   I have a LOT of ebay rss feeds on a couple of sites.
   ebay's new rss feeds regularly generate error posts via feedwordpress, always with the title starting with: "1970-01-01.."

   Could you put together a quick fwp filter to stop these posts ever being created in the first place?

   I've had a go at implementing a (fwp) filter to remove them, but it doesn't appear to do anything :(.

   Thanks in advance..

   Never mind. I've done it myself.
   I've used another fwp filter as a starting point, and then changed the logic (and names etc).
   My filter looks for "1970-01-01 00:00:00" within the title field.
   (I found that sometimes the string was prefixed with "eBay Search: (Error)")..

   Anyway, I'm sorted. The filter is working on two of my sites without problems. I've not looked into packaging the filter as a plugin yet.
   I'll let you know if I do..

   what filter did you use as a starting point.
   I would like to filter/change the content of a post and used the 'Strip HTML Tags from Posts' filter as a starting point. It worked with the last version of FWP but I can't get it to work now.

   Did something change in the latest revision
   any ideas?

   I am using these hooks:

   `add_action(
   /*hook=*/ 'feedwordpress_admin_page_posts_meta_boxes',
   /*function=*/ array(&$this, 'posts_meta_boxes'),
   /*priority=*/ 100,
   /*arguments=*/ 1
   );
   add_action(
   /*hook=*/ 'feedwordpress_admin_page_posts_save',
   /*function=*/ array(&$this, 'posts_save'),
   /*priority=*/ 100,
   /*arguments=*/ 2
   );

   add_filter(
   /*hook=*/ 'the_content',
   /*function=*/ array(&$this, 'the_content'),
   /*priority=*/ 10010
   );
   add_filter(
   /*hook=*/ 'the_content_rss',
   /*function=*/ array(&$this, 'the_content'),
   /*priority=*/ 10010
   );`

   I used a filter about duplicate posts.

   Unfortunately, I've just found a "1970-01-01 00:00:00" that got through last night.
   It seems my filter isn't working.. :(

   yeah looks like i'll be working on this one too. I have a couple other uses for filtering the content of the post but can't seem to find a hook that works. If i find anything useful, I'll post it here.
