Title: Source Feed updated Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Source Feed updated * Resolved [bvvdileep](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bvvdileep/) * (@bvvdileep) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/source-feed-updated/) * I am using WP RSS Multi-Importer and it’s great at pulling posts from RSS into wordpress posts. What if the source RSS item is updated? Does WP RSS Multi-Importer update it on my website? * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-rss-multi-importer/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-rss-multi-importer/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 21 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/source-feed-updated/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/source-feed-updated/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/source-feed-updated/#post-3647606) * Yes. That’s how the plugin works. * Thread Starter [bvvdileep](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bvvdileep/) * (@bvvdileep) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/source-feed-updated/#post-3647609) * But when the RSS source feed item is updated, the plugin is not updating the corresponding post on my website. * Thread Starter [bvvdileep](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bvvdileep/) * (@bvvdileep) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/source-feed-updated/#post-3647610) * The shortcode is pulling the updated RSS Feed, but the post created by the plugin is not getting updated when the RSS Feed source is updated. * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/source-feed-updated/#post-3647632) * Are you using the shortcode or feed to post? What is the RSS feed that snt updating? * Thread Starter [bvvdileep](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bvvdileep/) * (@bvvdileep) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/source-feed-updated/#post-3647634) * I was using Feed to Post. All is working well, but when the source (from RSS) is updated, the post on my website is not getting updated. RSS: [http://tscra.org/news_blog/events/feed/](http://tscra.org/news_blog/events/feed/) * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/source-feed-updated/#post-3647651) * Ok. Then that is controlled by the schedule that you set on the feed to post setting page. What is the time of the schedule? * Thread Starter [bvvdileep](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bvvdileep/) * (@bvvdileep) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/source-feed-updated/#post-3647654) * I kept the update frequency to 10 minutes and the cron job is working as well( checked using Cron GUI). The posts on my website (already imported by WP RSS Importer) are not getting updated when the source RSS feed post is updated. * Thread Starter [bvvdileep](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bvvdileep/) * (@bvvdileep) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/source-feed-updated/#post-3647660) * I undestand that the plugin stores source RSS feed link in rssmi_source_link but. When the post on source (the feed from which the plugin pulls) is updated, I can’t get the updated post to the server. Does the plugin pulls updated posts( not new but existing posts which are updated) as well? * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/source-feed-updated/#post-3647742) * this is how the plugin works and can explain what is going on. * [http://www.allenweiss.com/faqs/im-getting-double-posts-with-the-feed-to-post/](http://www.allenweiss.com/faqs/im-getting-double-posts-with-the-feed-to-post/) * Thread Starter [bvvdileep](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bvvdileep/) * (@bvvdileep) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/source-feed-updated/#post-3647747) * Let me explain much clearly: * Here’s the process: * 1. Plugin pulls RSS feed items to wordpress posts from source RSS feed * 2. If a RSS post on source website is updated (not a new article, but an existing individual item), the update is not reflected on my website. i.e, the plugin doesn’t update article on my website whenever a syndicated article is updated on its source. * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/source-feed-updated/#post-3647748) * right..that is the way the plugin works…..if the source content is updated, but the permalink is the same, then the plugin does not update the content. This, of course, is only the way it works on the Feed to Post…the shortcode works differently and would update as you are wanting. * Thread Starter [bvvdileep](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bvvdileep/) * (@bvvdileep) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/source-feed-updated/#post-3647749) * Lastly, what if the source URL changes? Do the plugin considers pub date of the RSS item? * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/source-feed-updated/#post-3647751) * if the source URL changes the a new post is brought in…no, presently the plugin doesn’t change the pub date, just the url * Thread Starter [bvvdileep](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bvvdileep/) * (@bvvdileep) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/source-feed-updated/#post-3647752) * Thanks Allen * [oculos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oculos/) * (@oculos) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/source-feed-updated/#post-3647929) * So let me see if I got it right: if I want the post to reflect an updated feed, I need to use the shortcode instead of the feed to post feature?
