[Plugin: WP-o-Matic] google news feeds not working properly

  • I think there may be a problem parsing feeds from google news. Here’s one example:
    https://news.google.com/news?svnum=10&as_scoring=n&ned=us&aq=f&hl=en&q=fairfax&ie=UTF-8&output=atom

    I’ve also tried with the output changed to RSS from atom with no change. I don’t get any errors either in the php log, wpo’s log or in the browser, but, despite that the feed has entries, fetching never gets any items.

    I’ve tried having the simplepie core plugin activated or not with no obvious change in behavior.

    I tried fetching a different, non-google news rss feed and it worked fine, but no google news feed I’ve tried has worked.

    Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this

    if you look at your RSS url in the campaign_feed table in your MySQL database you’ll notice that there are some extra characters that have been added to your URL that are preventing WP-O-Matic from pulling the feed. Everywhere in the URL where there is a & the plugin has a bug and has added this amp;

    Just delete that out through the database and everything should work fine after that
