Import full content of article ?

what is the url of the RSS feed you are using that is causing this problem?

Hello Allen,

The RSS feed is https://antoine.olbrechts.eu/radioval.php
(currently only 15 articles for the tests but I have thousands to import)
Do you think some kind of character would make the script exit while importing ?

Thanks for your help,

Antoine

ok..do you know how to edit the plugin files? If so, go into excerpt_functions.php and find this line

$content=html_entity_decode(pre_esc_html($content));

change it to this

$content=html_entity_decode(pre_esc_html($content), ENT_QUOTES,'UTF-8');

let me know how it goes.

You are magic, thanks a lot !!
It seems it does exactly what I need …

One last question though if I may : is there a way to have the plugin to import that whole article in the post area and only the 100 first characters in the excerpt ?

I’ve tried to play with the excerpt settings but it strips the main content of the post, not the excerpt.

Thanks again,

Antoine

right now, there are no controls for deciding how much to put in the excerpt versus the post. The excerpt field in the database determines how much content can go there…right now, the plugin puts in all the content (if you choose in the excerpt field).

It is them up to the theme and wordpress to configure how much of that excerpt field gets displayed on the site – I would configure WP to handle that part of the process.

OK great, thanks for the info !

Have a nice day, your plugin rocks ??

great…also, please rate the plugin when you get a chance..you can that here:

Thanks again,

Allen,

Sorry to bother you again, but something’s wrong …
I haven’t changed anything to the feed but now it won’t import anything, always telling : There were no new feed items to add.

Any idea why this happens ?

Thanks !

if it won’t import anything, that only happens because:
a) the posts have already been imported (they might be in the trash – but until the trash is deleted, the plugin thinks they have already been imported).

b) you haven’t set the number of items to import high enough (make sure to read the instructions on the feed to post page where it explains the number of feeds and the number of items per feed)

c) there are no more posts, that haven’t been imported, that exist in the RSS feed.

Those are the 3 reasons why you could get this message.

Well I don’t understand then ??

I’ve deleted ALL articles, nothing left I even checked in the DB
Number of items is set to the max

ok..you’ll need to contact me at

not sure what’s going on…can you try deleting the plugin then adding it again and see if that works.

I tried that yesterday but didn’t work unfortunately ??

ok…I think what’s going on it that your database has entries in the meta posts table that needs to be deleted…do you have access to your database? If so, go into the posts_meta table and delete any entries with meta keys of rssmi_source_link

Yessss it worked, thank you very much !!
