first, #1 was solved in the recent update..so update the plugin to 3.11
#2 Is you mean, that on the autoPost admin page, the scheduling doesn’t work (meaning you choose something and that isn’t what is shown in WordPress cron)?
#3 Itemes go into the database…if you run a news site I would bring them in as often as possible. Right now, the minimum times for this is set to 30 minutes. Is it that you want this faster (like every 10 minutes). That’s as real time as my plugin is capable of.

also, when you say “really don’t appreciate you not responding to my previous threads” why didn’t you respond when I asked you to do so here:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/all-feeds-lost-after-upgrade-cant-update-the-database?replies=4#post-5898777
Ok about #2 I mean that I select on autopost to fetch items every 10 minutes and when I run the diagnostics It says “The AutoPost is successfully scheduled for this time period: hourly.” no matter what else I select in the autopost settings this won’t change. Sometimes a little trick like the one I mentioned works, but not always I am still testing and haven’t figured out how to solve it.
#3 The problem isn’t with the fetching of the items but with the publishing. For example I want my items to be fetched and the autopost to start posting them the minute they are fetched. So if one of the news blogs publishes something now over the next 10 minutes tops my site will have fetched it and publish it through your plugin.
However in my case although the items are fetched normally instead of getting published they go to scheduling and are scheduled for publishing over the next few hours. Sometimes like I said before even that doesn’t work and they miss schedule and aren’t published at all.
also about the last thing you said, I did respond to you Allen, we exchanged like 10 mails until you didn’t respond to my last one. That is why I had to recreate my previous site and currently testing and asking you all these questions so that I can make sure that everything works fine. And I also had made another thread before the one you posted and in that one you didn’t even bother to deal with it.
Anyway thanks for the quick answer on this one.

regarding #2, I just tried switching the autoPost several times to different settings and they always changed as expected in the diagnostics page..so I have no idea why your wouldn’t change correctly unless the code that determined what was shown on the diagnostics page isn’t getting the right information – this turns out to make no difference, however, because the correct schedule is in the wordpress cron – so download the plugin Crontrol and you can see if changes are actually reflected in the change in the cron itself.
#3 is related to the WordPress timing settings – the plugin gets the local time from your wordpress settings and your locality – are these set correctly? If it’s not working make sure it’s not being overwritten in the wp-config.php file since that can cause havoc with the time settings.
I already have the Crontrol plugin it shows “hourly” on auto post although “every 15 minutes” is selected on the menu.
The local hour is set correctly and I couldn’t find anything in the wp-config file.

ok…so you saying in Crontrol you see the hook wp_rss_multi_event_feedtopost set to hourly, while in the AutoPost admin page you have it set to 15 minutes?
Exactly and I still can’t find a way to have the posts published immediatelly.
Hi there,
I don’t want to hijack the thread but I have a similar issue.
I have the same rss feed set to autopost and set into the widget option. In the widget the feeds show up instantly, but in autopost they come out more than an hour later. My autopost is also set to 15min.
Hope this helps to correct the problem.

it works that way in the widget and shortcode, since it draws directly from the feed database (which if it’s updated regularly will always have very recent feeds), the autoPost has it’s own timing which also draws from the feed database, so you need to set that to it’s lowest value (which is 10 minutes)…are you saying you want to set that to an even lower value (like every 5 minutes)?
from what I get is the same with me. Although the autopost is scheduled to import and publish every 15 minutes it does so after an hour or maybe more.

the autopost works on a cron scheduler…it won’t publish the feed items until the cron scheduler goes off. To understand how WordPress makes the cron scheduler go off, read this:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/scheduled-posts-still-not-working-in-282?replies=19#post-1175405
I think we need to address the two problems one by one.
the first one that isn’t explained by the thread you posted is the fact that although I have chosen “every 15 minutes” in the Autopost tab for the feeds import, both in the Diagnostics and the Crontrol I see that it does so every hour.
I tried to modify the event in crontrol but it seems like I can’t and I suppose that has something to do with your plugin that prevents any changes made on it’s schedule outside the WP RSS Multi Importer menu.
The second problem that I have is the fact that when the Autopost imports the feeds it doesn’t post them directly.
However, I think that if we solve the first one there is a possibility to solve the second one.
So… how do I make the Autopost to import feed every 15 minutes?

I hope you’re joking… I know that this is where you do this and I’ve done it a dozen times. the thing is that it doesn’t work. I click save settings and still nothing seems to happen, both diagnostcs and crontrol show that The feeds aren’t imported every 15 minutes.
I can send you my admin credentials and see for yourself if you don’t believe me.

Looks like you have a wordpress cron problem.
