Wow. Great Plugin! I like the trick to rotate stories, by keeping the name and title for the feeds the same. It would be great if 2 feeds could be combined, or better yet, interwoven (but would that be a function of the RSS feeder?).

Hi, I feel kind of silly asking this but is it possible to make the feed appear on a static page and not on the sidebar? I would really like to use it as content, not just a sidebar feed. I tried copying the code into the html on a page, after installing the widget into the sidebar. Am I doing something wrong? Is this an option-to have the feeds on a page as opposed to just the sidebar?

Hi Paul!
Tricky to say with so little information. Can you email olav at the obvious domain name with a link to the page you’re trying to add the plugins on? And some information about what kind of error messages you get. Have you tried the widget form as well, not just adding the short codes to a page/post? Same problem there? The two most common problems are too restrictive php-configurations and your hosting provider not allowing outbound connections. The plugins obviously need to fetch information remotely, so they need to be allowed that.

I am trying to implement this on a content page. I tried both plugins and neither seem to work. I am using WP 2.8.1 version. What could be the problem?

Hi Rolando
Naa, that’s just me being slow. There is very little difference between 2.2 and 2.4, mainly the 2.7 series compat fixes. And I’ve implemented those by hand. So what looks like the 2.2 on the outside is really a 2.2 modified with the 2.4 changes. Could you describe in more detail how you’re using the plugin and what it is that doesn’t work? Email to olav at the obvious domain will also work if you want to write long.
OK

Hello,

I just checked my version of CNN plugin and I’m using version 2.4 which is the latest. Latest on your site is version 2.2. Should I try your version?

Thanks!

Hi Rolando!
Can you try the latest version of the plugin, it should be compatible with the new WP file layout without you having to edit anything. Running it here under 2.7.1 and that seems to work fine.
OK

I tried replacing edit.php with tools.php and it didn’t work. I am running WP 2.7.1

Hi crandall!
Hm, not quite sure what that could be. Note that Google does not have a full list of feeds, so business may or may not be available as a sub-choice in your language. However, if you use english on your site it certainly should be. Can you try some of the others to see if it’s a general problem or not?
OK
