BUG: Changes to ‘Limit feed items stored by age’ Not Working

Hi Miguel @mekku

In step 4, I went to;

Feed Sources page > Hovered over a feed source > clicked on ‘edit’ link displayed below the feed source name > clicked ‘Update’ button

Additional Information:

After changing the global setting ‘Limit feed items stored by age’ from 3 days to 20 days, the ‘Feed Preview’ on individual feed source does show older items as specified in global setting.

However, the shortcode with ‘Feed ID” placed on page doesn’t render the older items.

But when you delete the feed source and add the same feed source again (it generates a new feed id), the shortcode with new ‘Feed ID’ renders items as specified in global setting.

Thanks Miguel @mekku. That solution is not working.

I somehow missed something so obvious. Here is what seems to be happening…

In global settings, when you set ‘Limit feed items stored by age’ = 3 days, this setting automatically propagates to the individual feed source pages, which can be seen under ‘Feed Processing’ settings.

Here you can see ‘Delete feed items older than: 3 days

Now when you change the global setting ‘Limit feed items stored by age’ = 20 days, this new setting / data is not propagating to the individual feed source pages.

Individual feed source pages still show ‘Delete feed items older than: 3 days

When you manually change this to 20 days (on feed source page) and update the feed source, the shortcode successfully renders older items as specified in settings.

‘Delete feed items older than’ field is not fetching the updated data from ‘Limit feed items stored by age’ global settings as default value.

On semantics, to avoid possible confusion, since ‘Delete feed items older than’ field is exactly same as ‘Limit feed items stored by age’, both these fields should have same name IMHO.
