In reply to: [FeedWordPress] Yes I am Sure I want to Swtich FeedsIt’s betwen a few sites that I see this and I don’t- If you have related FWP plugins (I use the Ada Keywords one and the Add attribution) try disabling them, there might be a conflict.
I had a site where feed items would not by syndicated n, they were processed when I ran FWP debugger, but the site acted like they were always syndicated- I reactivated the plugin that supposed to prevent duplicate posts, and the problem was fixed.
Once again, it would be nice if Radgeek was listening here- the plugin is wonderful but a complete black box to me, and I don’t really grok how it works under the hood.

In reply to: [FeedWordPress] Image sindicationWhat do you mean “image syndication?” it helps to provide an example what you are trying to syndicate– Plus saying “it doesn’t work” does not provide anything that ehlps to answer. What is it you are trying to do? What do you expect to happen? What is happening? What are error messages if any?
Cheap advice- you get better answers with better questions.
I have sites syndicating in content from flickr and instagram
Under the general settings for “Post and Links” under the “Links” heading, change the option Permalinks point to: from
The copy on the original websiteto
The local copy on this websiteThe link pointing to the RSS feed might be an issue with the particular feed, and what it is reporting to as the source.

My friends and I run a hosting co-op, and we have our wp install script put this on every new site.

In reply to: [FeedWordPress] [Plugin: FeedWordPress] XML Errors ReportedYeah, I try the exact feed URL, sometimes the raw fwordpress URl form. Not much of a pattern.

In reply to: [Modularity Lite] Big Mistake? No Child theme.Always possible, likely tedious. I’ve done child themes for modularity (or similar GP theme) http://midea.nmc.org/
What I would do is
- Rename your modified theme so you do not lose any thing
- download / install fresh copy of modularity lite
- Create tour new child them, meaning a new theme folder, a style.css that includes the parent one- if you need help here, the WP codex docs explain it well).
- I would work through the directories of your modified one, and change the file listing to show which files have been modified since the core ones (it may take some comparison), these are ones that you would copy to the new child theme folder).
- The trickiest one is going to be finding your modifications to style.css – you might need a tool that can do a diff operation to identify changes. For most template files, the stuff in the child theme folder *replaces* the core file, but style.css is additive, so you only need to include bits you added to the core file
- I recall (the site I listed above was done more than 2 years ago) that because of the way the themes were set up that I had trouble referencing the includes the way the theme was written, it kept wanting to look in the parent theme folder.
It certainly can be done; I’ve really had little problem with running themes that have not been updated, my main blog theme must be 4 or 5 years old, they usually hold up well.
Good luck. Always keep local backups!

In reply to: [FeedWordPress] [Plugin: FeedWordPress] XML Errors ReportedFor what its worth, I have been able to clear a large number of these (esp from wordpress.com blogs or self hosted) by simply using the “switch feed” option, and asking FWP to rediscover the feeds.
Where the bleep is the developer here? Pretty poor showing.
I just want mine to backup the database, so I have all content excluded (I back that up separately). It reports the backup being successful. but I see now .sql file saved in my dropbox

In reply to: [WPaudio MP3 Player] No MP3 Play Button, Just a Link!Thanks, this saved my blog! Not only were the audio links not generating the player, the error prevented the jQuery widget in my blog header from loading.

I may have never found the reason w/o checking here.
Now how can the plugin be updated if the developer is AWOL.

In reply to: [Plugin: WPaudio MP3 Player] Browser problemThis is of zero help (and I hate it when people say it to me)… but I just installed it on my blog, and it is working fine in Chrome (Mac OS).
That would be adding meta boxes (I think, just doing my research here for new project)
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_meta_boxI’m seeing the same; most of these are legit WP code, so you have to know what is potentially malicious, like an eval() statement on a string full of hexcode, PHP statements inserted before the opening <?php on line 1, or a faux file like xxx.pngg or xxxx.jpgg
When in doubt, compare the file that is on your server to the one in the downloaded distribution.
But yes, it would be helpful to have an updated checksum file for 2.9.1
