    Hi developer of this amazing plugin,

    First of all my compliments for this plugin. It works great!

    I just have a little problem. Some of the new items in the RSS feed has the same permalink. So if the permalink already exists in the database, the plugin won’t add the new item/blogpost. Is it possible to disable checking permalink? So the plugin will only check the date and title?

    I can program a little bit, can you explain where I can change this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards,

    Randy

    Hi,
    Yes, you’re right…currently it checks the permalink…it used to also check the title, but when php 5 was launched, this got messed up. You can add code to check for the date in the import_posts.php file around line 820…fyi, by adding another check it tends to slow down the fetching process, but it’s worth adding…let me know if you get it working.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your fast reply. I checked the code and line 820 in import_posts.php but don’t get it working. Is it possible the plugin checks on <Pubdate> or <guid>? These are 2 elements in the feed.

    I made some adjustments, but they feed adds all the items again…

    Can you help me?

    Thanks in advance
