Hi, I asked the same question about using categories too: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-docs-auto-tags-error-message-on-settings-page-after-install?replies=3

But didn’t hear back so I guess the author didn’t have time. I think that’d be great (and I love this auto tag plugin! It’s so useful)

I don’t know anything about plugin development but I’m going to be brave and open up the files to see if I can figure out how to create a categories version. I will let you know if I come up with anything useful.

Hi everyone,

I had this same problem and tried a few different methods including those above and nothing worked.

I installed this plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/simple-301-redirects/

and that seems to have done the job, although certain URL’s that contained brackets – ( or ) – are still not redirecting so I think that may be what was causing the problem.

I also noticed as I was adding the URLs in to the plugin that I had a couple of errors in the list of 301’s that was causing the 500 internal error, but even with these removed the other redirects didn’t work (they just went to the new WP homepage instead of the new URL)

I recently added 301 redirects to a WP htaccess file that didn’t contain any of these funky characters in the URLs and everything worked fine, so I’m fairly sure they are likely to be the culprit.

Hope this is of some help to other people experiencing this annoying issue.

Hi, I also need this feature. I have considered using the content scheduler plugin (the idea just came to me in a flash this morning then I read your post! Great minds think alike eh)

So I can use that but would prefer to have the posts automatically delete/go to draft when they’re no longer in the RSS feed. By using the content scheduler plugin I will have some posts expire before they should be and some not expired long after they should have been.

If anyone knows a way to make Feedwordpress handle this please let me know, or if the plugin author could consider making this a feature that would be great (happy to make a small financial contribution towards development if that helps ?? although the project I’m working on is pro-bono for a non-profit organisation so I don’t have lots of funds available unfortunately)

Note: I’ve now disabled the image upload feature of TDO, hopefully that will stop this happening again. Still need to find an alternative as users need to be able to add images to their posts.

I’m also in need of an alternative URGENTLY!

An exploit has been found for TDO I have had malicious files uploaded to my website which means my entire hosting account has been suspended temporarily. (Hopefully being fixed now)

I hope the author of TDO will fix the problem but for now I really need to find an alternative.

Will keep looking and if I find anything suitable will share the info here.

Hi John, thanks for the quick update to the plugin. I’ve upgraded to the new version.

A category version would be fantastic! I think a separate plugin would be good (and I think it should be Doc’s Auto-cats ?? ) because not everyone will need both features and this is a nice little plugin on it’s own.

When I was searching this was the only auto-tag plugin I could find that added tags only based on my chosen phrases, the others seemed to add tags that the system decided were right based on the content. This plugin has been perfect for my needs (auto-sorting posts for rescue animals in need of adoption)

I will keep a close eye out for the category plugin, thanks again, really appreciate it ??

I found the answer to this, I think at first I was not searching for the right terms, but when I searched php inside echo things made more sense (thanks to this post – https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/php-inside-php-echo)

Posting the solution here in case anyone is interested:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[hide-this-part]
this is where I put my html...blablabla...
'. the_id() .'
[/hide-this-part]'); ?>

I also had trouble having the post ID generated as part of the item name of a Paypal button WITHIN the shortcode area, and that worked by using:

. get_the_ID() .

instead of . the_id() .

Will mark this as resolved now.

Have re-posted this question in the themes & templating section as I realised this maybe wasn’t the best place for it. Apologies for the double post.

Here is the other thread: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/displaying-post-id-within-shortcode-php-in-template-1?replies=1

[please stay with your current topic – it does not matter too much in what sub forum you are posting. other, duplicate thread removed]

Sorry, I’m silly! Figured it out in case anyone else is interested:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[hide-this-part]my text here[/hide-this-part]'); ?>

I would have trouble using the page ID or slug because the URL is from an external site, but I have managed to achieve what I needed as follows (in case anyone else is interested)

<?php $key=”rssfeedurl”; // the custom field
$rssurl = get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, TRUE);
if ($rssurl != “” ) {
get_image_feed_list(“$rssurl”, 10, “ImagesList”, 1);
}
?>

Thanks anyway for your help, much appreciated.

Hi, thanks for the reply ?? Apologies if my explanation wasn’t clear, I’m not very proficient with PHP and had tried to knock something together myself which seemingly was wrong! I will explain more clearly…

I’d like to have a custom template with this code in:

<?php get_image_feed_list(“https://www.example1.com/rss,https://www.example2.com/rss2&#8221;, 10, “myImagesList”); ?>

And have the URL part generated by a custom field on the post/page the custom template has been assigned to.

Hopefully that is simple to achieve? I have done something similar before but the custom field was not put within a section of php so I was able to figure it out then ??

Thanks again for any advice

I have this same error on WP v. 3.1.3.

The plugin still works (both in the widget area and when hardcoded in to a template file) but I just cannot edit those options in the widget area, which isn’t too big a problem for me at the moment.

If you make the #primary & #secondary width wider (where it says width: 220px;), then edit the margins on #container and #content to fit (i.e. if you make the sidebars 40px wider, you want to reduce the margins on the other areas.)

Also, I usually find it easier, if working on a fixed width site, to make the width static, so where it says ‘width: 100%’ on #container, I would change that to around 700px (worth trying if anyone has problems with the floats)

Hope that helps ??

I had this same problem and it was a conflict between this and the plugin I was using to display category posts in the sidebar. Try a different plugin for that (there are a few available) and it should fix this problem.

I just had this same problem, there was no difference in the text in the files but something must have gotten messed up somewhere when copying/saving/moving the files I guess. I was using Notepad2 to edit.

I fixed it by copying the code from the buggy file, opening a clean version of the twenty ten style.css file, pasting the content in there and resaving it over the buggy one. Now everything is back to normal.

Hope that helps anyone else looking for answers on this odd problem ??
