I love this plugin but with WordPress 4.7, I am getting the following error message:
[26-Apr-2017 12:36:36 UTC] PHP Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget in WP_RSSjb is <strong>deprecated</strong> since version 4.3.0! Use <pre>__construct()</pre> instead. in /home/baee_2012/dev.baeecorp.org/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3893
Does anyone know how to fix this? I think the developer has abandoned this as the website is no longer active.
The error message says “use __construct()” instead but how do I implement this?

]]>Suddenly, RSS Just Better is not displaying news headlines via widget on my WP site. Odd thing: a second site I run, same exact template, works perfectly.
Error message:
“No items found in feed URL: https://news.google.com/news/section?cf=all&ned=us&q=bus+and+truck+fleet+transportation%2C+fleets%2C+commercial+fleet. You requested 5 items”
URL is valid. Appreciate support. Thanks

]]>Hi – I’ve been using this successfully for a couple of years but it’s suddenly stopped working. I’m wondering if it’s compatible with WordPress version 4 which has automatically been applied to my site (www.hanslope.org.uk)?
Thanks,
Bill
Love the plugin, works like a charm and thank you so much for creating this. It’s people like you that help WP be such an awesome platform.
Now to the question – I’m using the shortcode to display feed items, for example:
[RSSjb location=”us” local=”” topic=”” gsearch=”Tsunami” filter=”” num=”5″ ltime=”” list=”ul” target=”_blank” pubdate=”false” pubtime=”false” dformat=”” tformat=”” pubauthor=”false” excerpt=”false” charex=”50″ title=”” link=”false” sort=”false” cachefeed=”3600″]
This works fine, except, each and every post I have on WP with this code in it shows feed items for “Tsunami”. I’m using this plugin but having feed items show at the bottom of each post.
What I’d like to do is display the feed items using the shortcode above, but have the WP Post Title dynamically populate the feed items with the actual post title.
Example:
[RSSjb location=”us” local=”” topic=”” gsearch=”$title” filter=”” num=”5″ ltime=”” list=”ul” target=”_blank” pubdate=”false” pubtime=”false” dformat=”” tformat=”” pubauthor=”false” excerpt=”false” charex=”50″ title=”” link=”false” sort=”false” cachefeed=”3600″]
However, when do things like “$title” or ” . $title . ” nothing seems to work, no matter how I try different variations of the wordpress title variable. You can see the codex here, but I can’t insert the PHP code within the shortcode, which is wrapped already in PHP.
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/single_post_title
Any idea what the WP post title variable should be, and how to insert it into the shortcode to get the post to pull in the post title into the gsearch keyword?
Thanks, David.
]]>I removed the code from the plugin editor but it didn’t go away?
Is it possible to remove this?
thanks
]]>I tried to use RSS just better, and it worked perfectly for a time. Now one of the widgets shows a rss feed from my own site?
The feed which doesn’t work anymore is https://landdistrikterne.dk/feed/ if anyone with a little more RSS knowledge than I would take a look a see if the feed is broken – I would be wiser.
When I look at it in Firefox the feed preview looks allright. Also tried to let it timeout but that didn’t help either.
dformat : customized date format (default: none. None displays the wp standard date format if pubdate is true);
Not sure if I have understood this correctly. If I want the publication date to show, I set it to true? But if I do that, then it doesn’t show the default wordpress date format? Then how do I set it up to display the publication date with or without the time, I don’t care whether or not the time displays. Could you give me a written example rather than an explanation of how it works?
Thanks a lot! Can’t wait for the images to be added! That will make this perfect, for me anyway!
Have a good one!!
]]>Hi Stef. I have been following your threads and think you might be able to point me in the right direction. I want to pay someone to code a solution (I am not a developer) but I do not know what skills or experience I am looking for. Can you help?
I re-order blog posts (using https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/intuitive-custom-post-order/ which is brilliantly simple) on over 30 WordPress sites managed by ManageWP.
As part of the content delivery (one is via apps) I then have them auto RSS-to-emailed via Campaign Monitor. The app displays the posts in the correct re-order but the RSS-to-email reverts to the default date order.
Will someone be able to override the RSS feed with a plugin(?) or, say, via Feedburner(???) and if so what should I be looking for on my coder quest? Or is this something you can do?
Unfortunately Intuitive Custom Post Order has not responded to this same request.
We manage over 30 sites via ManageWP all needing the same solution.
]]>A client has an employee who writes at an annual VMWorld seminar. VMWorld gives him his own attendee RSS, which is pulled into my client’s site using RSS Just Better.
The attendee RSS is assigned per individual, not per year. This means that the feed shows all of his entries from the 2012 event, and I can’t see a way to filter them out for 2013. As a shot in the dark, I tried filter="-2012", but predictably, it didn’t work.
Is there a way for me to filter the feed items by year (or any other date parameter for that matter)?
Thanks in advance!
]]>This plugin is using absolute urls such as:
/wp-content/plugins/rss-just-better/rss-cube.gif
This causes problems with wordpress installations that are not homed at the root, and when the plugins and/or the content folder are renamed or moved. There are methods for getting the correct url – see:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Determining_Plugin_and_Content_Directories
Thank you for looking into correcting this problem.
]]>Hello,
With RSSJustBetter, character like “?” is not displayed (hence, instead of “y?l”, you get “yl”). There is no such problem with the Super RSS Reader.

this is how the rss feed shows up on my website.
– i would like the titles to be in a larger font than the summary/preview text.
– i would also like line breaks between posts.
– i would like ‘Continue Reading’ to be in a different color
– and i would like to have a line break before ‘Continue Reading’
the shortcode i have used is:
[RSSjb feed=”www.mysourceurl*.com” num excerpt=”true” list=” ol”title=”” num=”100″ ]
any advise on how to fix this?

]]>At https://roundhousetalk.com/2013/01/rss-just-better-feed/ where I capture my feeds, I used the following for my google feed:
[RSSjb location=”us” local=”” topic=”” search=”tribe, tribal, indian, native american, casino” filter=”” keyword=”tribe, tribal, indian, native american, casino” num=”100″ ltime=”” list=”ul” target=”_blank” pubdate=”true” pubtime=”true” dformat=”” tformat=”” pubauthor=”true” excerpt=”true” charex=”50″ title=”” link=”trust” sort=”false” cachefeed=”3600″]
This works pretty good but I want to capture needs feeds that are no published no more than 10 hours before. Also, my blog is a Native American (Indian, Tribe, Indian Casino) them and the feed is capturing news about India (the Country) and sports teams with these names. All I want to capture is news nationally and state or local. Would be nice to capture excerpts also as my “Press This” button does create a post with the excerpt.
And, I utilize about 5 URL feeds from major publications using their feeds which do not grab search on words (tribe, tribal, Indian, Native American, Casino) but rather pulls in all news of all types not exclusive to my keywords. If I use their search engine and type in the keywords, it does capture the specific type of articles I want. Below is an example of their feed:
[RSSjb feed=”https://www.tulsaworld.com/site/rss/rss.aspx?”%5D
Using their search I get results at this URL: https://www.tulsaworld.com/site/search/default.aspx?t=tribe
If I can resolve these, the plugin would be perfect to me and my need. Please help me if it’s possible. Thanks.

]]>I like the news I pull from RSS Just Better plugin but there are about 3 sites I still have to go pull “Press This” news. Is the a way to use the shortcode I’m currently using and also add the same short code with each of the additional URL’s?
My Site: https://roundhousetalk.com
Other URL Needed:
https://indianz.com
https://turtletalk.wordpress.com
https://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com
Thanks.

]]>I suggest that for the shortcode, you make the date a separate span.
https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/rss-just-better/
]]>I am using the default parameter set,
[RSSjb location=”us” local=”” gsearch=”” filter=”” num=”5″ ltime=”” list=”ul” target=”_blank” pubdate=”false” pubtime=”false” dformat=”” tformat=”” pubauthor=”true” excerpt=”false” charex=”150″ title=”” link=”false” sort=”false” cachefeed=”36″]
I changed the value of gsearch=””, to say gsearch=”wordpress”
But nothing changes, what am i doing wrong?
https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/rss-just-better/
]]>OK, I have added image support to the plugin for an image in an enclosure.
Here is the relevant code:
// test get the enclosure
if ( $enclosure = $item->get_enclosure(0) ) {
$enclosure_link = $enclosure->get_link();
if ( preg_match("/\.(png|jpg|gif)$/", $enclosure_link) ) {
$flist .= "<img src='".$enclosure_link."' />";
}
}And you just add it before this existing code
// writes the link
$flist .= "<a target='$target' href='$permalink'";
...And you’ll get your image. Use CSS styling to format it.
I use WP RSS Images plugin to add images to the WordPress feed in the first place. Here is an example of this plugin working on my site to show the recent articles with an image.

]]>Hi,
How is it with the feature of displaying images of RSS feed items?
Is there any chance it is now possible?
https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/rss-just-better/
]]>Hi,
Great plugin! I noticed that you can set the cache period by shortcode (cachefeed=) but I was how to trigger it?
I have some twenty rss feeds on one page and it takes some time to load for the first time. So I think it gets triggered when somebody loads that page and then it gets into cache for (default) 60 minutes. But is there someway I can get it to load into cache beforehand?
I was thinking about taking a free monitoring service which pings the page every 60 minutes. Are there some other alternatives for getting it cached beforehand?
https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/rss-just-better/
]]>This is a fantastic plugin.
It gives me the level of control over an RSS feed that I have been looking for for some time.
I am using it on the site below, where I am in fact populating most of the homepage with content from RSS feeds.
If you look at the below website, the following areas are all using RSSjb in widgets, including: Most recent Judgments, Family Law express blog, Family Law in the News and New Posts.
However, every time I refresh my browser, at least one of these sections breaks, and instead of the RSS feed content, I get the following message, as below.
===========================
Ooops…this plugin cannot read your feed at this time: it might be temp. not available or – if you use it for the first time – you might have mistyped the url or it might be a misformatted RSS or Atom feed.
Please, check if your browser can read it instead: https://www.familylawexpress.com.au//news/feed/rss.
If yes, contact me at stefonthenet AT gmail DOT com with your RSS or Atom feed URL and the shortcode or widget params you want to use it with; if not, contact the feed URL provider.
=============================
How can I stop the feeds from breaking?
For reference, I tried adding two forward slashes to the Feed domain name, and this reduced the crashes, but has not eliminated them.
Secondly, you may have noticed that the Most Recent Judgments panel not only displays the feed Title, but also custom fields that I have added to the plugin.
Note: My problem above occurred before I made changes to the plugin.
Can anyone please help me as this is a very frustrating problem with an otherwise great plugin?
