After updating, some issues

that isn’t an error, its simply a php warning that a variable isn’t defined….it doesn’t have material effect on the function of the plugin (usually).

what is the sabai web directory plugin (sounds like a plugin conflict)..I’ll try using it and see if I can reproduce the problem.

Hi

I have another problem which seems to be related to the updated version of the plugin.
Before the recent major updating, external feeds would automatically get updated, but currently, it seems this only happens if they are manually updated on the settings pages (/admin.php?page=wprssmi_options5). Currently, if dont, I have rss feeds showing quite old news of several days ago.

What settings do I need to activate to achieve this?

Secondly, if I may ask, what is “autoposts” for? Is it necessary to activate this, if I only use external feeds?

Thank you in advance.

AutoPost is the way to make the feeds become posts. If you are not getting update, then read this:

Hi

I have not yet gone through all steps suggested on the different pages/sites, but let me mention what I have done.

Since I thought the issue might be caused by some incorrect steps during updating & importing previous feeds, which never quite run properly, I decided to simply re-install the module & re-do the feeds.
After deactivation, I failed several times to get the plugin deleted. It always ended with a blank page & nothing deleted. So I did so manually. Unusual(??)

After the initial installation, fresh feeds where automatically imported as I was adding them, but I later noted it was not updating, in spite of the settings of “30 min” intervals.

The fact is: there are no other problems with cron as much as I know, because for example, I am alerted of plugin & other updates eg, even several times a day (unless this has nothing to do with cron.). I also have other sites, including Drupal-based using the same account & have no cron issue. They use the normal default Drupal & server settings.

I installed the crontrol plugin you mention somewhere & disabled all plugins & re-enabled them again.
Funny enough, under “Name” as you see at this linkyou do not see names of the module behind in some cases, which forced me to this step as I saw nothing referring to the rss importer.

I established that the 4 entries between the arrows only appear when the rss importer is enabled, so I assume they have to do with it.
I suppose that means according to this they are supposed to be included in the cron process working for other modules … (or not?)

Then I checked out the wp-config.php script …
there was nothing looking like “define(‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true);” or meant to block cron …

In one of the articles you recommend reading, they suggest adding “define(‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true);” …

I added it. It does not seem to have helped.

As of today, I have

“Last Update of the Feed Database: Sep 23, 2014 @ 7:28 pm; 15 Hours ago”

I suspected the Fastcache plugin settings where affecting something, but even after disabling it, …./wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1 … did not lead to updating …

Does that help suggest where the problem could be or the right measure to try out, since there is I think no general site- or serverwide problem with cron & … as mentioned, with the older version of the module, before the major update – there was no issue?

Thank you in advance

Well, I have for the time being gone back to a backup of the site of many months back & fished out Version 2.64, whose feeds update with no problem at all.
