To fix on php 7, edit the rss-importer.php plugin, line 72 from:
set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
to:
if(get_magic_quotes_runtime()) {
set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
}set_magic_quotes_runtime was deprecated in PHP 7 hence the breaking of the plugin, hopefully someone can release an update for it.
]]>I ran the PHP Compatibility Checker for PHP 7 and found this plugin had an error and warning. Can you please help me address and resolve the issue or recommend another to replace it if this plugin will no longer be supported? The following is the error and warning details on the report:

Receive the following warning followed by a very long list of files even on a freshly downloaded version of WordPress from the repository.
hashes-4.8.php missing
The file containing hashes of all WordPress core files appears to be missing; modified core files will no longer be detected and a lot more suspicious strings will be detected
Here’s the error:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function set_magic_quotes_runtime() in /path/to/site/wp-content/plugins/rss-importer/rss-importer.php:71
Stack trace: #0 /path/to/site/wp-content/plugins/rss-importer/rss-importer.php(177): RSS_Import->get_posts()

#3 {main} thrown in /path/to/site/wp-content/plugins/rss-importer/rss-importer.php on line 71
Based on this StackOverflow thread, I updated that line to the following snippet and the plugin ran ok:
if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.3.0', '<')) {
set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
}With that change, the plugin did appear to work ??
]]>Hi ,
I just want to share the solution to my problem.
When i import the rss…
The categories were created but the title stayed empty.
I modified the code like this and it worked fine.
You just need to find this line foreach ($categories as $category) {
under the line you should find and replace the line $categories[$cat_index] = $wpdb->escape( html_entity_decode( $category ) );
by this one : $categories[$cat_index] = str_replace(array('<![CDATA[', ']]>'), '', $wpdb->escape( trim($category) ));
Hope this can help.

I’m using RSS Importer in my website and I get the following:

Any ideas of the problem?

]]>Hi there,
I’m having trouble importing a large RSS file into WordPress (1000 complete articles), using this RSS tool.
Even though the <link> I want to preserve is specified in the XML file, WP simply adds its default URL, e.g. ?p=6 URL at the end.
All the rest of the content is imported perfectly.
Any ideas how I can preserve the current URLs on import?
Many thanks!
]]>Is there a way to disable all the links in the feed. All of them, including the very first one that leads to the feed source?
It would be a plus if it could also still keep the html form.

Hi,
This question has been asked before but I’ve got a solution.
Open the rss-importer.php and find the line that says
$post_author = 1
And replace with this code:
preg_match('|<dc:creator>(.*?)</dc:creator>|is', $post, $get_post_author);
$post_author_name = sanitize_user($wpdb->escape( html_entity_decode( trim( $get_post_author[1] ) ) ));
$post_author = username_exists( $post_author_name );
if (!$post_author) {
$random_password = wp_generate_password( $length=12, $include_standard_special_chars=false );
$post_author = wp_create_user( $post_author_name, $random_password, $post_author_name."@xxxxxxx.com");
}It’ll create a new user for each distinct username passed, with a fake email address.
]]>Hello,
I’m working on migrating my custom website to WordPress. I create RSS from my database, and use RSS Importer to import the content to WP.
However, some items in the RSS can not be imported. I think the problem is the excessive size of the article. Is there a maximum size limit for the <description> tag?
thanks for your great work!

Am I missing something? These plugins have been downloaded thousands of times, yet there are few complaints about them in the forum. This leads me to believe that lots of people have been successful in using them.
Can someone please explain what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks.
