Remember, remember the Fifth of November: FeedWordPress 2008.1105 fixes a few reported issues
Update 2008-12-14: FeedWordPress 2008.1105 is now out of date. You can download the latest release — 2008.1214 at the time of this writing — from the project homepage.
As a slightly belated gift for Guy Fawkes Day, here's the latest release of FeedWordPress, version 2008.1105, now available for download.
(Why 2008.1105 when I'm announcing the release on 6 November 2008? Because the release itself was completed yesterday; all I did this morning was to document the changes and prepare the announcement.)
Besides the beginnings of some re-organization of the interface, the main purpose of this release is to make fixes available for several existing issues that were reported by users. (In particular, thanks to Alan Cordle, RaynerApe
, Glenn Marcus, Waldo Jaquith, and several other users for bringing some of these issues to my attention, and for suggesting some of these fixes.
Here are the major changes since FeedWordPress 2008.1101:
INTERFACE RESTRUCTURING AND SYNDICATION --> AUTHORS PAGE: As a first step towards modularizing and better organizing the user interface, a new "Authors" subpage has been created under the Syndication menu, which controls settings for syndicated authors, both at the global default level and at level of individual syndicated feeds.
BUG RELATED TO THE ATTRIBUTION OF POSTS TO THE WRONG AUTHOR FIXED: Some users encountered an issue in which posts by different authors on different blogs -- especially blogs generated by Blogger -- were mistakenly attributed to a single author. The problem was caused by the way in which FeedWordPress matches syndicated authors to user accounts in the WordPress database: normally, if two feeds each list an author with the same e-mail address, they are counted as being the same person. Normally this works well, but it creates an issue in cases where blogging software assigns a single anonymous e-mail address to users who do not want their real e-mail address published. This is, for example, what Blogger does (by giving all users a default e-mail address of noreply@blogger.com if they don't want their own e-mail address listed). FeedWordPress now allows the user to correct for this problem with a couple of new settings under Syndication --> Authors, which allow users to turn off e-mail based author matching for particular addresses, or, if desired, to turn it off entirely. By default, e-mail based author matching is still turned on, but disabled for a list of known generic e-mail addresses. Right now, the "list" consists entirely of noreply@blogger.com; if you know other addresses that should be added, please contact me to let me know.
Please note that if you have already encountered this issue on your blog, upgrading FeedWordPress will prevent it from re-occurring in the future, but you still need to do two other things to fix the existing problem on your blog.
First, for each feed where posts have been mis-attributed, you need to change the existing author mapping rules to re-map a a syndicated author's name to the proper target account. Go to Syndication --> Authors, select the feed you want to change from the drop-down list, and then change the settings under the "Syndicated Authors" section. (You will probably need to select "will be assigned to a new user..." to create a new user account with the appropriate name.)
Second, for each feed where posts have been mis-attributed, you need to re-assign already-syndicated posts that were mis-attributed to the correct author. You can do that from Syndication --> Authors by using the author re-assignment feature, described below.
AUTHOR RE-ASSIGNMENT FOR A PARTICULAR FEED: The author settings page for each syndicated feed, under Syndication --> Authors, now includes an section titled "Fixing mis-matched authors," which provides an interface for re-assigning or deleting all posts attributed to a particular author on a particular feed.
SUPPORT FOR
<atom:source>ELEMENT IN SYNDICATED FEEDS: Some feeds (for example, those produced by FeedWordPress) aggregate content from several different sources, and include information about the original source of the post in an<atom:source>element. A new setting under Syndication --> Options allows you to control what FeedWordPress will report as the source of posts syndicated from aggregator feeds in your templates and feeds: you can have FeedWordPress report that the source of a post is the aggregator feed itself, or you can have it report that the source of a post is the original source that the aggregator originally syndicated the post from.By default, FeedWordPress will report the aggregator, not the original source, as the source of a syndicated item.
LOAD BALANCING AND TIME LIMITING FEATURES FOR UPDATES: Some users have encountered issues due to running up against PHP execution time limits during the process of updating large syndicated feeds, or a very large set of syndicated feeds. FeedWordPress now has a feature that allows you to limit the total amount of time spent updating a feed, through the "Time limit on updates" setting under Syndication --> Options. By turning on this setting and adjusting the time limit to a low enough figure to avoid your PHP installation's time-out setting. (PHP execution time limits are usually in the vicinity of 30 seconds, so an update time limit of 25 seconds or so should provide plenty of time for updates while allowing a cushion of time for other, non-update-related functions to do their work.)
If feed updates are interrupted by the time limit, FeedWordPress uses some simple load balancing features to make sure that updates to other feeds will not be blocked by the time-hogging feed, and will also make sure that when the interrupted update is resumed, FeedWordPress will skip ahead to resume processing items at the point at which it was interrupted last time, so that posts further down in the feed will eventually get processed, and not get blocked by the amount of time it takes to process the items higher up in the feed.
guidINDEX CREATION BUTTON: FeedWordPress frequently issues queries on theguidcolumn of the WordPress posts database (since it uses post guid URIs to keep track of which posts it has syndicated). In very large FeedWordPress installations, you can often significantly improve performance by creating a database index on theguidcolumn, but normally you would need to poke around with MySQL or a tool like phpMyAdmin to do this. FeedWordPress can now save you the trouble: to create an index on theguidcolumn, just go to Syndication --> Options, and mash the button at the bottom of the "Back End" section.
Enjoy! If you have any issues with the release, or if there is anything that you would like to see included in a future release, please use the comments form or drop me a line to let me know about it.
Please remember that your generous gifts to the project tip jar make ongoing development and support like this possible.
Issues and Comments
Hello there, I've just
Hello there,
I've just switching to your plugins, after a couple month using planetplanet aggregator. And I get some strange behavior.
Some of blog that I insert into feedwordpress plugins, doesn't feed correctly. Some of them are within .wordpress.com blogs, and some are .blogspot.com blogs.
For example this blog rotyyu.wordpress.com, in my planet, they only have their Title and a letter "A". Just take a look this site: http://surabaya.linux.or.id/planet/
I've tried to upgrade the plugin and upgrade the wordpress. But that doesn't solve the problem.
Is there some setting that i've missed or misconfigured?
Thank you
Budiwijaya

Hello
Is there a way to keep the permalinks pointed towards my site but at the end of the snippet from the feed have it point back to the original site to give that site the credit is deserves?
I have been trying to figure it out and it looks like you can't do both.
Is there also a way to have the entire post from a feed shown?
Thanks Brad
Budiwijaya, The problem you
Budiwijaya,
The problem you describe almost certainly the result of not having the bundled MagpieRSS upgrades in place. You should be able to fix the problem by copying the contents of
feedwordpress/MagpieRSS-upgradein your plugins directory to thewp-includes/subdirectory of your WordPress installation. Cf. Compatability bugs and possible quick fixes for issues with FeedWordPress after upgrading to WordPress 2.5 for a detailed discussion of the basic problem.If for some reason this doesn’t fix your problem, let me know, and send along URIs for one or more of the feeds where you encounter this problem, so I can ferret out what the source of the problem might be.
Brad G, Is there a way to
Brad G,
If you want the permalinks to point towards your site, you can still include a link back to the original post by changing your WordPress templates to make use of the FeedWordPress template tags. So, for example, if you are using FWP with WordPress 2.6.3, you can go to the Theme Editor (Design --> Theme Editor) and add something like the following line to the post loop in your template:
the_syndication_permalink()will print out the URI of the post on the original website.the_syndication_source()will print out the name of the source that you syndicated the post from.the_author()is a standard WordPress template tag that will display the author's name. For a full listing of the template tags you can use, check out the FeedWordPress API documentation.If you're not familiar with working with WordPress templates, contact me privately and I'll do what I can to help you out.
By default, FeedWordPress shows the entire post from a feed if the feed makes the entire posts available. If all you get is snippets, then that is most likely because the feed itself doesn't include a full version of the post, and unfortunately FeedWordPress can't publish data it can't find in the feed. The only way to resolve this would be to contact the author of the feed you're syndicating and convince them to switch over to publishing full content instead of just excerpts on their feeds.
(In theory, you could also write a FeedWordPress filter that uses feed permalinks and some creative screen scraping to figure out the full content of a post, even if it's not included in the feed. But this would be fairly complicated to make work out well, and would require some substantial PHP coding to get done.)
Thankyou for pointing me to
Thankyou for pointing me to the right direction. :D I did search in this site but, maybe the keyword is not the right combination. And maybe you should put this solution to the FAQ.
Thankyou.

These are some really exciting improvements for those of us who run really large instances of FeedWordPress, and I'm grateful to you for making them.
FWIW, I filed a trouble ticket with WordPress about the GUID problem. It's only logical that a GUID column in a database should be indexed, so one would think that this would be a no-brainer, but unfortunately it's not scheduled for modification until v2.8.
Many thanks for this plugin,
Many thanks for this plugin, I just installed it and it works very well (not gone live yet). One thing I can't solve : I take the option to permalink to the original source, but to allow comments on my site. But when I clic on the comment option in the post metadata, it links to the original post and does not open the comment popup. Any idea ?
By way of warning, one of my
By way of warning, one of my upgrades has gone quite wrong. The admin page lists none of my 316 aggregated RSS feeds, only "There are no websites currently listed for syndication." DreamHost's restore from backup function is broken, aggravatingly, so my ~5,000 readers are just out of luck for the time being. I'm threading my way through feedwordpress.php to find out what the cause of the problem is, since I can see that wp_links is fully intact.
I can see that this problem isn't affecting others, so I post this not to warn folks away from upgrading, but just to reinforce the importance of standard upgrade procedures: backup your file structure and your database before installing a major update of WordPress and FeedWordPress. And if you think you've got a backup via DreamHost, check first. :)
Problem solved. Or at least
Problem solved. Or at least worked around. :)
While using the prior version of FeedWordPress I assigned many contributing sites to both link and post categories. That never presented a problem in running updates. But the new version asks for a category of links to syndicate (presumably to allow hybrid aggregators and blogs), and I don't have a single category to which sites belong; they're broken up among two dozen. The solution was to edit line 763 to remove array("category" => $contributors), leaving only $links = get_bookmarks(); That allowed all links to be passed to FeedWordPress, not just a single category. Problem solved.
Long-term, I'm not sure what the solution is. My guess is that FeedWordPress needs to allow multiple categories for syndication, but perhaps there's a more obvious solution that I'm missing.
RadGeek, The new version is
RadGeek, The new version is amazing and it has solved most of the problems associated with using Feedwordpress with large amount of feeds, although from my experience it still hits occasionally the PHP process limit or timeout, but that is to be expected with that sort of solution. What I would really like to see is batch processing per guaranteed time periods to avoid process spamming and process timeouts, where each batch can be as low as 1 feed at a time, in order to allow for guaranteed low-process, timeout-protected processing of huge amount of feeds at a time (although long time, given that each batch will have it's own guaranteed time period set by user, say 25 seconds) instead of the current just time limited method which requires manually updating several times in a row in order to get all the feed updated at once.
To summarize, I wan to be able to tell Feedwordpress to update 500 feeds at once, and instead having to spam Update button 50 times, each time Feedwordpress updating 10 feeds in its alotted time period of 25 seconds (to avoid PHP timeouts), after clicking Update Feedwordpress processes 50 batches of 10 feeds each, over 1250 seconds, as long as I am on the same page which reloads 50 times automatically (or uses AJAX without reloading, the better method).
What I would really like to see in the next version, except batch processing, is the ability to use a GET link to trigger updating. Such mechanic is used by the XML-Sitemap Wordpress plugin, allowing the user to bookmark a link of his plugin and spam it at desired time period, and each time he loads the GET link the plugin will recreate his Sitemap XML. The GET link doesn't open normal Wordpress Admin interface, just gives back a blank page with a response like DONE or ERROR: . Users of Feedwordpress would benefit from a GET link in many ways, such as: (a) bookmarking a GET link for each of their blogs, then loading them once in a while instead having to log in their admin interface; (b) setting their browser to reload the GET link each 20 minutes to have manual reload period unaffected by scarcity of users which leads to irregular wp-cron loading; (c) use it with Cron of their domain, setting up totally independent updating period for their Feedwordpress installation. The GET link should also use batch processing in order to manage the load.
Finally, a question. I have noticed that despite I set Feedwordpress to update each 20 minutes, my feeds never actually schedule for update for a time period of 120 minutes. Is that intentional to avoid spamming feeds? Thanks in advance for your feedback and answers!
raynerape, I want to follow
raynerape, I want to follow up on this:
That's because not every feed is updated every 20 minutes. FeedWordPress assigns each feed a random wait time, and that random time is stored in the metadata for that feed. (You can see if if you go Manage -> Links, select a link, and choose Advanced. It's under the Notes field, as "update/ttl:".
A helpful option within WordPress would be the ability to specify a center point for that random wait period. I think it's probably reasonable to not allow people to specify an absolutely regularity, or even the range, because I suspect that many users will not appreciate the havoc they could wreak by giving everything a two minute update period. So if a default wait period of 30 minutes is specified, perhaps the range for that randomized element becomes 20-40 minutes.
On another topic, I've been experiencing an intermittent bug—the worst kind—that at the moment I'm nowhere near solving. When loading FeedWordPress via the "Syndication" menu I get an error about feedwordpressautoupdat() having already been specified on line 199 of feedwordpress,php, and so it can't be specified again on line 200. My guess—and this is only a guess—is that the problem occurs when FeedWordPress is running, updating feeds, indicating some sort of a namespace collision. I'm afraid I don't have a patch to offer, just a bug to report.

This is not always true. Plugins that have higher priority than this plugin is not affected. An example is the "Similar Posts", http://rmarsh.com/plugins/similar-posts/ - it will always show permalinks to my own website.

I just want to add to my previous comment and say that I noticed that the "Similar Posts" plugin used this function get_permalink('postid').
If FeedWordPress is only overriding the funciton without arguments, then that might be the cause of my bug. According to the API page, this seems to be the case.
Could you please add support for get_permalink using a ID as a argument?
Thanks.

I feel guilty continuing to report bugs without simultaneously providing a patch, but here goes.
On a small percentage of syndicated posts–more than 1%, less than 5%—the link is incorrect. Rather thank linking to the source URL, it links to the URL on my aggregator. I have not found a pattern in this behavior, though surely there is one.
I'll keep investigating this, and I hope to be able to provide a fix.

Hello, I have used this plugin on my site and it does wonders.
Now the problem is... how do I clean old posts? I have accumulated thousands of posts and I begin to experience slowdowns...
An auto cleaning option would be very handy!
The feeds from
The feeds from blogspot/blogger.com now sends HTML-tags with the tags encoded as they were text and not tags, < and > are < and >, so a is for example given in the feed as "<br />".
This makes the content of the tags in the blogger feeds show up as parts of posts, which looks stupid and makes long image links appear in the posts instead of the images.
Is there any way to fix this? (if it should be fixed, it may be that it is just blogspot who are sending unvalid feeds?)
I use the "My Link Order"
I use the "My Link Order" plugin on one of my sites and when I add a syndicated feed in "FeedWordPress" it adds the "Syndicated Link category" to the sidebar. Is there anyway to prevent that category from showing up in the sidebar without turning either of the plugin's off or removing the syndicated feeds?

Dear RadGeek, thank you for useful plugin. I used 0.993 and recently switched to the new version. I've noticed bug - one of the feeds syndicated by my site is in Dublin Core format: http://www.rsc.org/publishing/journals/rssfeed.asp?FeedType=LatestArticl.... This feed contains creation date in following format: 2008-12-02. As I understood from the source code $epoch variable has null value initially. If the plugin fail to determine creation date from feed, it takes current system time. In my case, final posts have 1 jan 1970 date, which I recognize as null value of the date. After switching to the very new version nothing changes. Do you have any ideas how to fix it?

FeedWordPress is very close
FeedWordPress is very close to being exactly what I need. However I have several feeds that do not provide a full body of text in the feed.
Well I was thinking, what if right after the feed item was fetch but before it was processed and posted into WP, FWP would check for user filters in a subdir under FWP and run them.
It would be up to the end users to make the filters, but then it would open up a wide range of options.
Scripts to handle feeds that don't include the full text, scripts to clean the text (strip bad html, etc..), pretty much whatever some one can code.
And if it's good enough they can submit their script to you for possible inclusion in FWP.
What do you think? I though about hacking something in myself, but just started looking into WP but I'm running a test case install of 2.7RC and FWP doesn't run under that version.
Thank you for your time.

hey, to get it working with 2.7 it is pretty easy. There might be a better fix (I am not sure if snoopy is still included somewhere/somehow with 2.7, but doesn't look like it) but this works:
download snoopy at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2091, upload the snoopy file (Snoopy.class.php) to your server
then on line 2568 of feedwordpress.com add
require_once("/home/Snoopy.class.php");
(that is the line above " $client = new Snoopy();")
(change the /home/ to your location. if you don't know the full directory, just put snoopy.class.php in the same folder as your feedwordpress.com file, then paste the url from the error you get when you add a new syndication. it works then.
** please make sure you have the latest version of snoopy. the previous version had some serious exploit (or so i am led to believe, haven't looked into it) **

My website is in free
My website is in free hosting. I have install feedwordpress successfully.When I try to add a syndication, it run ok. but when I want to use the feed, it is nothing happen. Is this problem caused by some free hosting firewall or something? Thx
I am facing the same issue as
I am facing the same issue as Scot hacker:
Imported feeds rendering with HTML tags displayed rather than rendered.
Tried with Wordpress 2.6.5 and 2.7 with multiple installations but it just would not work.
I was on Yahoo hosting for test and it worked there. However it does not work on my new host.
I can not understand what could cause this
Having an issue with
Having an issue with permalinks pointing back to my own site. I have the settings checked to use the original source, and if I do a manual update, it works. But when it updates automatically, the permalink points back to my pages.
Not sure what's doing it, kinda confused. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi all, I figured out one
Hi all,
I figured out one thing, the issue where it doesn't print ‘<’ and ‘>’ isn't related to this plugin OR WordPress. It's a known bug in some server OS. Some people thought it might be php itself, but it's definitely the server.
I noticed after recompiling php on my server, then anything XMLRPC-related strips tags like this. Fun!
Right now the workaround is here: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45996
Have been able to identify
Have been able to identify another symptom. The posts whose permalinks point back at themselves are all missing the custom fields for the feed information.
The odd thing is that I am using this plugin on multiple sites in a multiblog installation, and it works fine on other blogs. It is only this one particular blog that seems to have an issue.
Next attempt will be to reinstall the plugin and see what happens.
I have a very quick questions
I have a very quick questions I hope someone can answer.
Is there anyway to turn off automatic posting by FeedWordPress straight into my main blog? I only want to add syndicate feeds to a custom teplate which isn't my main blog by using code.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
(Sorry about the wording of the question)
GeekSquare, nm, and others
GeekSquare, nm, and others encountering issues where HTML tags are stripped out - I've identified the cause of the problem and have fixed it on my host. There is a bug in PHP's libxml library. If you're running on a cPanel system that auto-updates, you may have inherited the problem. It seems that only some feeds are run through libxml, while others use other parsers, which explains why this is only happening with some feeds. See these pages for more info:
http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread.php?t=95949&highlight=rss http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45996&thanks=3
On my server, the same bug was causing blog posts made with desktop clients (using WordPress xmlrpc interface) exhibit the same problem.
The solution is to recompile PHP with libexpat. There are instructions buried in those links for doing this on cPanel hosts. If you don't run the server yourself, you'll have to let your host know so they can do it.
Now let's let radgeek off the hook for this one :)
Hey! Is it possible to add
Hey! Is it possible to add functions like that: - Must contain at least one of these words: /words/ - and at least one of these words: /words/ - but can not contain any of these words: /words/
Thanks!
I've get 'Are you sure you
I've get 'Are you sure you want to do this?' and blank page on adding new feed. How to fix it, please help, thanks
OK, really confused at this
OK, really confused at this point.
To recap - using FWP on multiple sites in a multiblog configuration. Works great on all but one.
On that one blog, all feeds that are automatically updated point back to themselves, with no custom fields for the feed. If I do a manual update, the information is there and the feeds are processed properly.
I have reinstalled FWP, with no change. I have tried it with multiple themes, in case that was the issue. No change. As I mentioned above, other blogs of mine that have FWP feeds are working properly.
Sounds to me like something happened in the database, but I'm not adept enough to figure it out. Any help would be great, including pointers on where to start a debug,
Thanks!
p.s. Love FWP on the other blogs!
Did you ever get this figured
Did you ever get this figured out? This started happening on my site about a week ago. Same symptoms.
