Can't get short code to work

    All I get are errors:

    Using this as a shortcode:
    [jp-rss-feed url="https://www.mydesert.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=RSS06&template=rss_gd_re"]

    If I can get it to work, I’d like to display 3 items with a clickable read more link at the end that opens in a new window. Can this plugin do that? If so, can you show a suggested shortcode?

    The error I’m getting is:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined method WP_Error::get_item_quantity() in /home/xxxx/public_html/xxxxxx.com/wp-content/plugins/jps-get-rss-feed/jp_get_rss_feed_items.php on line 148

    Sorry about that. I tried it on my site and got an error as well. Can you try it with a different feed and see if it works at all?

    Do you still need help with this?

    I ended up using a different plugin.

    OK. Can you let me know which one? I’d like to see how they are doing it so I could improve my plugin.

    Sure, it’s rssimport.

    I looked at that plugin. Does it even work? It still uses fetch_rss which has been deprecated since WordPress 2.8.

    The feed you are trying to pull doesn’t validate (https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mydesert.com%2Fapps%2Fpbcs.dll%2Fsection%3Fcategory%3DRSS06%26template%3Drss_gd_re), that may be why my plugin doesn’t work.

    Yes, working fine — updating posts, etc.

    Does the opennewwindow functionality work?
    As in:
    'opennewwindow' => true,

    I can’t get this to work.

    I just checked version 1.3.7 on my site and it works. Please show the exact code you are using. Thx

    I noticed the 1.3.7 upgrade showed up last night in my install of WP. I upgraded and that now works. Now, if I increase my feeds beyond 4, I get weird results. Like about 8 or 9 feeds.

    Code pretty straight forward – see below:

    <?php
if (function_exists('jp_get_rss_feed_items')) {
  jp_get_rss_feed_items(array(
    'url' => "https://feedurl.com/page.rss",
    'numitems' => 4,
    'nofollow' => true,
    'cssclass' => 'myclass',
    'getdesc' => false,
    'opennewwindow' => true,
    'show' => true
  ));
}
?>

    Sorry, I’m not understanding you. Are you saying that when you call the plugin with more than four different feeds, you get results from 8 or 9 feeds?
