Custom Titles in RSS

  • Hi,
    I have a problem with the automatic rss. I use WEIBO and would like to have a content. The problem is that weibo RSS does not have a title so when I use auto publish, posts have the title thats is the post content, which means that have extensive amount of character and length.

    Is there a chance to associate a custom title to RSS that will be always used? Then the post content and post title will be different.

    Hi, did you have a change to look at the issue? is there a way to make the custom titles specified by the user in that plugin? Thanks! Peter.

    there is no way to do this…if there is no title, the plugin won’t work very well because the feed is not using standard RSS formats.

    I found the same problem – the author sometimes forgot to add a title to their facebook posts which gave a “not found” in wordpress.

    I am trying this in my functions.php which gives any post without a title the default “Read Now” – seems to be working so far…. ??

    `function add_custom_title( $data, $postarr ) {
    if($data[‘post_type’] == ‘post’) {
    if(empty($data[‘post_title’])) {
    $data[‘post_title’] = ‘Read Now’;
    }
    }
    return $data;
    }
    add_filter( ‘wp_insert_post_data’, ‘add_custom_title’, 10, 2 );`

    Hey, cool, the author hasn’t abandoned this plugin. Allen, can you please address some of the other questions pending here?

    Since I changed to a Managed WP hosting plan, RSS Multi Importer has all but stopped working. If I don’t manually fetch posts for every single feed, I get nothing.

    Help please.
