MagpieRSS doesn’t cache

  • I need to use the built-in MagpieRSS functions in order to display RSS content. I am using the delicious cached++ plugin, which is supposed to cache feed items 1) not to hit the feed server every time the page is loaded and 2) to be able to display items even when the feed can’t be reached. However, I can’t get the cache to work – there are no error messages, but the “cache” directory simple isn’t being created, and there are no traces of it in the database. I have tried different hosts and different versions of WP with no success. During the several times a day when the delicious feed isn’t reachable, the section in question on the page simply displays empty. This obviously isn’t good enough, and if I can’t get the cache to work, this section has to be dropped (or substituted by the less flexible “daily blog posting”-feature of delicious).

    I’ve created a cache directory (with 777 permissions) in the location specified by MagpieRSS in rss-functions.php (define(‘MAGPIE_CACHE_DIR’, ‘./cache’);), and other places as well, to be on the safe side, but with no success – the cache won’t install.

    Has anyone been able to overcome this problem or find a way to initiate the cache manually?

    Nobody has any experience in overcoming this problem?

    The magpie included with wordpress caches it’s data in the database, in the options table.

    OK, but the problem is that the caching doesn’t occur at all. This is a problem, because it frequently leaves a section of the site blank when the connection to the delicious-feed is broken.

    I could use the special delicious-javascript-linkroll, but the poroblem with this is that it doesn’t include the description of the items.

    I know this is an old thread, but I’ve been fighting with the same problem. Any solution to this yet?
