Assign Feeds To Authors

Thanks BearSox…a donation is not needed but a good rated for the plugin would be nice.

I gave it a 5 because it wouldn’t let me go higher ?? <– sucking up

Allen – have you had a chance to look at why the beta is creating duplicates on each cron cycle yet? If not, which file would be doing the db comparison? I can look at it and see if I can figure out a fix.

Thanks!

here’s the thing…my plugin looks for two items associated with each post before it enters it in the database..1) is the title already in the database and 2) is the permalink already in the database…if 1 or 2 is true, then the item is not entered into the database. Now, if you are sometimes getting duplicates the first thing to check is whether the feed has the same title but a different permalink (which happens if the feed provider decides to post the item again with a slightly different permalink). The second reason is that the wordpress site is sitting on a server that is slow and thus sometimes misses a query to the database – thus the checking for a possible duplicate doesn’t happen.

These are the only reasons, based on the code in the plugin, why you might get a duplicate.

Here’s my environment – I run both the site that’s putting out the feed and the site that is running WP RSS Multi Importer. I’m not changing the feed or articles in any way. Both sites are running and super fast WP servers (my Google page speed scores are usually in the 90-95 range). I’m wondering if it’s a caching issue or perhaps my CDN is playing into it in some way?

I’ll try to tinker a bit and see what I can come up with. Thanks Allen!

Allen – Have you updated the Beta recently. Before I put too much time into this issue I want to make sure I have the latest. Thanks!

In the beta package I found on line 567 of import_posts.php: $added=$added=1;

In the current release version you have that as: $added=$added+1;

Also, I couldn’t find a reference in the php5 manual for in_array_like. I changed both references in line 564 to simply in_array and I’m not getting duplicates anymore.

I was getting duplicates on each cron cycle. Also, when clicking “Click to fetch feeds now” it would always answer “The most recent valid feeds have been put into posts.” Now, once the feeds have been placed and if there are no new posts it answers “There were no new feed items to add.”

thanks for pointing out this error…I fixed it in the beta
