FeedWordPress (HTTP request failure) ?

I’ve same problem… after upgrade to wordpress 2.8

Second that… (or third rather) any solutions?

I found what appears to be a janky workaround:

Summary:

1. Add the blog via the Add New Link menu in WordPress, assigning it the syndicated category
2. Open PhpMyAdmin, go to the links table, sort by ID to show the latest link, click edit
3. Edit the link_rss feed and manually put the feed address in there

More details at his site. I haven’t tested it completely, but it appears to get the job done.

I used FeedList on my site and ended up with fantastic results using a table and making multiple feeds in cells. I’m using it on wpmu and I’m sure its good in wp.

May suit your needs.

Thanks for the beta – but I need something that actually processes the feeds into Posts – not just displays them.

So far the above hack seems to be working for me.

Ah, misunderstood at first.

I have used wp-o-matic for that action. It reads the feeds and posts.
