  I'm having the exact same problem. For some reason my RSS-feeds from Yahoo Pipes won't be imported.

  Would really appreciate if you could look into this Guillermo!

  Hi Guys

  I have latest version of simplepie and WP-Omatic.

  I have not trouble getting feeds from direct sources, but cant get them from Yahoo Pipes.

  I have tested the Yahoo pipes feeds with a validator http://validator.w3.org/check?ur...

  and it seems ok, small informational error.

  I have tested this in Google reader and its ok (shows Images in the post as well)

  I have run this feed using feedwordpress and it works but I like your features better (in particular to be able to point back to the original site and to format the template)

  I can only assume that the Pipe is sending something in the feed that either simplepie or wp-o-matic doesnt like or could they be blocking it somehow?

  Thanks for your help

  Mike

  Make sure the url field of the feed table is set to MEDIUMTEXT or something longer than varchar(255), I think that may be the issue. Urls longer than 255 characters are not encouraged by the spec, though.

  Hi Guillermo

  Thanks for your suggestion, I did this and entered a completely new campaign but it didnt make any difference. When I went back and did a count of the URL it is only 145

  Interestingly when browsing the table, the previous URLs were inserted and fully complete which means that it is at least getting through the add campaign process and when logging is turned on, the log messages show it is trying to get the campaign, it just doesnt actually find or post any items.

  Checking the logs, it is processing, just not finding any new posts.

  Could it be that it doesnt recognize them as new items? or that they have additional data in them that is not being dealt with properly or that their format?

  Thanks for your help

  Mike

  Hi I successfully got the feed today. What I do is just change the string "&" back to "&" in database. Hope its helpful to you.

  I'm having the same issue. I had worked around it by pushing my pipes feed through feedburner, but that's not working either now (nor is it ideal)

  @zhuce: could you explain your post? "What I do is just change the string "&" back to "&" in database."

  It sounds like you're saying that the & gets changed to something else somewhere?

  Thanks!

  Sorry for my bad english.

  The "&" in feed url be encoded to "& amp;"(without space) in campaign_feed table for some reason,corrcet it manual then everything is ok.I think its a bug but don't know how to correct the script.
