20263 releases

  1. FeedWordPress 2026.1030Latest

    • BUG FIX FOR FEED UPDATES HANGING ON SOME FEEDS WITH LONG AUTHOR URLS: You may have encountered a bug preventing some feeds from completing a full update when the author URL for a post is too long — most often, this appears when syndicating comment feeds, which may include long full post URLs when l…

  2. FeedWordPress 2026.1016

    • SECURITY HARDENING: SYNDICATED CONTENT NOW TREATED AS UNTRUSTED HTML, FILTERED THROUGH WORDPRESS KSES: Syndicated post content and excerpts now always go through WordPress’s KSES sanitizer before content is stored, to filter out potentially malicious content. Previous versions made a policy decisio…
    • WORDPRESS VERSION SUPPORT: NOW REQUIRES WORDPRESS 6.2 OR LATER: I’m dropping testing and version support for versions of WordPress prior to version 6.2; some of the new filtering code depends on WordPress 6.2 or later.

  3. FeedWordPress 2026.0517

    • BUG FIX FOR Custom Post Settings AFTER WordPress/FeedWordPress UPGRADE: If you used “Custom Post Settings” fields in Syndication > Posts to set custom post fields on syndicated articles (either static text or dynamic values using the XPath-like syntax), these may have stopped creating custom settin…

20243 releases

  1. FeedWordPress 2024.1119

    • COMPATIBILITY FIX FOR WORDPRESS 6.7 (Fixes “Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to SimplePie\Cache\BaseDataCache::__construct() must implement interface SimplePie\Cache\Base” error after WordPress 6.7 upgrade): This version includes a fix to a critical compatibility issue with SimplePie 1.8.0+’s…

  2. FeedWordPress 2024.0511

    • COMPATIBILITY FIX FOR “Uncaught TypeError: in_array()” ERROR: This version includes a fix to a fatal error that some users encountered with some versions of PHP 8. If after upgrading to a recent version of FeedWordPress, you encountered a message about a “critical error” or error messages indicatin…

  3. FeedWordPress 2024.0428

    • IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX: This version includes an important fix for a security vulnerability reported to me through Wordfence and WordPress support channels. Vulnerability CVE-2024-0839 allowed for an insecure Direct Object Reference which could allow contents of Private, Pending, or otherwise non-P…
    • ADDITIONAL COMPATIBILITY FIXES AND CODE CLEANUP: This version includes numerous fixes to improve compatibility fixes for ongoing new releases of PHP, and does some additional code clean-up to remove some obsolete methods of generating output, and to do a better job of sanitizing input and escaping…

20225 releases

  1. FeedWordPress 2022.0222

    • ADDITIONAL CODE CLEANUP: This version does some additional code clean-up to remove some obsolete methods of generating output, and to do a better job of sanitizing input and escaping output in the FeedWordPress administrative dashboard.

  2. FeedWordPress 2022.0208

  3. FeedWordPress 2022.0204

    • ADDITIONAL CODE CLEANUP: This version does some additional code clean-up to remove some obsolete methods of generating output, and to do a better job of sanitizing input and escaping output in the FeedWordPress administrative dashboard.

  4. FeedWordPress 2022.0203

  5. FeedWordPress 2022.0123

    • IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX: This version includes an important fix for a security vulnerability reported to me through WPScan and WordPress support channels. Vulnerability CVE-2021-25055 allowed for an XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attack using a specially crafted URL for a page within the FeedWordPress a…
    • BUG FIXES: Fixes a number of small possible bugs when creating new syndicated posts under unusual conditions — a sanity check is built in to avoid infinite loops in case of certain unexpected error outcomes when creating new users; some more possible sources of PHP 8 “Countable” warnings are elimin…

20211 release

  1. FeedWordPress 2021.0713

    • WORDPRESS 5.6, 5.7.x COMPATIBILITY FIXES. This release introduces fixes to annoying or worse warnings resulting from the deprecation of WordPress’s built-in WP_Feed_Cache class. This should resolve the problem if you are encountering annoying, worrying, or breaking problems related to the PHP warni…
    • Fixes PHP warning for “count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in …/wp-content/plugins/feedwordpress/feedwordpress.php on line 1566”
    • Miscellaneous fixes for other missing variable and global warnings.
    • Code cleanup and reorganization to allow better modularization of error messages, warning dialogs, and extended text.

20202 releases

  1. FeedWordPress 2020.0818

    • WORDPRESS 5.5 COMPATIBILITY FIXES, RESOLVES WARNING NOTICES OR WP-ADMIN LOCKOUT. WordPress 5.5 incorporated a newer release of SimplePie, version 1.5.5, which is pretty rad, but FeedWordPress classes that relied on SimplePie 1.3.1’s method signatures would then produce PHP warning notices. That sho…
    • PHP 7.4 COMPATIBILITY FIX: Magic quotes were deprecated and then removed back in PHP 5.x, and in PHP 7.4 the vestigial get_magic_quotes_gpc() function has been deprecated. We don’t need to worry about it anymore for versions of PHP still supported by WordPress. The reference to the function in the…
    • DIVERS BUG FIXES AND PHP WARNING NOTICES RESOLVED, thanks to @oppiansteve’s fixes and pull requests. (Thanks!)
    • JQUERY COMPATIBILITY FIXES, RESOLVES MYSTERIOUS VANISHING FEED SELECTOR IN WP-ADMIN. An upgrade to WordPress’s packaged jQuery caused the drop-down box for feed settings (in Syndication > Feeds & Updates, Syndication > Posts & Links, etc.) to vanish shortly after pageload. That was awkward, so I di…

  2. FeedWordPress 2020.0118

    • WORDPRESS COMPATIBILITY TESTING. It’s been some time since a public release of FeedWordPress; so I have tested the plugin functionality with recent versions of WordPress and incorporated a number of PHP 7-compatibility related tweaks.
    • FEED PARSING FAULT TOLERANCE. If FeedWordPress fails to parse a feed using normal XML functions, it will attempt to convert any named entities that may be causing a problem, and then try to parse again. Props to @inanimatt for utility functions that help make the code go.
    • PAUSING UPDATES. In Syndication > Feeds & Updates, you can now instruct FeedWordPress to temporarily pause or resume updating feeds — whatever update method you are using, you can put new updates on hold for a while so that you can fiddle with setings, run tests, or do whatever you need to do befor…
    • CODE MODERNIZATION, PHP 7.x COMPATIBILITY AND CLEANUP AND REORGANIZATION. I have been dusting out nooks and crannies in the code and hiving more functionality off into discrete modules. A number of FeedWordPress users have also offered pull requests to eliminate bothersome PHP notices and warnings…

20173 releases

  1. FeedWordPress 2017.1020

    • ADD BOILERPLATE / CREDITS FEATURE AVAILABLE IN POSTS & LINKS SETTINGS PANEL. I have added a new settings panel to the off-the-shelf features of FeedWordPress, under Syndication > Posts & Links (or under the Posts settings page for any individual feed), which allows you to define boilerplate text th…
    • MINOR CODE MODERNIZATION, PHP 7.1 COMPATIBILITY AND BUG FIXES. This project is now 12+ years old (good lord), and there are still some places where code was written at a time when PHP was a very different language from what it is now. Props to @david-robinson-practiceweb for pointing out and sendin…

  2. FeedWordPress 2017.1004

  3. FeedWordPress 2017.0913

    • PARTIAL FIX FOR 2X DUPLICATE POSTS APPEARING ON DUAL HTTP/HTTPS SITES: Some users reported an issue in which their FeedWordPress sites, which are over both insecure HTTP and over HTTPS, would pick up exactly 2 copies of every post or almost every post from certain feeds, and where the guids for eac…
    • PHP 7 Compatibility: eliminate remaining sources of PHP 7 compatibility-check failures — remove the use of depreciated mysql_error() function, and make sure all classes make use of __construct() convention for constructors.
    • AVOID “PHP Warning: shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in […]/feedwordpress/feeds-page.php on line 197”: FeedWordPress uses the PHP shell_exec() function in a very narrowly limited way for information gathering, trying to find the real path to curl or wget on your system, so that i…

20163 releases

  1. FeedWordPress 2016.1213

    • WORDPRESS BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY FOR VERSIONS [4.5, 4.7]: This change fixes a fatal PHP error (on some web server configurations you’d see the message “Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘[…]/wp-includes/class-wp-feed-cache.php'” on others, you might just see an HTTP 500 Internal…

  2. FeedWordPress 2016.1211

    • WORDPRESS COMPATIBILITY: Tested with new versions of WordPress up to 4.7.
    • PHP WARNINGS UNDER WP 4.7: Eliminated cause of a PHP warning under WP 4.7 “Parameter 1 to FeedWordPressHTTPAuthenticator::set_auth_options expected to be reference” Warnings were due to a change in how http_api_curl hook is sometimes called in WP 4.7; so I changed the signature of the event handlin…
    • PHP 7 and PHP Strict Standards compatibility changes: @alexiskulash @daidais and @zoul0813 all sent pull requests through Github to fix some issues from a very old code base that has made its way from PHP 3.x through 5.x to the roll-out of PHP 7. Class methods should now fare better under modern ve…
    • IMPROVEMENTS TO SCHEDULED AND AUTOMATIC UPDATES: use wp_loaded hook to check for magic URL parameters and to execute updates, to do pageload-based automatic updates, etc. Ensures that anything plugins or themes need to do in init to set up custom post types, taxonomies, etc. will be done before the…

  3. FeedWordPress 2016.0420

    • WORDPRESS COMPATIBILITY: Tested with new versions of WordPress up to 4.5.
    • FILTERS AND ADD-ONS: Allow filters and add-ons to filter terms and taxonomy (categories, tags, custom taxonomies, etc.) more thoroughly and more fine-grainedly using syndicated_post_terms_match, syndicated_post_terms_match_{taxonomy}, syndicated_post_terms_unfamiliar, syndicated_post_terms_mapping,…
    • FILTERS AND ADD-ONS: Globals $fwp_channel and $fwp_feedmeta REMOVED. These global variables, originally introduced to allow filters access to information about the source feed in syndicated_item filters were deprecated 6+ years ago. If you have any filters or add-ons which still depend on these glo…
    • BUGFIX: Syndication > Diagnostics HTTP diagnostic test widget was broken due to a dumb error on my part. Now fixed.
    • SMALL CODING CHANGES: Lots of small changes to code organization, incorporation of some PHP 5.x coding conventions, etc.

20152 releases

  1. FeedWordPress 2015.0514

    • IMPORTANT SECURITY UPDATE: This version includes two important fixes for potential security vulnerabilities reported to me through support channels. The first is a common problem across several plugins due to an ambiguity in the WordPress documentation and a change in the behavior of WordPress’s bu…
    • ADMIN UI BUGFIX: “Update Now” button in feeds setting pages should now work once again instead of causing a PHP fatal error. See https://github.com/radgeek/feedwordpress/issues/46
    • SEVERAL OTHER SMALL BUG FIXES. See https://github.com/radgeek/feedwordpress/issues/32 https://github.com/radgeek/feedwordpress/issues/30 https://github.com/radgeek/feedwordpress/issues/29 etc.

  2. FeedWordPress 2015.0426

20141 release

  1. FeedWordPress 2014.0805

    • FILTERS AND ADD-ONS: A number of new hooks for filters and add-ons to further customize the behavior of FWP have been added.
    • COMPATIBILITY/BUGFIX: Many users saw odd characters, especially “n,” appearing in posts in versions of WordPress from 3.6 on, due to a change in when the API expects HTML data for posts to be slashed and when it does not. This has been fixed, so that the junk characters should no longer appear, reg…
    • BUGFIX: A bug preventing FWP from saving categories assigned under Syndication > Categories & Tags has been fixed.
    • BUGFIX: Post-editing related metaboxes should now show up when you edit items of any post type, including custom types, not only normal WordPress posts.
    • BUGFIX: A bug in the admin UI that caused the “Alternative Feeds” / “Find Feeds” box to throw a permissions error has been fixed.
    • BUGFIX: A bug preventing proper mapping of categories and other terms in 2013.0504 has been fixed.
    • BUGFIX: A number of small fixes contributed through Github by Flynsarmy should eliminate PHP warnings for many users on several methods that are called as static methods within FeedWordPress.

20132 releases

  1. FeedWordPress 2013.0504

    • BUGFIX: PHP 5.4 compatibility — includes some more extensive fixes to compatibility issues with PHP 5.4’s handling of global variables
    • DIAGNOSTICS: New diagnostics settings added to help track behavior of terms (categories, post tags, etc.) for syndicated posts.

  2. FeedWordPress 2013.0503

20122 releases

  1. FeedWordPress 2012.1218

    • WORDPRESS VISUAL EDITOR FIXED. There was an unlisted change in the 2012.1212 release which had the effect of disabling the WordPress Visual Editor for all posts syndicated by FeedWordPress. Many users reported this as a bug. It was actually a deliberate decision — a crappy way to try to deal with a…
    • BUG FIX: PERMALINKS REWRITTEN FOR CUSTOM POST TYPES AS WELL AS NORMAL WORDPRESS POSTS. If you had WordPress set up to syndicate incoming posts to a custom post type (under Syndication > Posts & Links), and asked FeedWordPress to make “permalinks point to the original site”, then previous versions o…
    • BUG FIX: ELIMINATES “PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function setting() on a non-object….” Some changes to the in-memory caching of information about feed subscriptions could result in a fatal PHP error in cases where you have de-activated one of your subscriptions, but posts from that subscripti…
    • BUG FIX: CATEGORY BOXES IN SYNDICATION > CATEGORIES & TAGS. Some minor bugs in the appearance and animation of category checkboxes (for example, the checkbox used to select categories for syndicated posts on the Syndication > Categories & Tags settings page) have been fixed.

  2. FeedWordPress 2012.1212

    • WORDPRESS 3.5 COMPATIBILITY: This release has been tested for compatibility with new releases of WordPress, up to version 3.5, and any documented compatibility issues have been cleared — in particular, if you were seeing error pages stating that you don’t have permission to access the FeedWordPress…
    • PHP 5.4 COMPATIBILITY: This release has been audited to fix potential problems with deprecation notices or fatal errors under recent versions of PHP. In particular, all uses of run-time pass-by-reference have been eliminated from the code; if you were seeing a fatal error reading “Call-time pass-by…
    • CUSTOMIZATION FRAMEWORK: A great deal of work has been done to make the underlying framework more flexible, so that PHP add-ons can be written to adapt FeedWordPress to handle custom XML vocabularies, expiration of posts under specified conditions, and other custom behavior.
    • BUGFIX: MANUALLY EDITED POST SLUGS NOT OVERWRITTEN. Thanks to a report by Chris Fritz, I’ve identified some code that causes post slugs for the posts generated by FWP to be rewritten with every update, even if the user has manually updated the slug from within the WordPress editing interface. This…
    • USER-AGENT STRING: FeedWordPress now sends a distinctive User-Agent string identifying itself, and noting that it is a feed aggregator.
    • MISCELLANEOUS PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS: A number of changes have been made to try to reduce the intensity and expense in terms of both database performance and web server memory consumption.
    • DIAGNOSTICS IMPROVEMENTS: A number of new and improved diagnostics have been added which should aid in understanding and troubleshooting issues that may arise.

20119 releases

  1. FeedWordPress 2011.1019

    • BUGFIX: “THERE ARE NO HTTP TRANSPORTS AVAILABLE” ERROR FIXED: The initial support for HTTP Basic and Digest authentication in version 2011.1018 contained a bug that could cause HTTP requests for feeds or for other WordPress resources to break down if you do not have the PHP curl module installed. T…
    • IMPROVED HTTP AUTHENTICATION SUPPORT: In addition, the HTTP Authentication support in FeedWordPress has been extended, to ensure that Basic authentication is available in many web host configurations, and to allow you to add a username and password for a feed immediately when you subscribe to it.

  2. FeedWordPress 2011.1018

    • HTTP BASIC AND DIGEST AUTHENTICATION SUPPORT: FeedWordPress now offers improved support for syndicating feeds that make use of HTTP Basic or HTTP Digest authentication methods. In order to set up authentication on one of your feeds, just go to its Settings > Feed page, and click on the …
