Plugin not working

Hello Sunkid,
it is happily running on on my own site so I’m not aware of anything that needs adjusting specifically for 4.1.
If you look at the Links-> RSS Feed checker menu in the dashboard it will give you an idea of what it’s doing. It is designed specifically not to run if the load on your server is high. Have a look in there and make a note of the links pending and see if that is changing.
The manual processing replies on an Ajax call so there might be another plugin or theme interfering with that mechanism.
That screen will also show you the current time and the time that the job will next run.
There are some Cron monitoring plugins you can use to check of the background job is running correctly.
One last thought is I wonder if there is a specific feed that’s causing a problem. Perhaps turning on the WordPress logging to file might provide more information?
Let me know how you get one.
Cheers,
Andy

THanks for the quick response. You are right, I applied this plugin on another domain, and it’s working well with 4.1

However, not for the site I’m working on. It is also on maintenance mode, so I’m not sure if this is a factor, or not.

Refreshing the link i get this:

Refreshing the settings pages of RSS Feed checker, I get this:
Link Stats
Links pending: 2 Links total: 3
Server load: 19.05
RSS Checker table version: 1.0.0

Schedule
Time now: 26. January 2015 15:56:55
Schedule will be triggered: 13. January 2015 17:03:35

Can’t figure out why the schedule is backdated. Could jetpack also interfere with this? Any clues?

The schedule will be backdated if the job has not been running. I don’t think Jetpack will interfere but there’s a lot in that plugin so it is possible.

Can you post the feed you are trying to refresh through this:

https://validator.w3.org/feed/

That load seems quite high, it seems higher than max “Server Load limit” setting at the bottom of the screen? Mine’s currently set to 1.4.

Andy, it’s very strange. I solved the problem by refreshing and “processing link” of the feeds individually. I started off with the other links which suddenly started to work. It never did.

Link Validator says all was fine. The Server load limit was set to 0.8 and I’ve changed that now to 1.4, like you. At present the server load says 15.4

I hope I won’t have to manually process each link that I add?

Thanks for being there ?? Am glad it’s working now.

I suspect it’s still no going to run until you get that load of 15+ down below the Server Load limit.

It should be possible to key in a bigger value e.g. 20 but you will need to change a little piece of code in RSSFeedCheckerSettings.php

There is a function called “Validate” and the following line:

$options['serverload'] = self::validate_range($input['serverload']*100.0,10,500)/100.0;

If you change the “500” to “2000” then you will be able to enter 20 as a value.

However, it may be worth working out what’s causing the server to have such a high load and work on that instead.

I think I found the culprit. I’m using the Plugin “ARYO Activity Log”. Switching it off brings the server load down to ard. 7.77 But, switching it on again, it goes now to about 8.8 Hmm, can’t figure it out.

I’m not too sure if this Log plugin (or any similiar plugins) will block the RSSfeed checker from running, when too many requests are running. There’s going to be about 30 links for the RSS Checker to work on. :-O
