Empty trash?

Hi, that does sound very strange. Are you using the free core plugin alone or are you using any of our premium add-ons?

If you’re referring to Feed Items, we can continue the discussion here.

If you’re using our premium add-ons, such as Feed to Post, please contact us via our premium support channel here. We’ll be more than happy to help you out there.

Hello!
Yes it is the free one.

When I remove feed items to trash and then empty the trash… they will all be back at the site when the plugin update again 15 min later.

Ah, now I understood.

Yes, so the next time the plugin is running a fetch for new items (since I assume the feed sources are still active), it finds those items in the feed, sees that they don’t exist on your site, and re-imports them.

What is the reason you want to delete these feed items in particular, and do you want them back at all? If not, you can blacklist them when permanently deleting. The option is called “Delete permanently and blacklist” when hovering over the feed item in the Trash.
