Yes even though it didn’t display like I wanted it, the code is entirely from the theme.

What I am asking is about the data that is being passed thru, not how they are later massaging it.

It has the external url and the anchor text in the link info.

I was wondering if I could just get the external url only. Was thinking that this would be the way it is if it was the shortcode version of this data so you could create your own Read More” text.

Hope I am making sense…

Allen, (apologies, hope this looks better)

Currently working thru an issue in my theme (I know you have nothing to do with that but my issue is coming from the actual data).

I asked theme support about the link data being passed thru as I am getting the link plus the anchor text. I only want the link so I can use my own text.

here is an example…
‘
<div class=”readMore”>” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>” rel=”nofollow”><?php _e(‘Read More…’,’mythemeshop’); ?></div>
‘
returns
‘
<div class=”readMore”>China growth data lifts Europe shares, oil and metals” rel=”nofollow”>Read More…</div>
‘

I want to use php-the_title as the url (without the text) and be able to go directly to the external post location.

Theme support told me this info is being passed from the rss plugin.

Is there a way for just the url to be passed thru?

Understood and that’s what I thought. Was just trying to match my page of autopost to page of shortcode. At the moment they seem totally different. Will recheck my settings. Thanks.

All fixed. Thanks Allen.

Added a menu item “Top Stories – shortcode.

Same error message as multi importer widget.

Happy to work thru this with you or even give you the admin login info if that would help diagnose.

Best…

Allen,

Uploaded that php. Deactivated. Activated.

Still have the widget issue.

Ran the Diagnostic feed validator. Had error with
https://feeds2.feedburner.com/time/business
(Had no problem with this feed before the upgrade.)

Trashed this feed for now.

Ran the validator again. No errors.

Got widget error.

Changed the Widget from All Categories to just 1 that I know posted after the upgrade.

Got widget error.

Wondering if if has to do with the 500 error and maybe all the posts didn’t get converted to the new category format. Don’t know how to check that! Or perhaps something else causing the issue.

Yes. The multi importer widget. Will grab that file a little later and report back. Thanks.

My site is https://www.whiddy.com

Got all my 121 feeds in the list now!!!

Flushed the cache but still showing the widget error.

Have to go out for a couple of hours. Hopefully by then the widget will correct itself and I will add some shortcode pages to the menu.

Very happy with the upgrade, so far………..

Yes there is the upload feed option but has to be keyed in. I guess I meant a file import option. I understand that the automatic needs to work!

Now up to 113 items on the feed list so looks like that is going to work.

I don’t currently have any shortcode pages on my menu but will add some later.

Getting this message where the widget should be…

Recent posts…
There is a problem – it appears you are using categories and no feeds have been put into those categories.

But maybe that will correct itself when I have all my feeds again.

Great job Allen.

Would love to have the WP Category shown in the Feed List and edit.

Have upgraded to 2.67.67.

Will upgrade to the beta later today.

Yes I totally understand as I knew they would be very different.

I guess I was just hoping that there would be a separate plugin WP-RSS-Multi-Importer-beta. That way it would be easier (for me of course!!!) to do some beta testing but return to current plugin features easily by deactivating/activating plus flushing cache(s). (as each plugin would use it’s own input tabs and database structure). Again am new to the WordPress world so don’t have any idea if this is feasible or doable within the plugin environment.

Anyway it doesn’t really matter as I plan to keep using your plugin with the new release.

So am still in for beta testing and can start this weekend going forward. Just let me know what I need to do and am looking forward to helping out.

Best…

Thank you Allen. I have updated the plugin and will do some testing.

I’ll have more time to try the beta over the weekend and beyond and will be happy to provide feedback.

Is it possible to have the regular plugin and the beta plugin as separate plugins so I can activate and deactivate each one as need be? At this time my site is very experimental so it doesn’t matter if I switch it around a lot or add extra pages to test different scenarios.

Ok Allen,

Have switched it to pagination and will do some more testing, then report back. Not easy to tell you which page has an issue since that issue can go away after the next post is added in but show up again at another time.

The sequence of posts being displayed incorrectly may be tied to the having the 2 cachings. i.e. I need your plugin to grab the feeds and do your magic but also need W3 or another caching plugin to speed up the website (have upgraded my level of hosting but still very slow if I turn off the major caching plugin). I need to think that thru some more.

Be happy to do some beta testing. Still a newbie with WordPress but have years of experience in various areas of the technology industry.

Best…

Pete D.

Thanks Allen!!!

The theme is responsive but maybe not as responsive as I would like!!!

Very new to WP and CSS so will skip changing CSS files until later.
The theme allows me to add CSS code so I will use that for now.

You are right. I am (was) using BJ Lazy Load. Deactivated it and the images display. Will continue to use Load More option and that will take care of any responsive pagination issue.

Am currently using the hdweight shortcode parameter. Is there a shortcode parameter for changing post title color?
