The answer is with 2.9.2 if you put the post in the trash then feedwordpress will not try to resyndicate it. (Thank you to the author who personally answered that question a while back)

However, the other option would be to write a filter to have feedwordpress only syndicated the last week or 2 of articles and then once you permanently delete it it will not resyndicate.

Hope this helps and answers your question!!!

I’d be glad to help you, can you show me a sample from your feed- maybe I can figure something out from that. I apologize for not responding faster, I’ve been busy with work and rewriting a theme.

I had to go through and just tick each syndication and that started the ball rolling. Probably a hiccup, just a hassle to do with almost 400 links.

I would be glad to help you here. Have you made sure that under the Categories and Tags option you have selected “Do not create new categories”? Also what is your site default for categories and tags? Filter or something else?

I feed through feedburner, wordpress, blogspot, and even a couple joomla feeds and don’t have a problem so maybe we can figure out what is specific to your setup that may be causing this.

Many regards,

I use wordtwit with feedwordpress. It works pretty well. Hope this helps.

Olivier:

I run a pretty large feed with a large readership and for me uptime is the most important factor. So if I were in your situation I’d troubleshoot like this:
1. Disable all plugins and switch to the basic theme. What happens? If it works as advertised then I know it’s the theme.
2. If that doesn’t work I’d say ‘screw it’ and just export and backup what I can (using wordpress export and phpmyadmin backup), make sure to get multiple backups (I’m super paranoid due to a past incident). Backup your folders in your public_html (on the hosting- www, htdocs, httpdocs- whatever it is called) and then redo the whole wordpress installation.

I’ve done it in under 2 hours myself when under the gun. My database back then was currently about 200MB. I’ve learned how to trim/maintain it so I don’t have to ever import 200MB again. I hope this helps you some in the advice department.

In reading your other posts has your hosting provided to you the reason for the 500 error?

What is the traffic on your blog like? I know I have had to upgrade hosting plans 2 times since Aug due to concurrent mysql connections. (this resulted in an error 500).

Good luck!

The cron job I set up was done in ssh. However, most people don’t have that access but there is an ability to set up a cron job in your hosting’s Control Panel. Some hosting providers (Dreamhost for example) has you put in the command as is. My hosting provider, through the control panel, requires you to choose how often, and one script to run, and put the path in, and save. (I use Mediatemple.)

No matter what hosting you use you should be able to access the KB and get the instructions on setting up the cron job for updates.

I really hope this helps!

Not sure if it will help but I use Feedwordpress Attribution for this.
https://projects.radgeek.com/add-attribution-feedwordpress/

It gave me a quick and dirty way to add authors and other neat attributions. Good luck!

I am looking for an answer for this as well. If you know can you reply so anyone else searching can find the answer?

I found this but do not know exactly if it applies to the current feed wordpress. If you can use it maybe you can tell me how to, as well, since I have been looking for a way for all posts fetched from my syndication list to automatically be excerpts with a link to “read more” which points to the original source’s blog post.

Link to original source of info:
https://techgeneration.net/2008/01/21/aggregating-blogs-with-feedwordpress/

Here’s the short/long of it

And imported excerpts instead of the full content with a link to read the original (in feedwordpress.php):

$this->post['post_content'] = strip_tags($excerpt).’<br /><a target=”_blank” href=”‘.$this->item['link'].’”
>[Read original &rarr;]</a>’

;

I had plugins in the mu-plugins folder. Moved those out and feedwordpress worked.

I am just dropping tables and copying the edited link table to each link table. Works faster than what I was doing.

I’m looking to achieve this as well. Did you figure it out?
