're both great. I have a question though. Is there a way to add a "Read full story" link at the bottom of the entries? The reason I ask is because I want to have the 'Permalinks point to: this website' enabled, but at the same time give a link to the original source. Any chance I could do that?

@ Alexandra Samuel: I'm using 1.5.1 on a Swedish site. When I didn't use the FeedWordPress version of rss-functions.php Swedish characters didn't show. After replacing rss-functions.php everything worked fine. I'm not sure this answers your question, but for me it sure was worth installing it.

Keep up the good work with FeedWordPress Rad Geek!

i recently installed 0.96 on my 1.51 site. I know that there have been problems regarding pingback and trackback. I've been getting the following error:

The XML-RPC ping failed (local): transport error - HTTP status code was not 200

I tried modded (radgeeks) rss-functions.php and the original. also tried latest version of functions.php to no avail.

anyone else having troubles?

what's wierd is that i have the same setup on an upgraded server which works no problem.

whats wierder...

i moved the dir structure to another server at my hosting provider. (db server is not localhost).... and everything works fine.

both servers indicate: bash-2.05b$ php-config --version 4.3.10

the difference can be in the config details i suppose.

i wonder if these problems are related to: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/31541

can someone test FeedWordPress with this (italian) feed: http://www.percarpi.garuti.it/news/convocazioni/convocazioni.xml

Is a rss 1.0 feed. Testing on wp 1.5 and wp 1.5.1 I can't syndicate it (but with many other aggregators I have no problems) The details: On the second step of adding the feed for syndacation if I click on the "use this feed" button, wp do nothing. Looking at the source of the page I discovered that the form action tag is empty: i.e. it doesn't call any script.

Can someone try it?

Many thanks,

Stefano G.

Hi,

I like the plug a lot and have got it working up till the point that posts are displayed. The only thing that I don't understand is how to set the cron job in my cpanel. I used the example code but got a big crash. Please help me and tell me how to set the cron for automated updating. thanks

An update on this error

"The XML-RPC ping failed (local): transport error - HTTP status code was not 200"

After removing all blog feeds and entering them back one by one, there were some feeds that gave errors.

Also, after 50 blogs the error has occurred every time I update

To Stefano -- I replicated your problem. First syndication page shows up, but clicking "use this feed" does nothing.

Here is the problem I'm having: I'm trying to syndicate this feed -- http://www.whisperbrand.com/blog/feed -- which validates and works fine in other aggregators. But when the second screen comes up, it just says "no feed found".

Can others replicate this error? What can I do about it? I can syndicate other feeds no problem, but not this one.

Thanks, Jay

I had the "The XML-RPC ping failed (local): transport error" error message when running the update-feeds.php script.

I solved the problem by going to http://scripts.incutio.com/xmlrpc/tests/IXR_Library.inc.php.txt and saving the file into my Wordpress -> wp-includes folder as IXR_Library.inc.php

I then changed line 40 of update-feeds.php to: require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/IXR_Library.inc.php');

That was it. When I called update-feeds.php it worked correctly.

Hi -

I love your plugin, and am using it on my website at http://www.absurdness.com to merge the contents of http://pictures.absurdness.com, http://jokes.absurdness.com, and http://quotes.absurdness.com.

However, since updating to version .96 (from .95) when I run update-feeds.php all new posts get labeled as 'uncategorized', even though I have gone and set the syndication options to "create any categories the post is in".

I'm using WordPress 1.5.1.1 with your optional rss-functions.php. Any suggestions as to why this stopped working for me?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!!

ps - your contact page at http://www.radgeek.com/contact is producing 404 errors (thought you'd wanna know ;)

To Jay: many thanks. Any idea on what's the problem? If I'll get some free time this afternoon I'll try the feed at whisperbrand and I'll let you know the results...

Stefano

hi Charles,

I've documented how I used FWP to simultaneously blog and store bookmarks in del.icio.us by using Spurl. See http://alexandrasamuel.com/blog/20050522/make-blogging-part-of-your-work...

Thanks again!!

Alex

I'm gettign the same problem that Junap has, only when calling teh XML RPC from my normal WordPress blog to the aggregator blog I'm setting up. I look at teh error log for the aggregator blog and I'm getting [2005-06-03 12:41:24][feedwordpress] update('http://www.xtra-rant.com/') [2005-06-03 12:41:24][feedwordpress] I don't syndicate

I don't recall setting up a robots.txt, so is there any other reason I would be seeing this "I DOn't syndicate" message?

otherwise great plugin that works wonderfully.

How does the plugin treat feeds that don't have categories? Is there any name associated with them in your code? ""? "null"? are they treated as unknown categories or a whole separate beast that always goes into "Uncategorized"

I want to be able to do a.k.a. for those "categories" (or lack of) and not sure how to go about that right now.

Also, it would be sort of cool to, in addition to the current "unknown category" functionality of just telling it to create it or not how about telling it to create a specific category for anything from a given feed in an unknown category.

example: my aggregator has categories named 1, 2 & 3. A feed has categories 1,3,4,7, and foo.

I would like to be able to put categories 4,7 and foo from that feed into ONE category on the aggregator named "Other" or something like that.

I suppose I coudl dig into the code, but I've never done WordPress plugin coding so.. maybe you'd be quicker at a feature like that.

Otherwise great plugin. I"m just trying to bend it to my needs a bit (sory for the verbosity)

akempler (and anyone else who might help...

I uploaded the IXRLibrary and changed the update-feeds.php but I am still getting the

The XML-RPC ping failed (local): transport error”

message.

Any suggestions? Could it be my server??

Help - because FeedWordPress is exactly the plugin I need...

Jay

I'm also having the problem with error... The XML-RPC ping failed (local): transport error - HTTP status code was not 200

when i clicked on the suggested link ... http://scripts.incutio.com/xmlrpc/tests/IXR ... it failed to open.

Any ideas? BTW. I have another instance of FWP working just fine on another (identical) server and host.

John

John,

I have a copy of the scripts.incutio.com which I could email you or you can find it by going to

http://scripts.incutio.com/

and clicking on the sidebar...

This is so irritating because it is such a good program...

Hi,

Im new to wordpress and have just installed it for the first time. Deleting the original Nucleus blog s/w i had before.

This plugin is what i needed and it seems to work ok in that it fetches the feeds but being new to wordpress im not really understanding a few things.

When a post is fetched and added to my blog i get the title and a snippet of the original post but all links created like the title only link to pages created on my site and not the original creators site.

I have permalinks set with mod rewite and wondered if this was the cause as i expected a post to have some sort of link to the original authors website, or is there some config optin i havent set and need to.

Also at the moment im manually fetching the feeds until i can get it working and appearing as i feel it should. When i run update-feeds.php im getting a similar error to those above as in the xml-rpc local not pinging or accepting ping.

I did the fix above as in, I solved the problem by going to http://scripts.incutio.com/xmlrpc/tests/IXRLibrary.inc.php.txt and saving the file into my Wordpress -> wp-includes folder as IXRLibrary.inc.php

I then changed line 40 of update-feeds.php to:

requireonce (ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/IXRLibrary.inc.php’);

This all seemed to works and it reads the file etc, just still get the xml-rpc error still. The feeds are still fetched and posted though.

So my main problem is 1) getting rid of the xml-rpc error and 2) making a link on the fetched post back to the original author.

When these work i can setup a cron job, i have wp-cron installed so i can use that.

Sorry about the big purple blocks above, not sure why that happened.

Rob

I replaced MetaPlanet with FeedWordPress for Blog@USF and it's working great! We have almost 1000 feeds being monitored and it is handling them just fine. I modified it to ignore the default "Hello World" post, but that has been the only change I've needed to make. You can see it in action here

this is the error is get with xml-rpc.

Sending ping to ...

The XML-RPC ping failed (local): parse error. not well formed

← Return to WordPress Dashboard

Have tried different feeds but still get same error.

Also just reading the sectin on API's and i should be able to set the link to the opriginal website in the options-syndication section of dashboard. I have the link set to original website and have tried changing to this website and saving and then back again and saving but all links still point to my websites permalinks.

Im not a programmer so cant see where i might nedd to hack the plugin to block the filter and force it link to original website.

It might just be the current feed im trying but everytime i run the update-feeds to test if there is no update on the original site then it fetches an earlier post, result is i now have posts going back to the 6th June when i only installed wordpress for the first time on the 12th.

Regards Rob

If you're getting the "sorry, I don't Syndicate" error message, check to see that you have syndications setup. Go into Link, Syndicated, and check.

I beat my head up against the wall for hours until I just stumbled upon this and then realized I didn't read the install instructions twice (after I went through them 2x).

whew! this thing is EXACTLY what I needed. Dude you rock. Once I get it 100% completed I'll put some $$ in the cookie jar.

Hi,

Have been over the readme again and am using this as per your feminist blog in the wordpress default template index.php file. from '; the_syndication_source(); echo ''; endif; ?> Just after the posted content and it does something such as make a link to the author name which actually links to a permalink on my website for all posts by that author. But i cant get the link to the original posters site to show at all. Any suggestions? Its almost like the data isnt there to fetch and post.

Still getting the xmlrpc ping error as in earlier post as well.

Regards Rob

That should be the code between citation tags as in the readme file. It didnt show when i pasted it in the message.

Rob

Looks awesome, but I have a Request for Feature Enhancement. Could you possibly make the plugin so you can specify categories for each feed? I want to use this plugin on my home page for a website I have and I want to be able to add hundreds of feeds. This would be great, thank you.

I'm trying to figure out the same thing as the user above requested, which was different categories for the feeds. Any idea on how to do this; sorry, I'm near-illiterate on PHP code, so all my own hack and slashing has only caused bugs.

Hi,

Nice plugins but it take too much resources on my shared hosting plan. Could you make it run using less ram and under 10 seconds ?

regards, CC

I am having trouble displaying the link to the news source or the guid. Anyone know how to display this?

I happened upon this site while following the links from another site. Your site is wonderful and i bookmarked it. Thank your for the hard work you must have put in to create this wonderful facility. Keep up the excellent work

Hi, I really love this plugin! However, I am having an issue with the user workflow. I like the idea of having all posts dropped in as DRAFTS so they can be reviewed. The only problem is if you have 200+ articles at once coming in from feeds, then the Draft area isn’t the place to work with these syndicated posts. I have greatly modified FeedWordPress to include a “Manage > Syndicated Posts” area. This area is for managing the Unpublished Syndicated Posts (Drafts). I am rather happy with the results.

I have another problem that I haven’t tackled yet and it involves the lack of checking for duplicated posts.

If a user updates feeds and then deletes what they don’t want the next update brings them ALL back…very annoying.

I figured the permalinks from the meta table would at least be compared against so this didn’t happen. It looks like the plugin just cleans the meta table instead of doing a compare. The plugin doesn’t correctly look for duplicates. Or it doesn’t store the data necessary for this type of compare. Any suggestions??

I would love to send you the modified plugin and see if you want to incorporate the changes. If not I would love to release it as a “FeedWordPress Pro”.

Your thoughts on all of this…

Thanks Ken Villines

Hi All,

I've been wondering: is there any way to post the feeds in chosen categories rather than the default category? And secondly, each time I delete some posts from my blog, they get reloaded! Is there any way to prevent this?

Thkx and cheers

The reloading of posts is what I am having an issue with too. I think I have found away to fix it but am waiting to here from the developer.

-Ken Villines Website: Ken Villines 1.0

Ceveat I found. I have an option of where to specify permalinks (duh, we all do).

There's a problem with this.

I use this script like most people) to pull from multiple source I like/related to me.

One of those being the RSS feed that 'Bungie' (creators of the Halo series) provides for details of all your Halo 2 Xbox Live games; Another one being my LiveJournal.

The problem is, I want permalinks to go back to LiveJournal, but to stay on my WP blog for the Halo game feed.

Do you think by the time 1.0 rolls around (or maybe next release? ^_^) you could make this a per-feed option?

Another problem.

Apparently LiveJournal's "tags" are the same thing as your "categories". As a result, I now have a ridiculous number of categories.

I don't know if it's anything you can do, seeing as they use <category> for all of their tags (dammit -_-).

Just thought I'd let you know.

I'm quite good at spamming you up :P.

My LiveJournal feed is at http://www.livejournal.com/users/vxjasonxv/data/rss

I guess I'm just going to set 'don't create new categories and don't syndicate posts unless they match at least one familiar category' or just set 'don't create new categories'.

Perhaps you could also have a 'put all syndicated feeds into category: (insert drop box with all existing categories here)'

TO ANYONE GETTING THE FOLLOWING ERROR: " The XML-RPC ping failed (local): transport error - HTTP status code was not 200 "

You likely have a Spam blocking software (Spam Karma, Bad Behavior, etc.) that is preventing the process from completing it.

You need to 'whitelist' the IP address.

That or disable spam protection, update, then re-enable.

I recommend the whitelist :P.

If you can't do that, get a better Spam prevention script.

I recommend Bad Behavior

I've just moved my FWP test site from by EasyPHP powered test server (where it works perfectly happily) to my hosts server. Now FWP throughs up the same error that Amar above was seeing ...

Sending ping to ...

The XML-RPC ping failed (remote): Sorry. I don't syndicate .

Now ir seems that file access is throughing up an error message preventing it from sending/recieving the ping. Although I think this is probably a problem with WP and the config of my server - does anyone have any idea what i can do to fix it.

I've tried changing register_globals off - which is one of the few config settings different that i can see and changing the read right permissions of xmlrpc.phpto no avail.

Slightly off top quick hack I found that a xml feed i pulled in contained tables which weren't stripped out properly to fix i added the following

after line 1027 $content = strip_tags($content, '');

I also wanted to break the post up so that the front page showed the first page showed the first 100 characters then added a wordpress more link - then the next 400 characters - then added a link to the original posting at the bottom.

Added after the line above $content = substr($content, 0, 100)."... ".substr($content, 100, 500)."Excerpted from ".$item['title']."";

Seems that buggered up... to read the un stripped version

This is a great plug-in I am having one problem though.. everything works fine except... I have a cron jop set to request update-feeds.php every so often... my problem is, I get duplicate posts somehow, any ideas?

Feedwordpress works beautifully on normal wp but on wordpress MU (7/Sep CVS), can activate/deactivate , but cannot see the Syndicate Link in the DashBoard/Option page !

Anyone has the same pbm ?

This is a great script. Everything works just right...

except (you knew there was an except, right;)) I'm also using the mailing-list mod to mail posts out to subscribers and the posts don't get mailed when they are syndicated through feed wordpress. Have I missed a setting somewhere?

Thanks Dane

I think my problem was because I was using the wp-cache plug-in at the same time... This resulted in double posts..

I will try another caching plugin and see if it works

http://www.NewsTrough.com

Great plug-in!

My problem is that the comment_link tag always points to the permalink of the last post if feedwordpress is activated. If I set "Permalink points to" to "this website" in the feedwordpress options the coment_link tag works correctly. Does anyone have the same problem? Did anyone get a comment feed working together with feedwordpress?

Hi,

First of all, thanks for a great piece of work which has allowed me to create a really useful aggregation of a number of niche blogs.

I'm new to WP, and I'm not sure if I'm missing something obvious here (not for want of searching, honest!) - but I've got a number of feeds coming in now, and I'd really like to be able to stop some of them from showing on the home page, and to set up a different page for them.

So if I had feeds A, B, C, D and E coming in, I could have just A, B, C on the home page, and D and E on a different page.

Um. Is this possible?

Thanks for your time...:-)

Aran

I installed it. I ran it. And it worked fine. At this site. I set the cron job to 2 hours. Two hours later, the server hung (and I'm on a dedicated server). My webhost thinks it's eating too much MySQL resources.

First off, Thanks a lot, this is a fun plug-in with lots of uses.

Aran, to answer your question, I used an statement to modify the posts. I set each special feed to have its own category ("cats: whatever" placed in the notes field in the Edit page for that feed). Then, I went to Manage Categories and found what number it assigned to "whatever."

I use that with

Make category "5" whatever category you don't want displayed, then leave this blank (I use this to just show headlines, but nothing else) You can leave that out if you want.

Leave the default code for each post here

Then finally, create another page using the Add Page button, and do the reverse. Link to that page from wherever, and there you go (i'm hoping that works. My version works for me... :)

And to McChris, you might want to use Post-Teaser plug-in. I think it's what you are looking for. http://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/PostTeaser

Cheers.

Hmmm, my code got stripped out of the last post. I'm trying it again wrapping it in tags.

Make category "5" whatever category you don't want displayed, then leave this blank (I use this to just show headlines, but nothing else) You can leave that out if you want.

Leave the default code for each post here

Drat, that didn't work. Try going here, this is where I started. You can't use the code right out of the box because there are embedded PHP functions inside other ones. However, there are ways around it, I just can't post how. Sorry, hope this helps and didn't just mess up the comment page for this site. Just trying to be helpful. http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/in_category

By the way, any word on when the next version of FWP is coming out?

I've set up feedwordpress on two blogs and had no problems.

I've added it to a third, and am getting this error:

The XML-RPC ping failed (local): transport error - could not open socket

This third blog (the one that isn't working) is a fresh install with no other plugins of 1.5.2. The others were on BLAG (Fedora) boxes, this broken one is on debian.

Ideas?

Thanks,

-Jeff

Thanks RadGeek, I'm super excited to see .97 coming down the pipe. Thanks for all of your hard work.

Is it possible to have individual feeds either published or sent into the draft folder?

Some feeds I'm grabbing can go right into the system while others I have to weed out bad posts. PLEASE tell me this is possible.

OK, I fixed that last problem with a bit more reading of the site. Now my problem lies in duplicate articles being posted. Is this going to be fixed?

Very nice and usefull plugin. As Michael's permalinks problems I had them too, if permalinks point to the original sites the comments won't if its to the local site it will. I think that this is because wordpress link to the comment is relative to the permalinks. I have one question, if somebody have the answer i'll be glad to hear it(read it)even if the solution need to mess with the code. How can I add the syndicated posts to a predefined existing category and not to a newly created one?

cats: category name

in the notes

Hi,

Just installed this and it ROCKS!

My site uses the News Time themee, and so I have 3 columns narrow columns that my feeds are posted to.

I had a few questions/suggestions.

1. On my rss feeds, I checked on the box to receive "summary" articles. However, one site is sending me the whole article. It's getting annoying. Is there anyway to to manually limit the number of text I get?

2. Some articles have URL links on them, and they overlap on to the other column. Anyway to stop this?

3. One rss feed sent me images along with the article. What happened was that these large images overlapped with the whole page. So I dropped those feeds fast. Is there an option to turn off images contained in articles?

Thanks again for the great program!

• Gil

Gil,

For your first question, you can use the "XXX" plug-in. It lets you limit posts to a predefined character length.

Not sure on the second question,

Third: You should be able to adjust this in your CSS file. Open the css file for your theme, find the div that will hold your feed content and add this code:

if it's a div with an id="example" use this:

{ display: none; }

If it's a div with a class="example" use this:

div.example img { display:none; }

that should keep them from being displayed. Hope this helps.

whoops, that big red bar is not intentional.

the code is [pound sign (which is shift+3)]example img

XML RPC Ping Failed Http Status Code was not 200

I am getting the above error message on syndicated posts. This error does not occur when I create a post manually.

My ping list has 31 entries. Even when I create a post manually, it takes more than 1 minute to process all of the pings.

I tested each ping site one-at-a-time. When there is only one site in the ping list I never get the error. But if the list is much larger (about 20 entries) this is where I get the error message.

It seems this error occurs when my list is too large. Possibly because it is taking too long to get through all of the pings.

Is there a fix to this problem?

Hi Jason,

I've been searching for "XXX" plug-in.

Found some sites - http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/spam/ http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Spam_Tools

But haven't found "XXX" plugin.

Thanks, Gil

For your first question, you can use the “XXX” plug-in. It lets you limit posts to a predefined character length.

woow... didn't mean to add that purple banner down there!

cell phone reviews, that is the same error i'm now getting also, all the time.

Uno, are you on a shared server or a dedicated server?

dedicated.

Rad Geek, any word on the update? Very excited to check it out, and I'm very excited that it could solve a few of the problems I'm having... I've got it working on one server, and I love it, just can't get it to work on my main server, and I'm very anxious, and not very patient...

Thanks so much for your hard work.

I modified wp-rss2.php to enable features that are in the plugin.

Now the doesn't rely on the author, but the actually source name of the feed.

And added the source of the syndication link.

Just replace this line in your wp-rss2.php:

With:

            ">

Is it possible to configure update-feeds.php to receive only one post each time it is run?

I have heard that Wordpress 1.3 was released today. Will Feedwordpress work on this new updated version?

Sorry, I meant to say Wordpress 1.6

I've had my students create blogs at Blogger and I'm aggregating them all at http://www.levjoy.com/orsem, and it's been working great, except that when my students' photos usually don't show up -- though every once in a while they do. Any ideas why? I've checked it on Firefox for Mac and Windows, Safari, and Opera for Mac.

I'm really enjoying this plugin except for the permalink problem that everyone else is having.

I don't want every single permalink on my site to point to RadGeek and turning that option off in Options makes the imported posts look kinda dumb because there's no link back to the originating source (I use feedwordpress to pull my Dattica bookmarks in).

It occurs to me that there must be some way to turn th permalinks to my website, but add the syndication url to the post content...I just can't figure out how to do it.

Someone must know, no?

Thanks!

Jon

OK, did it.

I've set the permalinks to point to my website so every other permalink works.

I then modded the feedwordpress.php file. Before the section:

//$result = $wpdb->query(" //INSERT INTO $wpdb->posts //SET // guid = '$guid',

etc...

I added:

        $originalLink=$post['meta']['syndication_permalink'];
        $originalLink="<a href=".$originalLink." rel="nofollow">".$originalLink."</a>";

$content = post['post_content']; $content = $content."Link: ".$originalLink."--Open source social bookmarking at Dattica";

This does a couple of things:

1. It adds the 'Jon's Dattica Bookmarks' part to the title.

2. Adds the 'Link:' part with the originating URI after it.

It's ugly, but it works.

Here's a page with it in action:

http://www.jonwatson.ca/blog/?p=683

Hope that helps!

OK, the filters here borked the code, but maybe you can get the idea.

Hi, Great plugin!! However, I'm getting the following error: The XML-RPC ping failed (local): parse error. not well formed

I've seen posts about this before but there doesn't seem to be any answers.

Any help appreciated!

Can someone explain the difference between the following 3 options found in Options:

Contributor name (feed title) Contributor description (feed tagline) Homepage (feed link)

Hi all my install was working great although when I last went to update feeds i rcvd: ERROR: ” The XML-RPC ping failed (local): transport error - HTTP status code was not 200 “

In my error logs i had this: PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/rss.php on line 86

Anyone have any clues?

Thanks for the update. I have a question about setting up a Cron job.

In the new docs, it says to use the following format:

cd $HOME/www/wp/wp-content ; php -q update-feeds.php

In the previous update I was specifing the XML-RPC Update secret word such as this format:

/usr/bin/curl http://www.domain.com/wp-content/update-feeds.php?shibboleth=XXXX

We no longer need to specify the XML-RPC Update secret word when running update-feeds.php?

Can you give an example in using the HTTP authentication?

What is the function of:

Image URI

When I set this field to a gif file, it does not show up in any of the new posts.

I am using feedwordpress and am pulling affiliate information from a sponsor site. I LOVE this plug-in. I managed to get through the Cron Job issues with the new release and I almost have everything set up. Here is my trouble. The RSS feed that I am pulling has a ton of information. The problem is, FeedWordPress only displays information from the standard Title, Category and Discription tags. How can I get the script to read and display items from nonstandard RSS tags such as the example below? Example snippet from the RSS feed:

' http://www.Yoursite.com/opensite.aspx?SiteID=552&fld=GalleryLink&mid=867 '

This is my last step in this whole process and I’ve hit a brick wall.

oops, it did not put the tags in the above post It was (without the spaces between the word and the tags.

For some reason I cannot post the tags. There are tags that state "gallery1" in the rss feed which allow me to post dynamic images for each post.

Version 0.97 makes posts that cause my rss feed to become "Not well-formed". This appears to happen with feeds that use GET arguments in the link. Examination of the source feed shows that the offending links are enclosed in sections but feedwordpress strips out the CDATA information. XML readers then fail because they think the link is not well formed. The output of my feed viewed in Firefox is below. I would very much like to get this problem solved because this is a great script otherwise.
