    Right now a lot of article that are being fed to my blog come up under categories they should come under. I have put keyword filtering for all of my categories, and use the same source for a variety of categories, but very often articles slip into categories of which the articles do not match the filter keyword. A lot of the article in certain categories do not have the keywords in them. However, they have the keywords of another category, but they do not get fed to the correct category. Why is this happening?

    What I have noticed is that this happens mostly with the category i most recently added sources to.

    Right now virtually all of the incoming posts are being posted under this 1 category, even though keywords do not match

    first of all, the plugin doesn’t work by filtering keywords into categories…feeds get placed into plugin categories, and these plugin categories can get placed into blog categories. The filters are simply used to filter in and out feed it’s items for a given category – they don’t place items into categories.

    regardless of that, the filter does not seem to work properly, thats the point. For one feed category I used the keyword “bulls” and posts still show up for this category even if the word bulls is not found anywhere in the article. Are you saying the plugin does not function that way then, and what is happening is supposed to be happening? That would be unusual since it is properly working for all of my other feed categories.

    The most problmatic source is sportsillustrated.cnn.com. It seems to not allow filtering by any keyword
