RSS Feed Won't Post
 

I've set up my vBulletin installation (3.8.1) to automatically post threads from my Wordpress (2.7.1) RSS 2.0 feed. When I preview the feed in the AdminCP, it sees it and, apart from some weird HTML tags that don't convert well to BB code that I'm trying to figure out how to get it to ignore before it posts, everything seems fine. The problem is, I've activated the feed in vBulletin and set up a dedicated forum for the threads to post to, but nothing is posting. Is there something I am overlooking? Should I not use the RSS 2.0 feed? Should I use Atom 0.3 or RSS.93 instead?

Thanks for any help.

Try resetting the RSS feed.

I've come across the same issue; except I can generate manually right after I have created the feed; but after that it never posts again until I reset it and manually run it again.

Same problem here, it only posts when I run it manually, and I've set up everything(scheduled task and all).

Does the user you assign to post the items have permission to post in the forum you select? Are you sure the Scheduled Task is running (when is the next time to run)? Is the time changing for when it was last checked (what is the last checked time?)?

Thanks for the reply Lynne,

I created a new user with admin privileges for posting of the RSS feeds. In answer to your second question, yes, the scheduled task does seem to be running. When I last checked it just before posting this, it shows it was last checked 9-minutes ago. I'm stumped. :confused:

I've done a reset, and it's still a no go, I'm afraid. I've even tried posting some dummy posts to check if maybe it just wasn't seeing old posts and would only sense new ones, but that didn't help either.

Try deleting the feed and then adding it back again.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't work either; I actually tried that a few times. This is absolutely nuts. :(

Why don't you post the feed link and one of us can test it on our test forums. Have you looked in your error_logs to see if there is anything there?

Where would I locate the error_logs? At the moment, my entire forum is going crazy, and I can't figure out what exactly the problem may be, but it may have something to do with my forum. subdomain URL not redirecting correctly. I'm having my web hosts take a look at that issue.
