The filter works, but it can be a problem for the site. It is limiting all posts to <5000 words. When we tried 10,000 the fix failed. As far as I know, WordPress has no limit on post size. Is that correct? If so, your “fix” is breaking WordPress if we need to post a long article. Can your developers come up with a fix that doesn’t force all posts to be <5000 words?

I added the filter and it appears to work. I’ll keep an eye on the list to see if the fix sticks.

Thanks

I added the snippet. The error continues. Only a full reboot of the server seems to temporarily restore it. Same error in the log about not being able to write the item to the database. This feed isnt unusual. I’ve been listing it for over 10 years.

I’m not sure what happened, but I rebooted my server for a different reason and the missing feed appeared on my sidebar. I have no clue what changed. This was NOT the first reboot since the problem started. The server rebooted on Sunday at midnight. That did NOT fix the problem. Can you investigate further?

That’s what I have been saying from the beginning. The missing blog should appear under “Blogs we Like” on the sidebar. As you can see your pluging displays other blogs. However the one blog won’t display. As I sent you before, the error log shows retrieving the missing item and then says “Error wrtiting database”. I send you this yesterday. Obviously the plugin writes the database for other blogs. Also, I deleted the problem feed source and recreated it. The problem continues to persist.

i recreated the feed. I went to the site’s latest post (https://strictjuliespanks.blogspot.com. I went to page source and searched for page source. I found the rss feed url (https://strictjuliespanks.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss ) and deleted the old feed and added a new one with the url. The record was created and I saw a list of posts. However, here is what was in the error log for the feed:

2024-07-29 09:32:02 Info Life, Love, And Spanking Import completed in 0.09 seconds! 2024-07-29 09:38:02 Info Strict Julie Spanked Starting import for “Strict Julie Spanked” 2024-07-29 09:38:03 Error Strict Julie Spanked Failed to save a feed item: Could not insert post into the database. 2024-07-29 09:38:03 Info Strict Julie Spanked Import completed in 0.26 seconds!

It isn’t a caching issue. Problem persists over days and Iflushed all caches. The URL I input into the plugin is https://strictjuliespanks.blogspot.cfom I’m getting the latest feeds when I go into the plugin’s list of sources. All settings are vottrvy. Bear in mind that this item displayed perfectly until yesterday. I made no changes anywhere on the site.

It still doesn’t work on Firefox but it works as you said on Chrome. Firefox just sits there and doesn’t refresh. My other site works pefectly on Firefox. I can’t find a difference in the way the sites are configured.

I discovered that Creative Minds Tooltip Glossary Pro breaks your plugin. Their support gave me a workaround. Inside the widget this is how the shortcodes look:

[glossary_exclude]
[wp-rss-aggregator]
[/glossary_exclude]

It doesn’t explain why the two plugins interfere, but it solves the problem.

I believe I am using the free version. Am I wrong?

I checked the logs. The items are being imported. I also checked feed items and they are appearing there. The problem seems to be with displaying results. I am running WordPress 5.7.

I had issues with cloudfront and feeds. It is easily fixed. Go to your cloudfront console in AWS. Then the behaviors tab. Add a new behavior called “feed/*” (no quotes). Then change the attributes as follows:

Allowed http methods: GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PUT, POST, PATCH, DELETE
Cache and origin request settings: Legacy
Cache Based on Selected Request Headers: All
Forward Cookies: All
Query String Forwarding and Caching” Forward all Cache based on All

Leave the rest alone. Then save this. Move it to the top of the list (item 0)

This will route feed requests to your server. This solved the problem for me.

5.5 has deprecated some jQuerey functionality. It has caused a lot of trouble for many plugins. The following errors are shown for RSS Aggregator:

/wp-rss-aggregator/js/admin-custom.js: jQuery.fn.load() is deprecated

Other admin screens may show other errors.
Wordpress has created a temporary plugin that “fixes”the errors. It is the JQuery Migrate Helper plugin. It fixed all my problems. WP 5.5.1 will be out soon that will also help. Plugin authors are advised to update code ASAP to fix.

Installing that plugin fixed it! Thank you so much for your help.

I solved the problem. The root certificate from Comodo expired on May 31. This was not easily detected, but RSS aggregator sort of picked it up without clearly identifying the problem. A cURL error 60 which the plugin cited is too vague. Anyway, my ISP got me the new CACert with an updated root and all is well.

Thanks for your time.
