Well, I just tossed in $20, which is at least my second contribution to FeedWordPress. It’s a fine product, and well worth supporting.

moos,

I'd need to know more details to be sure, but what you're describing sounds a lot like what happens when you try to syndicate an Atom 1.0 feed (which is what the YouTube feed you linked to is) without having installed the MagpieRSS upgrade that comes with FeedWordPress. (Cf 1 for some discussion of the basic issue.)

Did you copy the contents of the MagpieRSS-upgrade/ subdirectory to the wp-includes/ directory on your WordPress installation? If not, try doing that, wait an hour (to clear out the internal cache), and then see if it fixes your problem. If so, let me know, and we can try to ferret out what the real cause of the problem might be.

JB Design and Photo,

Thanks for reporting this. The bug you noticed is not MU-specific; it was just a dumb oversight on my part in changes I made to the interface code for versions of WordPress 2.5 and above (as well as for corresponding MU versions).

I issued a new release today (2008.1101) which should hopefully squash this bug.

Let me know if you have any further trouble or any questions that need answering.

If this works you will have my monetary support as I said before. My question to you is how much money do you need from the community to make this project worth your time? I’m only asking so I can make the appropriate donation.

Moo, I had the same problem. Use Yahoo Pipes and search for “normalizer” to fix the non-standard GDATA RSS for complete usage under Feedwordpress. Yahoo Pipes have become my best friends since I started using Feedwordpress.

I do have bad experience with the latest version and need help from Radgeek. Since I installed the latest version, my attempts to update feeds are constantly plagued by one of the following errors:

I am shown a 404 Wordpress template page while the URL shows the page I should go to (http://www.truthaboutthings.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=feedwordpress/syndication.php)
I am shown a 500 Internal Server Error. My error log shows: Premature end of script headers: index.php, referer: http://www.truthaboutthings.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=feedwordpress/syndication.php

What is the problem here? 30-seconds-PHP-execution time timeout? Or PHP Memory overload? Since I updated, this has become the norm. We really need load management here!

I was doing some testing: i’m trying to use the latest version of feedwordpress with WP 2.63 for a few youtube feeds, however it only seems to import the link. when i go to New Syndicated Feed and a feed like this: http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/standardfeeds/GB/recently_featured

it doesn’t import the content (also not visible as ’sample item’).

btw. keep up the good work. I have this plugin working on another site, and i love it!

Back again! The latest version seems to be working fine on stand alone wordpress installs, but I can't seem to get it working on Wordpress Mu.

The plugin installs fine without any errors, but when I go to the syndication tab it doesn't give me the option to add new sites (problem with the fwptestwp_version function on line 280 in syndication.php maybe?

If I try to load wp-admin/admin.php?page=feedwordpress/feedwordpress.php it gives me this error: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare feedwordpressautoupdate() (previously declared in /wp-content/plugins/feedwordpress/feedwordpress.php:199) in /wp-content/plugins/feedwordpress/feedwordpress.php on line 207

Any Ideas?
