Processors not working

Hi there,

I just installed WP-Pipes to aggregate some blogs. Pipe source is e.g. http://www.guigarage.com/category/dolphin-platform/feed/ and the output should be a post.

After defining the source, the source output of the latest post in the rss is displayed correctly and I can also successfully test the pipe. As a next step, I wanted to use some processors to get the full text and the images. I did the same steps as described in https://wpbriz.com/wordpress-rss-feed-post-using-wp-pipes-minibizweb/ but the processors do not work as I supposed…

When defining “pi[1] url” as the [so] link, the processor output tells me “stop undefined”. The same for the images. What did i do wrong?

Hi dkress,

Please check the CHANGELOG at https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-pipes/changelog/ you will see that we moved Parser Code from Get Fulltext processor to HTML Parser processor. With the newest version of WPPipes, if you do not have HTML Parser processor, you can only use Get Fulltext processor for automatic detecting the content from source page.

Maybe you are trying to get the content from the source which does not have common HTML structure, so Get Fulltext processor can not automatically detecting the content. That could be why undefined appears.

Best Regards!

Hi Tung Pham,

well, the source is a WordPress installation, too. So, we shouldn’t have a problem with the HTML structure as I’m trying to duplicate content from one WordPress to another…

Any other ideas? I mean, the easiest way would be to download the images from the source and upload them in the target installation. Getting the text is not the problem but I would really like to automate this…

Thx,
Dirk

Hi dkress,

Please check if the <description> element of each item on your feed has images or not. If Yes, you could use [so] description as the input of Get Image processor. If Not, I suggest you using HTML Parser processor for grabbing exact the HTML paragraph which contains images from page sources, then use po[x] fulltext with Get Images processor.

Best Regards!
