Sam, correct me if I am wrong, but that appraoch will not allow both the old permalinks and the new permalinks to work.

Eg.
I want http:/ozpolitics.info/blog/story and http:/ozpolitics.info/story and http:/ozpolitics.info/blog/?p=nnn and http:/ozpolitics.info/?p=nnn all to work — old and new alike.

Essentially, in the new world, I would want to map http:/ozpolitics.info/blog/story –> http:/ozpolitics.info/story; and http:/ozpolitics.info/blog/?p=nnn –> http:/ozpolitics.info/?p=nnn (and so on).

I imagine I can do the mapping in the .htaccess file. My problem is that I do not know how.

WordPress plugin: aggregated blog feeds

0.6.0 (pre-release #2) out today

Updated to version 0.5.0 (alpha). This release has three key changes.

First, I am now fetching feeds using the Snoopy PHP class that comes with WordPress.

Second, I have changed the input method for multiple URLS from a comma separated list to a white-space separated list.

Third, I have introduced an errors page (in the dashboard) that lists the most recent feed errors, including for malformed feeds.

In what way did they not work? What were you expecting, and how did it compare with what happened?

Now at version 0.4.10. I have found a way of getting the relative addresses of images wihout the need to modify the database. So I will not need to go to 0.5.0 just yet.

The problem with MagpieRSS in WordPress 2.0 is that it does not handle UTF-8 well. (Also, there is a different [incompatible] version of MagpieRSS in WordPress 2.1).

In terms of the $content = @file_get_contents($this->url) I have gone back to using the cURL library. We will see how it goes.

I am working on improving the aggregator so that it can import images. The first cut is in version 0.4.9. It works for images with full addresses. However, to get it working with images with relative addresses, I will need to redo the database. So expect a version 0.5.0 in about two or three weeks time.

Just updated to version 0.4.7 – blogspot had a new ATOM format that I was not parsing correctly – feed address is in the format: https://site-name.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/full

Update to version 0.4.3 – thanks for the suggestions for improvement.

Updated to version 0.4.0

Reverted to the old feed reader – there were problems with MagpieRSS in WordPress with international characters.

Or you could try BDP RSS Aggregator

Updated to version 0.3.2 – hopefully all the glitches have now been addressed.

I take my rss feed and place it on my site (albeit aggregated with other sire feeds) using the BDP RSS Aggregator

(1) it could be that you don’t have internet access from your server.

(2) You could try the latest version – as it accesses the internet in a different (more friendly) way.

Most likely, you get the message because your version of PHP does not have multibyte language support enabled … ask your web host to do it, or have a look at https://www.phpbuilder.com/manual/ref.mbstring.php
