Ok, so feedWordPress is running into some strange issues that may be related to Donncha's sitewide tags page plugin, but I think there is a work around. As for the single WP, what is the error? Post it here or send it to my gmail and we'll take a look. We can;t have CUNY's finest, and the fine purveyor of a new NEH grant on Whitman (you are sick and rule) going without some badass aggregation and syndication. Hey Matt,

Love your post, Jim, but I'm having problems with FeedWP myself. Unfortunately, after the install (and after doing the Magpie file upgrades), I'm getting errors every time I add a feed (it keeps telling me that there is "no feed found," even though I know that these feeds are verifiable feeds). I'm not working in WPMU, but rather in plain WP. have you run into this issue at all? Argh! Love your post, Jim, but I’m having problems with FeedWP myself.

I’m not working in WPMU, but rather in plain WP. have you run into this issue at all?

Moreover are you using the sitewide tags 3-in-1 panel widget? I tested it on my space apart from UMW Blogs, and it worked fine until I installed Donncha's sitewide tags. Hmmm, I think the error I outlined in point number 2 is the issues, and it seems related to this plugin. Must dig deeper. An idea of what you are using would be awesome. @Bill: Drupal, is that a Content Mangement System or something like that? Sounds neat, I'll have to take a look :) @Andy: Rapid is awesome, a tough film to watch and a wild ending. It is one of Bava's best in my opinion, and Straw Dogs as either a pre-game show or post-game show would make for an ideal movie evening. Let me know what you think. @Andre:

Tags are imported and mapped to the right place, and everybody is happy. More importantly, this is code that has been rock solid for about a year. Greetings, Reverend,

Our latest FeedWordPress blog is http://blogs.ubc.ca/blogsquad . As you can see, all the links are directing back to the original blog. Does it do it on both the UMW blogs and your personal WPMU installation? We haven’t had that problem at all. Our latest FeedWordPress blog is http://blogs.ubc.ca/blogsquad .

Now, if you beautiful, wonderful folk at WordPress could build this plugin into 2.7 without the bugs I would buy you a copy of the DVD <em>[[When We Were Kings]]</em>. :) @Lloyd,

Making a good out of a perceived bug, now that's ingenuity at work. Looking forward to the plugin, as with everything you guys do. Let me ask you, have you had the FeedWordPress error with the permalink not redirecting to the original blog at UBC? I find this one bizarre and would love to know if others using WPMu 2.6 are having similar issues or its just me. Andre,

Your and D’Arcy's articles build nicely on each other. I've also learned that tale of the tape is one of your favorite expressions ;-) Thanks for opening my eyes to this plugin.

As you know, I struggled to find a way to add feeds from the front end to FeedWordPress (prompting the BDPRSS workaround). However, Vince noticed that adding links adds feeds to FeedWordPress. From there he had the idea to make a "add link" widget, which in turn adds a feed to FeedWordPress. Although it might look "malformed" there is in fact a syndicate this button that is added in FeedWordPress that allows you to quickly verify the feeds. This is how the process would work: Student adds link in widget ->link goes through to FeedWordPress ->Professor or administrator approves link. That's all you need for class syndication. Because it goes through the links it also makes a nice automagic class list. The code isn't in a public place yet, but I will work hard to make sure that it happens withing the next week.
