I had this problem as well but I don’t think it was linked to w3-total-cache, when I had it I found it happened when I upgraded to WP 3.0.1 and had the updated Contact form (2.3.1 I believe). Weird thing is it happened on 1 site but not on my others (I currently use all plugins on 4 sites) I was able to get it functioning by downgrading contact form 7 and getting that working and then turning all plugins on one at a time to make sure there was no trouble.

Sorry I cannot be much more help than this.

I am going to have to make an addendum. In doing some work last night I had to import wp_links, wp_term_relationships, wp_term_taxonomy in order to get the Link Category for links. Now – that – the link category is stored in wp_terms.

So in retrospect what I did last night was I imported wp_links and it had all my links but missing link category – I had wp_terms which had the correct link category (Contributors). So in order to sync the two I had to import wp_term_relationships, wp_term_taxonomy.

How I figured this out is I poked around different tables to see how things were put in it and then this handy dandy image helped me find the relationship between links and terms.:

This is a bit late – it’s all in the mysql database. I can find most of the information under the links table personally, but I’ve not gone beyond that.

I can’t remember specifically but once I did reinstall wordpress and used a fresh database but then imported the links table and feedwordpress had all it’s info there. I say this because at the time I was syndicating over 600 blogs and all I could recover from the database was the links table and I was able to get the site back up in under 2 hours. If the info was elsewhere I’d have spent a LOT more time. But I can’t guarantee it because I didn’t write the plugin and this is all from my experience.

This is a necropost almost but I hope you see it or you’ve figured out your problem.

What version of feedwordpress are you using and what version of wordpress?

I use feedwordpress pretty heavily (I currently syndicate over 800 sources) and it’s a solid plugin so maybe I can help you troubleshoot?

Maybe I understand the donation links more because my husband is a programmer who does a lot of open source stuff in his spare time. These people have to eat, feed their families, and live like the rest of us. Not only do they support a plugin for free and in their spare time they also work a full time job. I always see the time spent doing any free project (monetary or not) is time spent away from family and friends. I hope this explains why there are donation links with any free wordpress plugin (not just feedwordpress).

I want to help you as much as I can from my experience of feedwordpress so let me know some more info (asked above) and hopefully I can provide you some help.

I do hope, though, that this message finds your problems fixed! ??

I found the answer myself so writing it here in case anyone else cares:

I changed my automatic sql database cleanup to once every 2 weeks clearing out posts older than 6 days. After that job is done I run another job to remove HLIC images.
find /your/path/to/yourwebservers/public_html/wp-content/uploads/HLIC -mtime +6 -exec rm {} \;
This removes all files older than 6 days.

I hope this helps someone as it helped me and makes this plugin the BEST.

ok, try this????

<?php if (is_syndicated()) : ?><a href="<?php the_syndication_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?> </a><?php else : ?><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><?php endif; ?>

What this does is allow me to have a perma link setting to point to the local copy but in the template to have the title of the post link to the actual blog post that was syndicated.

If the object was locally written then the title will point to the local copy permalink. I think if you have an if you must have an else.

NOTE: I am not a programmer nor do I pretend to be one on the Internet. Your mileage may vary! Good luck!

run your sql query on cron? That’s my suggestion. Good luck!

(the DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = “revision”;)

You mean like a read more link?

I would just use the FWP Limit Post Size Plugin.

Charles has so many extras for feedwordpress, he’s truly fantastic.

I use Limit Post Size. I used to use the excerpt reloaded but moved to this instead and haven’t had an issue. (It saves me some time rather than fuss with the template.)

I have submitted a bug report, just to let you know. And referenced this post. Thank you!

Frederick:
I can duplicate this problem with the development version downloaded from www.ads-software.com on 6.25.2010.

Would you like a bug report filed?

Frederick:
First of all, thank you for responding. You have no idea how much that means to me.

I thought that originally myself but the file is there. Here’s the kicker too – I uninstall W3-total-cache and it removes everything but it complains about advanced-cache.php asking me to make sure it’s gone or reinstall the plugin. So here’s what I did:

I have w3-total-cache installed on another domain (same server) and it activates proper but when I change settings the settings won’t change, they go back to what they were on default activation. So I just copied everything from that wp-content folder to the current domains and all is fixed EXCEPT

I am experiencing a different issue:
An example: I go to change page caching to Xcache Opcode rather than disk and it won’t save the change. It is like that for any settings. the w3-total-cache-config.php is 777 and user/group i’ve tried username/www-data, and www-data/www-data (username is in the group www-data as well) and still no dice. Am I missing something that it writes to that needs to be writeable?

I am using : 0.8.5.2, wordpress 3.0, nginx (as mentioned) w/ xcache which is confirmed working (I have been testing it with my other server using apache benchmarking) Would the .9 version be better? Also is it better to get it from subversion or download from the wordpress extend site?

PS: Once again, thank you and if you need me to modify the original post or mark this as resolved and start a new post, I will be happy to.

I run an aggregator that scrapes a lot of blogs and there’s an etiquette with it.

With my site they are required to sign up to be scraped. I will not automatically add a blog without the owners permission. I also will not check their site for new posts more than once in an hour period. I actually manually set this number to 1.5 hours because I prefer that. I make it very clear that all content is owned by the original owner and I excerpt the post and point to the original source. Also my permalinks point to the original source.

I also don’t make money off it ?? but it’s an online community aggregator, rather than something to just get google ranking on specific keywords and use adsense to try to make money. Like a poster above said: scraping is not a business idea at all. Original content is the key.

Version of wordpress?
Is the plugin really that necessary?
I’d like to know if you are running an older version of wordpress, but I’d copy the plugin folder from my server to my local machine (for investigation) and then delete the plugin from your server.

Then I’d open the php file in Notepad++ and have a look around. Do NOT open it in firefox or anything else just a plain text viewer ONLY.

Anyway, from there I’d look for strange things in the code. I’d also see if the threats still occur after I remove the plugin.

Lastly if I were you I’d consider once you clean this up to change your passwords.

(A client’s site was recently hit with the base64(eval hack which redirected visitors to some .ru site and also caused lots of errors in the dashboard. Using a similar method to the one I listed above helped me determine the problem and clean it. I also had to modify her sql database and change her sql and wordpress passwords and EVERY users password just in case.)

feedwordpress is a well maintained RSS aggregator type plugin for wordpress. I use it myself.

Well here is my understanding of it:

Feedwordpress goes through every 60 minutes and checks if there’s an update to the blog.

The cron job will actually pull from those marked blogs (in the 60 minute cycle) the posts that need to be aggregated.

For example I have eh.. 500+ blogs that I syndicate. I keep the default at 60 minutes for feedwordpress polling for updates on blogs (this is mentioned in the documentation – it’s best to leave that default).
Every 10 minutes I have a cron job run to pull updates from those ‘marked’ by the 60 minute polling.

I think there are other options, to pull updates on load or after load of the website which can be used instead of the cron job but you have to determine what is best for your site.

I hope this answers your question proper. Please let me know if it doesn’t.
