Having a problem getting the plugin to read the following feed.
http://www.baptistbiblehour.org/resources/feed/devotional/
It returns nothing. Any help appreciated.

This plugin does not show the full content of each feed item. You can optionally configure it to show the feed item description, which is something slightly different. This may or not be what you want.
If you are editing the plugin, keep in mind that your changes will be overwritten if you update the plugin when an upgrade notice appears for it. Better to request this as a feature instead.
Regarding that RSS feed, I was able to display it on my site using the latest version of the plugin (1.4.2). So I’ll need more information to diagnose the issue.
However, if you have manually edited the plugin, you’ll need to reinstall the stock version of it before I can debug. I can’t help you if you edit the plugin and break it.
Of course, if you have not manually edited the plugin, then please post a link to a page where you have included the shortcode so I can see what is happening.
The URL is:
http://www.fbcamory.org/index.php/daily-bible-reading/
the pages script looks like this:
<?php
if (function_exists(‘jp_get_rss_feed_items’)) {
jp_get_rss_feed_items(array(
‘url’ => “http://www.baptistbiblehour.org/resources/feed/devotional/”,
‘numitems’ => 1,
‘nofollow’ => true,
‘cssclass’ => ‘myclass’,
‘getdesc’ => true,
‘opennewwindow’ => false,
‘show’ => true
));
}
?>

How are you calling this code because I used it and it worked for me.

Sorry, forgot to include that in my post.
I am using the EXEC-PHP plugin to type the above php code into a text widget. the content on the page above is done the same way just pulling from a different rss feed.
I appreciate your help. However I have created a script using curl to pull the devotion from sbc.net.
I still would like to know what I am doing to cause this not to work.

I don’t know how EXEC-PHP works. I don’t know what namespace it runs in, what priority it runs in or whether it runs before or after other plugins.
Have you tried using the shortcode instead, the usage is in the FAQ. See I want to use the plugin in a widget. How?
shortcode works the same way.
Nothing is returned.
Are there any conflicts with other plugins?

I put this code into my functions.php:
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
Then I drag the Text widget to my sidebar and add this to the widget:
[jp-rss-feed url="http://www.baptistbiblehour.org/resources/feed/devotional/" numitems="3"]
And it outputs correctly: Screenshot

I am going to mark this as resolved, if that is not the case then please post again and I will change it back.
If it is possible, how can I show the publish date for this feed: http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/news/rss as well as the item description? This is as far as I have got: http://capture.sd1dev2.co.uk/
Thanks.

The post date of each item is displayed on mouseover. Just hover your mouse over the post link and it should say “Posted MM-DD-YYYY … “
FYI please do not post to old threads if you have a different issue. Create a new one for your support issue in the future. Thx
