RSS Shortcode Showing Old Feed Items

    We are having an issue where the shortcode is showing very old feed items that don’t even exist in the RSS feed anymore. Sometimes to fix the issue we have to click “Deleted Feed Items Now” and then “Fetch Feed Items Now”, but other times that doesn’t do the trick and we actually have to delete the feed items one by one from Feed Items list.

    The feeds are set to update every 30 minutes, but obviously that’s not happening.

    We are seeing this across a number of websites. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    We’re having the same issue. Yours solved in the meantime, Jonathan?

    Unfortunately, we weren’t able to find a solution and have started testing the WP RSS Aggregator plugin as a replacement.

    We talked briefly with the developer of the WP RSS Multi-Importer plugin and even offered to pay for support, but he said he didn’t have a lot of time to devote to it, which we totally understand.

    The WP RSS Aggregator plugin has excellent support and I think there is also a paid option if needed.

    For both plugins the issue we seem to run into is that the feed items tend to be saved to your website’s database. If the feed items change or are deleted, they often aren’t changed or deleted in your website’s database for a long time.

    I hope that’s helpful. Good luck.
