Has FeedWordPress been discontinued??

FWIW, I believe the issue is with using PHP 5.4+

I’m running 5.3 and the plugin is work as expected for me.

@radgeek – Your plugin is awesome and there isn’t really anything that compares to what it does, but the problems with your versioning not keeping up with WordPress is an ongoing issue that forces people to use an older version of WordPress past it’s used by date.

I for one think that you should offer a cut-down free version and an affordable paid plugin with the full set of features. I am sure that from the popularity that you would easily obtain the funds to support regular ongoing development and support…

I don’t mind paying for code that I know is updated and can get support when something does go wrong.

the call-time pass-by-reference errors can easily be fixed for php5.4:

file syndicatelink.class.php line 328 change &$this to $this
file admin-ui.php line 53 &$post and &$this to &post and &this
file admin-ui.php line 84 &$post and &$this to &post and &this

hope this helpes

I know I’m not supposed to post off topic but I just want to say that, yes, I’ve had a couple issues with this plugin but there is no other FREE plugin like it. When someone takes the time to put together a powerful plugin like this and offer it to the community for FREE, I think that’s friggin’ fantastic and I’m not going to complain.

Thanks radgeek for an awesome plugin that I use ALL THE TIME! I’m soooooo glad to here you’re still helping us by continuing to make your plugin better!

Hey y’all,

So, for reference, a new release is out today with compatibility fixes for WordPress 3.4.x-3.5, and PHP 5.4. This was pushed out quickly in order to take care of an issue that was making the admin UI unusable for some users with WordPress 3.5; so of course it is possible that there are other issues remaining to be cleared out. But take a look, let me know if it solves your outstanding problems, and if not, what issues you are still encountering. The new release is 2012.1212, available either from github or from:

Thanks,

Ditto to ioian’s and debbrancheau’s comments. Thanks radgeek you are awesome!

For those of you still getting the error “The data could not be converted to UTF-8” I found a fix for the issue today. The problem seems to be with the opensource code simplepie. I downloaded the latest version here:
https://dev.simplepie.org/

I then replaced my file /wp-includes/class-simplepie.php with the newer version and the issue went away. (I’m be monitoring over the next day to make sure).

I would guess that the issue was intermittent because the newer posts in a feed caused the post causing the issue to get pushed out of the feed over time.
