# alinks and FeedWordPress problems… HELP PLEASE?

 * Someone help me please?
 * This aLinks plugin seems to be the answer to my prayers, but the problem is, 
   it doesn’t work with posts generated by FeedWordPress. After some peeking into
   the database the most I could figure out is the fact that FeedWordPress generates
   extra values in the postmeta table in addition to a post & deleting these values
   for a given post (ID) allows aLinks to do it’s job of automatically links any
   matching keywords within that given post.
 * Unfortunately with (a) me having thousands of posts generated by FeedWordPress
   in my aggregator and most importantly (b) me needing that information for each
   given post (or else, missing information like the original link back to source
   site would send me to splog status) that is not an option. The aLinks authors
   isn’t addressing this anytime soon it seems and I can’t figure anything out reading
   the code of their plugin (or FeedWordPress).
 * So now I’m stuck and needing both of these plugins to play well together. If 
   anyone have any answers or ideas please posts them up. Thanks 🙁

 * This conflict happens because FeedWordPress is currently set up to bypass formatting
   plugins, such as Markdown or WordPress’s built in formatter, since the stuff 
   coming in over a feed is presumably already HTML in its final form, and shouldn’t
   be run back through preprocessors.
 * Unfortunately, there’s not yet any way to turn this behavior off without directly
   hacking feedwordpress.php. I do intend to include an option in the interface 
   for the next public release of FeedWordPress (0.993, currently under development)
   which will turn it off. In the meantime, though, you can effect the same result
   by opening up feedwordpress.php in your favorite text editor, and finding the
   following two lines of code (they are near the top of the file, immediately under
   a large comment block):
 *  add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘feedwordpress_preserve_syndicated_content’, -10000);
   
   add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘feedwordpress_restore_syndicated_content’, 10000);
 * Delete these two lines, save feedwordpress.php, and (if necessary) re-upload 
   your edited copy to your WordPress plugins directory. Once you have made the 
   edit, aLinks and FeedWordPress should co-operate just fine.
 * Let me know whether this works for what you need.

 * Heh,
 * Asked this again in your forum before checking back on this… commented out those
   two lines of code and seems like it did the trick!! 😀
 * Thanks a million, and once again your plugin is greatness!! 😀
