I can’t get feeds to pull

yes, shutdown event isn’t fine for cronjobs, but we can tune it:

set_option('syndicating_started_at', time());
if (get_option('syndicating_started_at')+300<time())
  syndicate_again();

why not?

It works in a similar way via WP pseudo cron:

wp_schedule_event(time(), csyn_get_cuctom_cron_interval_name(), 'update_by_wp_cron');

The code you have mentioned above (the shutdown action) triggers by the server cron only (if “pull-feeds” magic number is given). It can’t be triggered by Google bot or something else, just because it doesn’t know the magic code, which is unique for every site. The only person who knows it is you.

Hi, I am having the same problem with v. 5.26
I have it working in a test site on hostgator but when I installed it in the production site on godaddy it refuses to pull any feed. 0 … posts were added.

thanks for your assistance in advance.

Just notice this thread is marked as resolved. Should I begin a new one for my issue?

Your feed pulls just easily with the default settings. Everybody can check it. So I don’t see any issue. Please make sure that your host does meet the system requirements. Also check out the server logs.

I appreciate your looking into this.

I took the server requirements to godaddy customer support and they naturally said their server plan exceeds everything and it must me me or the plugin or not holding my mouth right. its just baffling why it wont work.

thanks anyway

Email me with an admin access to your WP control panel – I’ll take a look: [email protected]

I just sent admin access.

thanks

Can anyone offer a suggestion on how I might diagnose the problem my self?

The plugin didn’t add new articles because you did tell it to “Do not syndicate post that doesn’t match at least one category defined above“. So every time when it tried to add a post, it checked if at least one of the post categories match yours (the categories defined in your blog). Since there was no matches, they were not added. That’s obvious, isn’t it?

I’ve fixed your feed settings to “Create new categories defined in syndicating post” and the new posts are being added now. You may like to switch it to “Post to default WordPress category” is you wish so.

I am extremely grateful to you for pointing out my error.It was not obvious to me. I knew to select my own WP category but the “undefined categories” is what tripped me up. However I do apologize for not catching on.

Many thanks for a great plugin too.
