Hey Guys,
Another post helped me solve the “This RSS feed URL is deprecated” issue.
Change:
$items = array_slice($feed->items, 0, $atts[‘limit’]);
To:
$items = array_slice($feed->items, 1, $atts[‘limit’]);
Hope this helps someone ??
]]>This is almost exactly what I was after. Is there a way to search for multiple queries? As an example, I work for a project management firm in Canberra, ACT Australia and I’d like to search for both “project development canberra” and things like, say “AIPM” to also catch things like recent AIPM award ceremony news on our site. I’ve tried a couple of options to do this which seemed obvious but they only seemed to make the plugin disregard the query at all, returning it to default.
]]>Okay, I have looked in the support section and I see that there may be no-one supporting this plugin anymore.
Before changing to a different plugin I thought I better put a post up in support and see if I get any replies.
Site: bigears.net.au Go to NEWS on the top menu.
Select which news: (e.g. Shop Fittings News)
You will now see that no news comes up. Hit refresh and the news comes up.
Anyone able to help?
I did give this 5 stars when I first got the plugin as worked brilliantly but, if there is no support I better change that to 1 star.
]]>I see this error message.
Warning: array_slice() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home/gm49fmt/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-google-news/simple-google-news.php on line 140
Please help me.

]]>Hello i am using Simple Google News Plugin
on my site .
I was using this plugin locally it was working smoothly but when i shift my site to the server it is not working the news array is returning null i don’t know what is causing this problem ..locally it working but in server it returns empty ..
Please give me a solution for this ..
Thanks in advance
Installed the Simple Google News Plugin version 2.1 and I can’t seem to have the image float left. I am using the default short code [google_news] to add to the page. The order of the feed item is
image
title
content
I looked at the ccs and it shows the float left option but I does not seem to work.
This is a great plugin, I am hoping to solve this small little problem. I am not that knowledgeable about ccs formating any help would be appreciated.
WordPress 4.0.1
Atahualpa theme version 3.7.18
Simple Google News version 2.1
Tks for your time.

This is a great plugin and I use it quite a bit on my wordpress.
It was working fine a few hours ago, now nothing is showing up, really don’t understand why, I tried deactivating and reactivating and also deleting it completely and reinstalling.
Anyone have any ideas?
I have this as a feature on every post and is somewhat integral, it would be great to get this up and running again.
Anyone else had such a problem?
Thanks
]]>Is it possible to set a default image up so if the news items does not have an image, it displays my default one?
Thanks!
]]>i have an error when i activate this plugin’s widget in my sidebar. the error is
Warning: array_slice() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home/kanyakub/public_html/testwp/wp-content/plugins/simple-google-news/simple-google-news.php on line 140
so when i put the shortcode [google_news] in a post, it will auto get the title and show news, without the need of further edit
]]>hey thanks for great script, however can you add please ajax pagination? this is very needed … 10 results are not enough most of the times

]]>Hello, i want to know how can i define to show only news in spanish instead english?

Hi,
Great looking plugin, but when i upload it to me site and activate it the page just goes blank and then i cant enter plugin section in my dashboard.
Please advise on how to get this work, as it looks cool
Thanks
]]>Hi,
Thanks for this great plugin!!
It is exactly what I needed.
It works flawlessly in English with your default settings.
However, my blog is RTL (Arabic) and I am trying to get the latest Google News in Arabic.
The Google News Query I want to use is:
news.google.com/?ned=ar_me
I tried many different ways to enter it into the Query box to no avail – as soon as I add it, the widget “disappears” from my Sidebar.
I tried to enter int eh Query Box:
ned=ar_me
“ned=ar_me”
ned=”ar_me”
[ned=ar_me]
[ned=”ar_me”]
news.google.com/?ned=ar_me
All these options resulted in the widget “disappearing” from my Sidebar.
What am I getting wrong here?
Many thanks in advance!
]]>I did not get a chance to record the error message.
]]>I installed this plugin about a month ago and it worked great at first. However, it hasn’t seemed to work at all over the last 2 weeks or so.
I get this error unless I add the code as described in https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/warning-array_slice-expects-parameter-1-to-be-array-null-given?replies=1
“Warning: array_slice() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home1/lang101/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-google-news/simple-google-news.php on line 140”
Not sure if it’s the plugin, my server, or a Google News issue? It’s a nifty plugin, I hate to see it not working.
]]>Sir ,
how can write $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’] or $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_HOST’] in default region parameter.
actually i want o display news by location by location
example when user open my website in delhi then google new display delhi news and when opne my website in mumbai then open mumbai news
I don’t see in the documentation how to use the shortcode on a Page.
]]>Hello There,
I am using the shortcode as prescribed and it is not displaying anything on my site running the version of wordpress that the plugin is compatible with and i am wondering why this is happenning.
]]>To those who may be experiencing this error, it seems it is caused by the news feed returned by google being empty.
This could be due to a query returning no results, or perhaps the connection to google news failing…
The thing is, this case should be protected in the plugin to return a nice message instead of a PHP error !
Having the same issue in some cases, I simply put an if ($feed) condition on line 140 where the error appears :
if ($feed) $items = array_slice($feed->items, 0, $atts['limit']);
This prevents the plugin from returning the PHP error message, but that’s all. If you want a message to appear, like “Sorry, no news to display” or something of the sort, you’ll need to further customize.
I you’re not comfortable with PHP or can’t figure out what do to here, I can provide some help if you’re interested.
I expect the plugin author to provide an update fixing this issue sooner or later ??
]]>Hi,
I tried to use Simple Google News Plugin in my site.
But I got the following error.
Warning: array_slice() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in \wp-content\plugins\simple-google-news\simple-google-news.php on line 140
How to fix this?
]]>After several months of successful use of the Google News widget, I noticed today that it was no longer working. When accessing the page, the following error message appears:
Warning: array_slice() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home/stevenmeyers/chicago-adhd.com/wp-content/plugins/simple-google-news/simple-google-news.php on line 140
Any suggestions or fixes?
This is the text I used to generate the articles that worked fine in the past: [google_news query=”ADHD”]
]]>Hi there !
thanks for the cool plugin !
I’m using it as a widget and it appears there isn’t a region option for it. I personally did a little customization to include it, but I thought I’d point it out to you (maybe for a coming version ?)
As I’m at it, I might also point out that the widget doesn’t use your get_news function, therefore, in case there are spaces in the query, they aren’t converted to “+”, which leads to the feed being null, and thus a PHP error (array_slice doesn’t accept null as a parameter)
some minor remarks, if I may :
– shouldn’t the widget be contained in a <div class=”widget”> and have a <h4 class=”widgettitle”> inside ? Actually, I’m not sure if there’s a standard layout for wordpress widgets…
– support for language .mo files would be great
That’s it for now ??
]]>Hi,
Can I do a boolean keyword search?
For example, could I search for news that contained BOTH words: Maine & fisheries? (not the exact phrase “Maine fisheries”, but rather articles that contained both the word “Maine” and “fisheries” somewhere in the article.
Thanks! Very helpful plugin!
JMH
]]>Great plugin. Any chance you could incorporate Google’s search parameters? (https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/136861?hl=en)
I’m particularly interested in generating a search like this:
[google_news query="search term site:scholar.google.com"]
and would prefer to have the ability to enclose terms in quotes to search for a particular phrase like this:
[google_news query="'find this whole phrase' site:scholar.google.com"]
Many thanks,
Diana
Many Thanks for plugin.
Any plans to return the date of news article
