RSS feeds not updating

[Bluemax712]

I have set up new RSS feeds but the feeds only work when run manually
and never update when using the Task Scheduler.
-the forum is being actively hit
-also tried enabling only one at a time - though they all show good in the preview
-I have tried setting the Task Scheduler to run it every 10 minutes and also every 1 minute
but it never updates unless I run it manually.

Also tried deleting all posts previously created from running script manually, truncating the rsslog table and then Resetting Last Checked Time option in the RSS Feed Manager for each feed.
Didn't work - until ran the script manually again.

Q. Is there a way to run the ./includes/cron/rssposter.php script from a cronjob outside of Vbulletin?

We are also having this issue, is it a 4.2.0 issue as we had no issues with 4.1.12 before updating.

Any help would be great,thanx

Mine is just the opposite

Test 4.20 server - Task Scheduler RSS updates work fine
Production 4.1.12 server (with a few other plugins) - RSS updates don't work unless manually run

PS: still looking for a way to run the './includes/cron/rssposter.php' from a cronjob

Good News - It works now

Bad News - To get it to work I disabled all plugins

Semi -Good News - Now just need to find out which plugin is causing the trouble :erm:

When you find out which plugin it is let me know and i'll check it also.

So in the end it came down to some conflict between these two mods which were both installed
-they both prevent users in certain groups from creating URL links in their posts:

Prevent Posting Of Links v1.0
Glowhost Spam-O-Matic v2.1.0

Disabled "Prevent Posting of Links" Mod and Feeds still work
- so good enough for me

Thanks for that, this might just have fixed a problem I have had with rss feeds for a long time.

Hope it helps you.

Now if I could find a way to pull new posts from another forum that doesn't have a formal RSS feed.
Any ideas?
