In reply to: [RSS Retriever Lite] Atom feed has empty contentThank you for raising this issue and sharing your findings. Your feedback is invaluable. This report exposed a case that would have remained hidden without it.
Your feed is valid; it meets the Atom specification. Atom feeds are rarely formatted with “raw” HTML content; they’re usually wrapped in <![CDATA]. Most older XML parsers (including many WordPress plugins) have relied on the CDATA convention for two decades, so it’s no surprise that many tools struggle to process this format correctly.
We are pleased to announce the release of RSS Retriever Lite version 1.2.1, which includes a fix for this issue. It now handles these “raw” HTML Atom feeds natively, so they will import perfectly without any manual adjustments.
Thanks again for the heads-up! User reports like yours help us make the plugin better for everyone.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [RSS Retriever Lite] Tumblr RSS stopped workingThank you for your kind words about our plugin. Thank you also for your rating.
If Tumblr has blocked your server’s IP address, you can either wait for the block to be lifted or use a proxy server to hide it. As mentioned above, unfortunately, proxy support is only available in the commercial version of the plugin.

In reply to: [RSS Retriever Lite] Tumblr RSS stopped workingAccording to the log you sent us via email, this is not a plugin error, but rather an issue with your cURL. Therefore, you need to test your cURL, especially when accessing tumblr.com. The issue may be local to your server, or Tumblr may have blocked your IP address on their side due to too many requests. If so, the only solution would be to use a proxy, which is only supported in the commercial version of the RSS Retriever plugin. Proxies are not supported in the free version of the plugin due to restrictions imposed by WordPress.org guidelines.

In reply to: [RSS Retriever Lite] Minimum media size for “Add to Media Library”The premium version of RSS Retriever has a feature called “Remove Outer HTML Elements”. This feature allows you to strip out specific HTML blocks based on their classes, IDs, or other attributes before importing.
If those tracking pixels have a consistent class or are wrapped in a specific container, you can tell the plugin to delete the entire HTML block. Then, the image will never hit your Media Library, and your post content will stay clean of tracking garbage.
Unfortunately, this complex filtering feature is only available in the premium version. However, it solves the “cluttered library” issue you described. You can find its description here: https://www.rssretriever.com/documentation/#remove-outer-html-elements

In reply to: [RSS Retriever Lite] Minimum media size for “Add to Media Library”The plugin does not check the size of images added to the Media Library. Depending on your “Add to Media Library” setting, it will either add all images found in the post or none at all.

In reply to: [RSS Retriever Lite] How to display feeds on a PageThe plugin doesn’t display feeds. Instead, it generates posts that are displayed on the site by your WordPress theme. Each imported article from the feed results in one new WordPress post.
