Thanks Kim09. We’ll give it a try.

It seems that a LOT of people using WP are having a LOT of issues with RSS feeds, myself included, and there is ZERO support for this widget and the other RSS plugins/widgets simply don’t work as advertised.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Still having problems with RSS feeds not updating. Whether I use the raw feed from our web site or the feedburner feed, the result is the same.

I can click the little rss feed icon and see more updated information than is shown in the publicly viewable feed for both. very frustrating.

Unfortunately, when I try other rss widgets from WP, I get very strange results:

– The KB Advanced RSS Widget caused all 5 RSS feeds on our home page to pull from the same feed.
– the Simple RSS Fetcher just doesn’t see any feed at all.

Does anyone else have this issue? You can see it for yourself at https://www.cwnp.com – click on any of the feeds, and you’ll see newer data than you see on the web page.

Help? Anyone? Anyone?

Also tried Simple RSS Fetcher. No joy.

There is something amiss between my site and the RSS feeds I am trying to display.

Brilliant. Now all 5 RSS feeds have somehow adopted one feed, so I have 5 different locations of the exact same feed. WTH?

So much for nicer looking feeds that actually update…correctly!

Bye bye kb-advanced-rss-widget. Why is this so hard? RSS=really SIMPLE syndication, right?

So I replace all the kb garbage with the WP standard RSS feeds, and it actually goes BACK to content from yesterday, yet I can still open the actual RSS feed and see up to date content.

HELP!

OK, fixed the issue of reuse. I really love the title display of this widget vs. the default WP widget, and, yes, it actually updates the content from the feed. What a concept. Scroll down to the footer of this page to see the various widgets:

https://www.cwnp.com/index/

Questions:
– How do we show a short excerpt, author, date from each feed?
– some show mouse-over texts, some do not. Is that a function of the RSS feed XML or code in the widget?
– Lower left RSS – “Blogroll” – the title runs right into the blog name with no space. It did not appear this way with default RSS widget. How to fix?

Also, again consider I’m no coder/html guy, WP default RSS widget gives mouseover content to these RSS feed headlines. KB-advanced does not seem to do this.

Unless I’m missing something, I cannot reuse this widget on different locations on my site. When I try to put a different RSS feed into this widget on a different location on my site, I get the same RSS feed that I used in the first location. I have 5 RSS feeds in the footer/sidebar of my site. Obviously, each one is different. When I implement KB-advanced, I get the same feed in every widget, despite the fact that I have entered a different feed URL in each one.

I’m no coder, nor HTML guru. SO, like I said, unless I’m missing something…

Will give it a whirl.

That’ll make it look good, but doesn’t solve the problem of why the RSS feed data doesn’t update on my web site.

Unfortunately, I look at this issue from a user perspective, as I am not a developer and could not be trusted to do anything in phpMyAdmin. I’m looking for a simple way to do this within the WP UI.

SS_Minnow, Shane G.:

Thanks for these. I’ll give them a shot. What I’m trying to do is show all users, so I can “select all” and “Change role to” “subscriber”, because at the moment all our users are “role=none” so they cannot login and post to the forums (bbPress).

Of course, I’m also banking here that the bbPress/WP Integration plugin actually does it’s job of cross assigning roles that I have setup, but I just found on the bbPress forums that I will be very disappointed, and may have to find a similar plugin for bbPress. Grrr.

Is there a way in wp-admin for us non-coders to see all of the users in one view? It’s easy to see all my pages in one view…thought it would be similar for users. I need to bulk update the roles of most of my users.

How can you view all users of a role type on the screen? I’m only able to see 50 users at a time. We have thousands of users, and I’d like to delete or update roles in bulk.

I cannot get this plugin to work. With straight install, using the plugin logged me out of WP. With adjustments noted above, just a blank page.
