This plugin has worked fine for nearly a year but all of a sudden crashed the site with a fatal error. I have deleted and re-installed the plugin but it will not activate due to the following fatal error:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function create_function() in /home3/oleannac/public_html/wp-content/plugins/rssfeedchecker/RSSFeedCheckerWidget.php:15 Stack trace: #0 /home3/oleannac/public_html/wp-content/plugins/rssfeedchecker/RSSFeedChecker.php(42): RSSCheckWidget::init() #1 /home3/oleannac/public_html/wp-content/plugins/rssfeedchecker/RSSFeedChecker.php(115): RSSChecker::init() #2 /home3/oleannac/public_html/wp-admin/includes/plugin.php(2288): include_once('/home3/oleannac...') #3 /home3/oleannac/public_html/wp-admin/plugins.php(192): plugin_sandbox_scrape('rssfeedchecker/...') #4 {main} thrown in /home3/oleannac/public_html/wp-content/plugins/rssfeedchecker/RSSFeedCheckerWidget.php on line 15
The RSS Feed Checker plugin is doing almost exactly what I want it to but there is one thing I can’t get working: if someone clicks on a link in the “Blogs we follow” widget it opens the link in the same tab, I would like it to open in a new tab.
In the “edit link” of the link menu there is an “target” option which I have set to “_blank” for all the links but it still opens in the same tab.
I see that @susanlangenes had the same problem but I only sort of understood her fix because line 159 didn’t look it was a suitable line to add her ammendment.
Just installed the plugin and the widget appears on the sidebar but it’s not showing the 3 feeds I have set up in links.
The feeds are:
https://www.breadland.org/feeds/posts/default
https://blog.aliyahland.com/feeds/posts/default
https://www.mamaland.org/feeds/posts/default
(before I tried these URLs, I had the Feedburner URL in there that these links point to… but changing the URLs doesn’t seem to have made a difference.)
With those 3 links entered, RSS Feed Checker reports the following:
Link Stats
Links pending: 0 Links total: 0
Server load: 10.65
RSS Checker table version: 1.0.0
Schedule
Time now: September 3, 2019 11:29:08
Schedule will be triggered: September 3, 2019 11:30:43
… and naturally, probably because it thinks there are 0 links, it’s not showing anything in the widget either. ??
Any simple way to make this work in 5.2.2?
Thanks!!
]]>Hello, thanks for this handy plugin. I’ve modified RSSFeedCheckerWidget.php (line 159) to add “target=”_blank” to the links, as they were opening in same tab/window despite my having checked the radio buttons for “open in new tab”.
This is actually not a problem for me as I always want all of them to open in a new tab. I just thought I’d mention it and see if there’s something I’m missing…?
]]>Hi,
is there any hope for this plugin to be adjusted to WP 4.1. I just installed this, but none of my links are updating the latest feeds even though there’re new posts coming in. Hitting the refresh button, I get all the data, but the “latest post” stays empty.
Is there a hack or tips to get this working? Thanks in advance.
]]>Hello,
I remember this plugin could be used on a page instead by using some shortcodes.
Are this shortcodes still available for this plugin? Where can I find the documentation for those shortcodes if any.
Thanks ??
How can I remove the “Show All Links” at the bottom of the list of links in the widget?
I can’t see anywhere to remove this and it is unnecessary as it’s just a link to the homepage of the site.
Here are some changes I made to RSSFeedChecker 0.8 for my site: https://pastebin.com/0DcbKBDC
Summary:
* Plugin URI goes to plugin site
* renderlinks() and rss_list() take an $instance object instead of $count
* rss_list() can filter by link category if $instance[‘title’] is a category name
* rss_list() may have no limit if $count==0
* rss_list() will return results that have no associated RSS, and renderlinks() will produce only the titles for these results
* renderlinks() will show the link_image if it exists
* The widget form() admin ui will present a datalist of link category names that can be used for the title.
* “Show all links” no longer displays if the blogroll page does not exist. It had linked to the automated Hello World post because its id=0.
Other changes that got left out of the diff:
* Added ul class “xoxo” to be like core links
* Added aside class “widget_links” to be like core links
* I also removed the margin-bottom for .blogrollitem from my CSS because my
site did not seem to need it and this made the cluster of links without RSS feeds look like core links, but YMMV.
Feel free to incorporate any of these changes into RSSFeedChecker.
]]>The script is supposed to run every certain time in order to keep the RSS list updated and sorted according the last update.
I know several pages have been updated but the script does not update the RSS list.
How can I schedule the script to update the links and/or read the RSS?
Hello!
I have been looking for a plug-in like this for years. This a really great plug-in and does exactly what I was looking for.
I’ve installed it on my site: https://www.arepitas.com and so far it works flawlessly with the RSS seeds from Blogger.com.
The problem occurs with those sites that work on WordPress. Either www.ads-software.com or WordPress.com. It doesn’t get the feeds right and does not get the last update so it shows only zeroes.
I hope you can fix this issue, if you need more details you can contact me back at [ email redacted, support is offered in the forums only ]
Also I’ve had translated some parts into Spanish, I can help you with that.
Thanks for this great plug-in.
