Multiple Posts

what is the rss feed where you have multiple posts?

Hi. The feed is https://gamified.co.uk/full-rss/makefulltextfeed.php?url=getpocket.com%2Fusers%2Fdaverage%2Ffeed%2Fall&max=5&links=preserve&exc=1&Filter=gamification&_id=a1e8fcbb24ab1b3c55b551b2f499df7f&_render=rss

ok..I’ll test this out with the beta (since that’s the only version I’m working on) and see what’s going on. Are you on a slow server or anything that would make querying the database a problem (because that is the most likely issue since the link is the database but it doesn’t appear the query is finding the link)

No, server is fine. Was working up until very recently (when you removed the check against article titles).

Set to check every 20 mins and pull out the top 5 articles. I update the rss feed maybe 10 or 15 times a day (it is linked to my pocket read later stream)

the title check was pulled for technical reasons but i’ll try putting date check to see if that helps…may be able to get a fix later today or tomorrow.

Thanks.

It seems that it is not putting rssmi_source_link into the postmeta each time it finds new items.

Actually looking at one now where there are 2 entries for it as posts, but no rssmi_source_link entry yet.

if there is no rssmi_source_link, then that may be caused by that feed not having a permalink…I’m not sure if simplepie, that reads the feeds, will default to a link tag if there is no permalink. Something I’ll look at when I get a chance.

Possible, though it does seem to put one in eventually. either way, good luck ??

just tried to reproduce the problem, using your feed, but as you can see here (a view of the database)

https://www.screencast.com/t/b2PfE5P7f

the rssmi_source_link is entered as it should. I’m using the beta version of the plugin for this, but the results shouldn’t vary. When I can’t reproduce the problem (and don’t hear from other people that they have the same problem), I can only assume it’s another plugin on your server that might be interfering. Did you try deactivating other plugins and see if the problem remains?

I did, but can try again! Very strange. Also investigating if it is picking up short urls from some feeds that don’t match the permalink

I am having this same issue and if you don’t expound on what you mean about a unique URL I will continue to have this issue. Just explain what you mean. When I post to a news category and it goes into my feed, then the plugin grabs it how is it changing MY url, which is unique?

the only thing the plugin does to your URL is trim (get rid of leading and end spaces) then escape the url using esc_url so it can go into a database. When the URL comes in again from a post, it is escaped, trimmed and then checked against the database. It is not “changing your URL” except for escaping it.

What do I need to fix in the settings to get rid of this and have it function correctly? It should not be submitting the same articles over and over and over. I have NO idea what I am supposed to do. I don’t SEE where I can fix this. Your explanations are vague and all I am asking is that you break it down where I can fix it.

Out of interest, is there any chance you would add the check page title code as an option? It would solve my issue instantly (I know there was a technical / performance issue).

a unique url is one that is different from any other url. If you read the FAQs for this plugin, you will see how the plugin works to check the URLs:

https://www.wprssimporter.com/faqs/im-getting-double-posts-with-the-feed-to-post/

If you read this, you will see that the plugin checks the url of the post against the database.

My suggestion is if you can’t get my plugin to work you might try using another plugin to see if it works better.
