Title: beta – posts Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # beta – posts * [peteduignan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peteduignan/) * (@peteduignan) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beta-posts/) * Hi Allen, * 1. Still have more posts than expected. Many are older than the 3 day period I have set for expiration. * 2. If I change the time to expire, does that reset all expire times or only new posts? (I think only new posts). This may be part of the solution for 1 but not complete solution. * 3. During upgrade from previous version to beta, what happens to existing posts? Are they converted to a new database format and then deleted from old format? * 4. Can I use shortcode field names – or real plugin field names – to populate info into a theme post page? e.g. the theme displays the top level category but that is not the actual category I want to display in each post – I want to display the plugin category. (I guess I want everything my way!!!). Same for author. I am not the author so I want to display the plugin author. * 5. Nice to have.. – a menu option to delete all plugin posts older than x date.– a prev and next option in the feed list edit. * Pete * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rss-multi-importer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rss-multi-importer/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 20 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beta-posts/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beta-posts/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beta-posts/#post-5110925) * regarding #1, is this for the autopost or shortcode. tried to look at your site this morning, but it’s incredibly slow..that could have an effect on what you’re seeing. * Thread Starter [peteduignan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peteduignan/) * (@peteduignan) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beta-posts/#post-5110926) * Site very slow last night. Unusable. Had support work on it. Was very fast. * Site very slow this morning. Unusable. * Am tired of the inconsistency and having to contact support to look at it numerous times. Already in the process of moving to a different host. Expecting it to be lightening fast then – not!!! * I don’t think that is the problem but could be adding to it. * Will request you to look again when I have a usable admin. * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beta-posts/#post-5110927) * that could be the problem…it turns out if the site if very slow, then when the feed comes in the date might not be entered correctly – thus resulting in a null date (which you see as 1970)…this results in the plugin not being able to delete old posts because it looks for valid dates. I’m adding code to eliminate this problem. * Thread Starter [peteduignan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peteduignan/) * (@peteduignan) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beta-posts/#post-5110928) * Yup!!! Have a few of those but not many. Also some 2009 and 2011. Just thought they were a bad post now and again in various feeds. * Sounds like you are on the right track. Had a lot of scheduled building up that missed the schedule. Read about some plugin that cleans those up but am trying to use as few plugins as possible. * Still think there may be a general issue. Perhaps not. * 1970 is a good date, just a little dated! Haha… * Thanks. * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beta-posts/#post-5110929) * what is an example of a post (I need the title) from, say 2009 or 2011? * Thread Starter [peteduignan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peteduignan/) * (@peteduignan) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beta-posts/#post-5110930) * Will send you an example via email in a moment. * Thread Starter [peteduignan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peteduignan/) * (@peteduignan) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beta-posts/#post-5111003) * Hi Allen, * Getting this error… * Fatal error: Call to undefined function rssmi_check_didUpgrade() in /home/whiddyco/ public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-rss-multi-importer/inc/options.php on line 384 * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beta-posts/#post-5111005) * I’m not sure which file I sent you.

Seems to be hogging all the resources. Had to rename in file manager (when I could get in!!!). * Looked at the posts. Have bunch of duplicates in Scheduled but Published looks ok. * Maybe I am missing some other current updates in the beta. Are you pushing out a beta update anytime soon? * Have switched to a different host but I don’t think that is the issue. * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beta-posts/#post-5111016) * I’m going to make the beta the permanent version in about 2 weeks. Since I’m giving one file here and another there, that could be the problem since there has been many changes going on. * Thread Starter [peteduignan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peteduignan/) * (@peteduignan) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beta-posts/#post-5111018) * The scheduled dups were probably caused by a plugin I tried a few days ago to clean them up. Had to delete it. I may end up deleting the posts manually. * It’s possible that multi plugin is cleaning up a few thousand published posts which are expired and once that is completed the system will come back to life. Will activate it again later today and walk away for a few hours. * I will go back thru your recent support threads to read about other updates and see if there might be anything related. Thanks.
