Can't get data to pull

    Hi, I really like the idea of this plugin but I’m struggling to get it working.

    I have a simple xml feed https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22219340/regevent/events.xml

    xpath to posts is: channel/item
    I’m using title and guid as my field mappings for the two default mappings.

    whenever I do a manual pull I see the following in the log…
    Warning : No items in feed

    However, I did get it working at one point (with these settings) but it doesn’t appear to be consistent and is not updating when I modify some of the elements in my feed.

    other settings…
    post type=page
    post status=publish
    update existing posts=yes
    automatically add new posts to categories:latestnews

    in my settings I have
    pull feeds on this interval: 60
    pull feeds: yes
    I’ve pressed the “reset deleted posts” button

    Post a screen shot. This is a bit of a peculiar feed since there is no style information associated with it. I’m not sure XPath can handle this.

    The xpath appears to be wrong, the root element is ignored when formulating the expression, so in this case where the root is <channel> the correct xpath would be just ‘item’
