Most recent rss post not showing

Actually… the xml is missing a pubdate and a GUID… looks like I answered my own question.

Only thing id… I don’t know why there’s no pubdate

OK, apparently the GUID and Postdate appear after some time has passed (say 15 minutes or so). But now there really is no reason why the most recent post doesn’t show, even after dumping cache.

Hello,

By default the feed is cached by WordPress for 12 hours. We are looking into adding a feature for version 1.1 where you can control this.

For now you can try using the built-in function here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/wp_feed_cache_transient_lifetime

Yes, that makes sense. The item is posted today. Thank you for your reply and for suggesting the built in. Best wishes as you work on a new feature.

Would it be possible to add a setting so the cache can be purged manually when needed?

Hello,

I apologize for the extreme delay.

I have just released version 1.1.1 which gives you ability to set the cache in seconds via the shortcode attributes. Simply use cache=”value” to set the cache.

For example…

[wp_rss_retriever url="https://feeds.feedburner.com/TechCrunch/" items="10" cache="7200"]

…would set the cache timer to 2 hours.

Thank you for your feedback!
