the feedWordpress plugin has been running smoothly on the site I’m using it for.
A few things I’ve noticed.
- feeds with ads in them tend to cause hangs when processing.
- I kept having issues with some post having permalinks to the main site, instead of the site the post was originally from. removing popularity contest corrected this.
- if a site has a post with alot of images, the script will crash. it’s understandable, but still worth mentioning. I had to disable a good site because they had a new post that was huge and image heavy
- use as few feeds as possible
- you should have a decent amount of traffic if you use automatic feed update.
there you have it, my non-review review of the feedwordpress plugin.

Hi,
Thanks for the review of FeedWordPress! I’m the dude who wrote it.
Would you be willing to pass along the URIs of a couple of feeds that gave you trouble (e.g. the one with the image-heavy post; one or more of the feeds with ads that seem to be causing hangs)? It’d be useful to have these URIs to test against as I work on new releases.
