Title: Cannot import feed items Last modified: January 23, 2017 --- # Cannot import feed items * Resolved [mfisch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mfisch/) * (@mfisch) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-import-feed-items/) * I’ve made lots of recent changes to my site, and at some point WP RSS Aggregator stopped importing feed items. There were 800 items but they were dated by two weeks. * Updates stopped on 1/12/17. * I subsequently checked the WP Cron and logs (set to info level) and found nothing useful or errant (no useful error messages and no stuck wordpress cron). The machine can fetch the feed documents from the command line (with wget) but refuses to import items. * I tried erasing all items and reimporting, and just ended up with empty feed sources (now no items instead of old items). * I also tried adding new feed sources, those also refuse to import. * I think this problem possibly correlates with me changing my site url from [http://ng.domain.com/](http://ng.domain.com/) to [https://www.domain.com/](https://www.domain.com/). I don’t think there are conflicting plugins or themes but now the site is in production and I am hesitant to dump them to test. * The GUID on old feed sources is “wrong” but I was under the impression I should not edit these. Also, the new feed sources would have a new correct GUID which does not work. * Any thoughts? * I am posting relevant logs and information below: * ### Begin System Info ### * ## Please include this information when posting support requests ## * Multi-site: Yes * SITE_URL: [https://www.kplat.com](https://www.kplat.com) HOME_URL: [https://www.kplat.com](https://www.kplat.com) * Plugin Version: 4.10 WordPress Version: 4.7.1 * Platform: Apple Browser Name: Safari Browser Version: 10.0.2 User Agent String: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Ma c OS X 10_12_2) AppleWebKit/602. 3.12 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version /10.0.2 Safari/602.3.12 * PHP Version: 7.0.13-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 MySQL Version: 5.7.16-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 ( mysqli) Web Server Info: Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) * PHP Safe Mode: No PHP Memory Limit: 256M PHP Post Max Size: 8M PHP Time Limit: 30 * WP_DEBUG: Disabled * WP Table Prefix: Length: 5 Status: Acceptable * Show On Front: page Page On Front: Professional Services #5 Page For Posts: Professional Services #5 * Session: Disabled Session Name: PHPSESSID Cookie Path: / Save Path: /var/lib/ php/sessions Use Cookies: On Use Only Cookies: On * UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE: 2MB POST_MAX_SIZE: 8MB WordPress Memory Limit: 64MB DISPLAY ERRORS: N/A FSOCKOPEN: Your server supports fsockopen. * ACTIVE PLUGINS: * 404page – your smart custom 404 error page: 2.3 Contact Form 7: 4.6 Head & Footer Code: 1.0.7 jQuery UI Widgets: 0.38 Max Mega Menu: 2.3.4 Page Builder by SiteOrigin: 2.4.21 SiteOrigin CSS: 1.1.2 SiteOrigin Premium: 1.0.3 SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle: 1.7.2 WP RSS Aggregator: 4.10 WP SES: 0.4.9 * NETWORK ACTIVE PLUGINS: * WordPress MU Domain Mapping: 0.5.5.1 WP Crontrol: 1.4 * CURRENT THEME: * SiteOrigin North: 1.2.9 * ### End System Info ### * [23-01-2017 17:43:30] [Info] WPRSS > wprss_fetch_insert_single_feed_items: Starting import of feed: 1600 * [23-01-2017 17:43:30] [System] WPRSS > wprss_fetch_insert_single_feed_items: Force feed flag removed * [23-01-2017 17:43:30] [System] WPRSS > wprss_fetch_insert_single_feed_items: Start of import time updated: 2017-01-23 17:43:30 * [23-01-2017 17:43:30] [System] WPRSS > wprss_fetch_insert_single_feed_items: Original feed source URL: [https://www.theregister.co.uk/headlines.atom](https://www.theregister.co.uk/headlines.atom) * [23-01-2017 17:43:30] [Info] WPRSS > wprss_fetch_insert_single_feed_items: Actual feed source URL: [https://www.theregister.co.uk/headlines.atom](https://www.theregister.co.uk/headlines.atom) * [23-01-2017 17:43:30] [System] WPRSS > wprss_fetch_insert_single_feed_items: Feed limit value is: * [23-01-2017 17:43:30] [Info] WPRSS > wprss_fetch_insert_single_feed_items: Feed import limit: 20 * [23-01-2017 17:43:30] [Info] WPRSS > wprss_fetch_insert_single_feed_items: Feed URL is valid: [https://www.theregister.co.uk/headlines.atom](https://www.theregister.co.uk/headlines.atom) * [23-01-2017 17:43:30] [System] WPRSS > wprss_fetch_insert_single_feed_items: Sliced a segment of items: 0 * [23-01-2017 17:43:30] [System] WPRSS > wprss_fetch_insert_single_feed_items: Retrieved existing permalinks: 0 * [23-01-2017 17:43:30] [System] WPRSS > wprss_fetch_insert_single_feed_items: Items to import remained untouched.

I had to find the SimplePie dependency check in a Git repo which quickly pointed me in the correct direction. * This is resolved. * [Eric Gunawan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erricgunawan/) * (@erricgunawan) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-import-feed-items/#post-8689994) * Hi [@mfisch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mfisch/) * Glad to hear your issue is resolved. * Thanks for sharing your resolution and thanks also for the feedback. We’ll take it into consideration and will be discussing it with our developers to see if and how the dependency checker can be implemented. * That said, can you please share what SimplePie dependency check you found in the Git repo which can point you in the correct direction? We’d like to know it and it could also be helpful for others with similar issue.
