      Hello,

      Using both Newsomatic and the Echo RSS Feed Post Plugins I see the same posts repeatedly every time the plugin calls the feeds.  I send them to the trash and next time I check, the same posts appear again.

      Also, old posts from days and sometimes weeks are showing up.

      Now, I am probably blind but looking at both main settings and feed settings for both plugins, I cannot find any option to disable old posts.

      Help please.

      Thank you.

      After checking plugin settings, here are my suggestions:

      1. For Newsomatic: I recommend you move your rules from the ‘Top News to Posts’ plugin menu to the ‘Custom News to Posts’ plugin menu, as the later one will have also restrictions on importing content over a period of time. You will find there the ‘Get Articles From This Date’ settings field in rule settings, which will return only articles after this specific date. You can insert specific dates here, like 30-01-2022 or last Sunday, last week, -7 days

      2. For Echo RSS: I recommend you use the ‘Skip Posts Older Than This Date’ settings field from importing rule settings. This will filter the posts found in RSS feeds and import only those which match the date you set there. You can use similar date formats as in Newsomatic, from above.

      Let me know if these tips helped.

      Hello,

       

      Took on board your tips, saw some difference for a while but still getting the same posts from the feeds on both sites, I wonder if I just leave them either in drafts or bin to see if they repeat, as I usually just delete them as soon as I check them.

      Hello,

      Yes, leaving posts in the bin is also a solution, as the plugin will check for duplicates there also and not post content which is already in the bin.
