    Hi

    I don’t know if you take feature requests here, but I have a suggestion that I think would be a nice addition to this already great plugin.

    I would like to have the ability to only show the items currently in the rss feed. If something gets removed from the feed it also gets removed from the site.

    This could also be implemented as an automatic cleanup function. Let’s say every night all items are removed from the site and RSS is refreshed.

    If any one has an idea of how to do this today, I would very much appriciate feedback on that as well. Ie. running some php script with php-cgi in cron or something like that.

    I made a little quick fix for this myself. Reusing some of the code I created a new cron event that calls the function to delete all posts and then refesh them all. I have only tested this as a “once a day” event.

    Add the following to inc\cron.php (I added at line 153)

    function rssmi_schedule_prune_feeds() {

	$feedperiodnumber = 24;
	$feed_display_period = 'daily';

	if ( ! wp_next_scheduled( 'wp_rss_multi_event_prunefeeds' ) ) {
		wp_schedule_event( time(), $feed_display_period, 'wp_rss_multi_event_prunefeeds' );
	}

	add_action( 'wp_rss_multi_event_prunefeeds', 'wp_rss_prune_all_in_db' );
}

add_action( 'init', 'rssmi_schedule_prune_feeds' );

function wp_rss_prune_all_in_db(){
	rssmi_delete_all_custom_posts();
	rssmi_fetch_all_feed_items();
}

    Also have a look at rssmi_schedule_import_feeds() in inc\cron.php to see how it probably should ahve been done ??
