[Plugin: FeedWordPress] Repeat posts on every update

Don′t know if this helps: in my case the problem stopped when I did not empty my recycle bin. That is; I deleted the repeat posts (which I set to show as “pending” until I approved them), and then just left them in the recycle bin. The moment I empty the recycle bin, the repeat posts appear again as “pending”.

Hi,
I wonder if this helps diagnose what’s going on further.
I managed to fix the dupes problem but then noticed a slowdown which turned out to be that duplicates of syndication_item_hash (different values) were added every time, and very occasionally duplicates of syndication_permalink (identical values) were added.
I can;t do anything with my site at the moment without continuously deleting aggregated items, so any help much appreciated.

WordPress: 3.2.1 FeedWordPress: 2011.0721

I reverted back to the previous version. No more dupes. Wondering if this developer has abandoned the plugin?

After updating to FeedWordPress: 2011.10.18 gives an error “WP HTTP Error :…” Back to the previous version FeedWordPress: 2011.0721

lover-00,

Could you let me know in what context you’re seeing that error message? I.e., what are you doing when it appears, and where does it appear?

Deactivated all my plug-ins (everything). Then updated feedwordpress.
I connect in any business RSS address and fails. I have just done it. My WP 3.2.1
Here is a screen https://s017.radikal.ru/i427/1110/3a/6069b9de23cd.jpg

Thanks. That was helpful.

Quick question: are you attempting to use HTTP Digest authentication? (Or any other authentication-related feature?)

Plugin settings by default.
FeedWordPress: 2011.0721 with these settings works perfectly.
A new plugin no RSS feeds from any site. Shows this error.

OK, thanks. I think I know where the problem is, but I need confirmation from someone whose system has the configuration that’s causing this error. If you’d be willing to do a quick experiment for me, I may be able to put a fix out first thing tomorrow morning.

Here’s the experiment: after the upgrade, there should be a new file in your wp-content/plugins/feedwordpress directory, called feedwordpresshttpauthenticator.class.php. If you can bring up that file in an editor and find the following method (should be at line #41):

function digest_dont ($use, $args) {
if ($this->need_curl($args)) :
$use = false;
endif;
return false;
} /* FeedWordPerssHTTPAuthenticator::digest_dont () */

Then try changing the final line from this:

return false;

To this:

return $use;

Save the file, re-upload to your wp-content/plugins/feedwordpress directory, and try fetching RSS feeds again. If it fixes your problem, I’ll incorporate the fix into an incremental release for tomorrow morning.

Made on your instructions and the error disappeared. Feeds are updated well.

Cool, thanks. I also got confirmation of the issue from a couple of users in a similar situation, so I went ahead and rolled out a fix win today’s incremental release:

Hi,

I’m using WordPress 3.3, and I’ve upgraded to feedwordpress-2011-1019 , and I’m still getting duplicate posts on every update. I’m not using HTTP auth, but the feeds are using the tag URI scheme for GUIDs

Update:

I’ve isolated the duplicate posts issue to some kind of interaction with the YD Domain Mapping plugin. We’re using this so that we can map arbitrary domains to our network sites.

E.g.

1. our WordPress Network is set up as wp-network.foo.com, on a subdomain setup
2. a network site ‘bar’ would then be bar.wp-network.foo.com
3. we setup the feedwordpress plugin to pull in posts from a tag:uri feed
4. we get unique posts in, with GUIDs of the form bar.wp-network.foo.com?guid=(some guid)

All well and good. BUT, then we use the domain mapping plugin to map blog.bar.com to that network site…

It seems that when we hit a network site on its mapped domain (blog.bar.com), it instantly duplicates the syndicated posts with guids of the form blog.bar.com?guid=(the same guid)

I set up 2 identical blogs, subscribed them both to the same feed, and applied a domain mapping to one but not the other. All was fine until I hit the blog homepage on the new mapped domain- at which point all the posts got replicated with mapped domain GUIDs as above.

So I don’t know if this is an issue with FeedWordPress or with the YD Domain Mapping plugin, but they definitely don’t seem to play nicely with each other.

Hope this helps!

Still have a random number of duplicates using Feedwordpress.

I’ve tested my site feed alone, in a news reader. And it does contain duplicates. Which means that the feed itself is cr[a]ppy.

How come WP gives such a strangely bad feed ?
Or is it just normal ?

Question is : is your plugin really responsible or is it just bad feed conception from the start ?

[I use the latest versions of WP and of plugin]

By the way, is there a difference between :
? mysite/feed
and
? mysite/?feed=rss2

They seem to give different results according to “whothef*ck knows” why ?

I am facing the same problem with a number of my sites. Feedwordpress is importing duplicate posts from the feed. I installed Filter plugin for Duplicate posts but it doesn’t work.

Any other suggestions?
