Hello Ernest.
Thank you for your reply. I did find a plugin that was causing my problems. So, I disabled the plugin, did the search bar changes to my liking and re-enabled the conflicting plugin. Everything worked out in the end.
Thank you so much for your reply and your reply and advice. It helped greatly.

Thank You!

I have the same problem as above on multiple sites. The latest update to NextGen does not play with Elementor.

Tung,
I just tried that rss link and had no problems with it. I’m using that same rss feed on two other places without any problems either. Weird.

Is there a way to adjust how many posts pipes will pull?. I only want it to pull the most recient/last post and not the last 10 posts?

Hi Tung Pham, Thank you for your reply. I spent last weekend tweeking things and I managed to get it to work sorta. I still have two issues that I am unable to resolve.

Let me give you the backstory so you understand what I am using pipes for. I have a WP site that I make a single post to daily. I only post one item. No problem with that. I want to use Pipes to pull the daily post and import it into another site. Once the post has been posted in the second site, a Social Media auto poster will post the reciently imported post to social media. In manual mode it works fine except I have two issues I can’t figure out.

First issue. In the settings, I have it set for
1)”Yes, I want to run my Pipes in both manually and automatically methods.”
2)”No, I will create a cronjob task myself to run the script”
My hosting company helped me get the cron to work and I can see in Wordfence that the cron does execute but nothing imports. If I change that setting to- “Yes, I want to run my Pipes automatically when someone access my WordPress site.” It appears to work properly. The problem with that setting is that when someone access my site, Pipes will repost the last 10 posts. Then, the Social Media auto poster that will repost the same 10 posts. This can happen multiple times a day. Not good. This one I can’t seem to figure out. The cron runs but nothing happens.

Second issue I cant figure out. How can I have a pipe only import the most current post?. Pipes is importing the last 10 posts when I want it to import and post the mose recient item and not the last 10. Is that something I can change… Somehow?.

Does this make sense of what I am attempting to acomplish?
Thank you so much for your help thus far.

UPDATE – I overlooked something and I *think* I may have resolved this problem. I overlooked the ‘Do you want to run update method via cronjob?’ option. Maybe that will fix the cron problem, That brings me to other problem.

The pipe seems not to be updating. What I mean is, The RSS feed I am pulling from has posts that go back months. For some reason, in test/update mode, the pipe is only pulling the same five posts that were made over a month ago. It is not pulling anything from today back. It keeps importing the same five posts that are a month old. At first I thought it was the originating site’s RSS feed. I ruled that out because I am using the ‘out of the box’ RSS feed widget, and it updates daily. That leads me to believe the originating sites RSS is correct. I did clear the cashe thinking it was a cache problem. No luck. Bottom line, It is only pulling the same five posts from weeks ago and nothing since then.

Any sugggestions on how I can get WpPipes to get caught up and continue to update daily?.
Thanks in advance.

Wfalaa, Thank You for your reply. You answered my question. I think it would be a nice feature to be able to customise the 403 Forbidden page. Or better yet, send the 403 traffic someplace of my choosing.
