Categories wont work

  • I have problem with shortcodes. If I insert in post – [wp_rss_multi_importer category=”1″] I get this message You’ve either entered a category ID that doesn’t exist or have no feeds configured for this category. Edit the shortcode on this page with a category ID that exists, or go here and and get an ID that does exist in your admin panel.

    But if I insert [wp_rss_multi_importer] everything is working.

    And the category 1 is full with feed.

    The site is: https://vsi-kuponi.com/

    Yes I did. But this doesnt help.
    The problem is, that I have plugin category 1 inserted/created, but when I insert this shortcode (that I copy directyl from plugin, next to category) in post, I get error that nothing exist’s,…

    are you sure something exists in the rss feed? Put dumpthis=”1″ into the shortcode as a parameter and look at the page…if nothing is there (or it says the array is NULL), then that means the RSS feed could not be read (likely because either something is wrong with the feed, or something is wrong with your server trying to get the feed).

    The RSS feed works fine, couse It’s working on other sites.
    If I insert any other number, it’s the same. And I inserted 6 category’s with feeds.

    I did as you told me, I get an error. See the site https://vsi-kuponi.com/

    ok…as the error shows, you have a feed that isn’t working…to see this, go here

    https://simplepie.org/demo/

    this is the program (simplepie) that parses the rss feed for the plugin…if it doesn’t work with simplepie, it won’t work in my plugin. So that is step one to figuring out what is happening.

    Simplepie is throwing out errors even for other websites – not those which are written in my plugin.

    The same feed url is on moj-kuponcek.si and it’s working fine there.

    The problem is, that for all of these sites, if you write [wp_rss_multi_importer category=”x”] it doesnt work, but if you write [wp_rss_multi_importer] it’s working great.

    I think that this has something to do with the latest update. Couse since then, this with category’s is not working any more,….

    Please watch this video, where I have 2 feeds, assigned to different categories, using the latest update of the plugin. As you see, the category parameters do what they are supposed to do:

    I haven’t heard from anybody else who has said the categories are not working since that last update…as since I cannot reproduce the problem I’m not sure what else I can do. As I said, typically when this happens it’s due to the feed and/or the server…that you can get the feed to work on one server but not another points to the server problem.
