Incorrect pubdate format

    Hi. I was wondering why one of my imported feeds does not get date value, and that of course causes problems in sorting the posts.

    W3C feed validator says for that RSS:

    pubDate must be an RFC-822 date-time: Tue, 25 Feb 2014 10:42:59 EET

    Could that be the problem? Is there any hack for making that kind of pubdate to work?

    I’m not sure…what is the RSS feed where this is happening?

    I’ve got nothing to do with feed itself

    the problem with that feed is that the items do not have a pubdate tag, so that is why the date isn’t being handled (there is no date to handle)

    Oh yes, true. <pubDate> seems to be only before first item. Maybe it could be possible to fetch the date from the title tag of the item

    <title><![CDATA[26.02.2014...

    But then all other feeds won’t work.

    Or..does anybody know how to edit external rss feeds? In this case adding pubDate value to every item from the title.

    that is not possible…yo need to ask the feed source to make the feed items correct by putting in a pubdate….the pubdate at the top cannot be used in my plugin as the pubdate for each item.
