Not pulling news post from RSS

That should be, “Not pulling newest post from RSS”

GEtting the same issue .

would be great if the team can help out.

This is a major flaw in the plugin. It starts at the beginning of the feed, then adds only the articles after the original pull and completely ignores newer posts. Once it reaches the last article in the feed, the plugin stops posting even if there are new, unpublished articles.

Is there no support for this plugin? Does anyone ready these posts?

Your post answers to your own question. The plugin really parses the feed from the beginning because… the new posts are always appear there. In other words, it always tries to find the most recent (new) posts and only after that it goes down to the old ones. So if nothing was added, that means there are no new posts in the feed.

No, I think you misunderstood. It is NOT finding the most recent (new) posts. It does not seem to check the whole feed from the top down. It checks from the last article posted. As time goes on, and new articles appear in the feed, those new articles are completely ignored. After the plugin hits the 10th post (or whatever the last is). it just stops… regardless of the new posts. It will post article 1, 2, 3, 4,… down the line and ignored the fact that there may be a new article in the #1 position. It does check for duplicates. So, if the initial first article gets bumped the #2 position, it doesn’t duplicate. However, instead of posting the new #1, it posts #3.

If does.

No, that’s absolutely not true.

It will post article 1, 2, 3, 4,… down the line and ignored the fact that there may be a new article in the #1 position.

It ALWAYS starts from the #1st position. If there is a new article, it will be added first of all.

Should I quote the appropriate part of the algorithm? Something tells me that as a developer I know better how my script does work. If you have any doubts, you can check the code by yourself. The code is open and is not encrypted – just read it.

Hint: Here is what you have to look at: function parseFeed($feed_url)

I’m sorry, but that is not the case. Here are two examples of feeds I am having problems with:

https://costello.house.gov/rss.xml and https://www.repkampf.com/RSS.aspx?ID=138

One provides full text and the other just a portion, and neither are starting from the first post. In fact, both are being pulled just as I described and now are not pulling anything. Both feeds were added in mid-December, and not one post after the add date has been pulled. AND, if I delete any older posts that I don’t want, the plugin will re-pull that older press release, ignoring the newer one.

Becoming rude and condescending does not change what is actually occurring. It is what it is. You act like I am making this up.

I’m not rude at all. I just don’t understand the people who tell me how my own script does work. You say the old deleted post was rewritten. This means that the most recent post has already been added to your blog.

“This means that the most recent post has already been added to your blog…” NO!!! Why would I sit here telling you that the new posts are not being written if they were? I just gave you two feed examples that the new articles ARE NOT POSTING! And, I explained that the plugin was adding articles older than the date the feed was added and NOTHING NEWER.

But, now that you FINALLY got around to responding to your support forum, this attitude does not surprise me. Almost every response was essentially telling the person they were wrong, the plugin works fine, and making the thread resolved. I have no idea how that is not a violation of www.remarpro.com’s terms for hosting your plugin.

Perhaps you have some wrong settings. E.g. you have set the plugin to generate post thumbnails, while the actual posts have no images or something else. Want me to find out what you do wrong? Email me with login/password to your WordPress control panel and I’ll post here what exactly you are doing wrong. My Email is cyberseo@cyberseo.net. You say that CyberSyn doesn’t parse the feed from the new post to the oldest one. I say it does. Let me check your site, ok?

P.S. There are over 9,000 active installs of CyberSyn + 26,465 active installs of its professional edition. If there was a problem with the plugin itself, I would know about it…

I’m not a clown to surprise you here and this site is not a circus. I do provide a freeware product (that means you don’t pay any cent for it). It’s like a charity – take it or not is your choice. You have said that my plugin does not parse the feeds from the new post to the oldest one and that’s a lie. The code is open to public and everybody can see how it works. I do insist that you have some wrong settings. Let me check them (for free). Otherwise it’s an absolutely worthless talk abut some theoretical case with nonexistent site. Course there is a second way. You can drop down my free plugin and use some another one.
