For this you would need to change the file. Do you know php.? If so you could do it yourself in the widget file in the plugins inc folder. If not then I could send you a replacement file in a few days v
Hi Allen,
I can usually muddle my way through some php – if it’s just a question of commenting something out 😉
If you can tell me the path/file I can take a shot at it.
But if it’s in the “wp-rss-multi-importer.php” – I already looked and couldn’t find anything so a replacement file, in that case, would be great!
Thanks for your help.

Go into the /inc folder and you’ll find the file that has widget in its name. Try looking at that first.
Okay – I looked in that file and didn’t find any “read more” statements – I did find the line “don’t mess with this php code”…lol
So I stopped messing.
In the options.php and the import_posts.php I found several readmore statements – but they didn’t look like anything I wanted to mess with either.
I appreciate your time Allen – and it’s not a huge deal as I’m just building these sites now (I wish I had the traffic right now for it to be a deal!)…but if you could, at some point, post a solution – or another file – it would be appreciated!
Thanks again for your time!

Hi Allen,
I found the folder (rss_multi_importer_widget.php) then I scrolled down the line and changed the original [...]. And here’s what it looks like now,
$desc= str_replace('[More]','',$desc);
It didn’t worked. I mean, there’s no change. I wonder if I found the correct line?
Thank you!
Hi Rob,
Can you try changing yours at the folder i mentioned above inside the /inc folder.
Hi Allen,
Okay – I tried making a few changes to that line – didn’t have an impact on the posts on my site.
I’ve noticed, with feeds, that sometimes what is already posted is not effected by changes to the posting tool – those changes, at times, seem to impact just new posts.
And I just noticed something else – this is not happening on all my posts. I’m wondering is this now a result of the feeds themselves?
If you look at one of my sites – http://www.hitaco.info -and click the read more icon […] on the first two articles in the new window everything is as it should be – there is a single “read more” link and then the title is linked/clickable as well.
But if you go into the article titled “ISU to Pay HHS $400K for HIPAA Violation” – you’ll then see the doulbe “read more” lines.
So now I’m not sure what is causing it!

One thing you’ll need to confirm is whether the feed itself has a read more link in it. That will result in 2 read more links. Ill need to figure out a solution for this by providing an option to eliminate the read more link in the plugin.
Hey Allen,
I went over all the feeds and the 2nd readmore only shows up on those feeds that have their own “readmore” within the feed.
Thanks for your help! And, if you can create a solution in your next update that would be great 🙂
Still, by far, the best RSS import tool out there and it’s much appreciated! I don’t suppse you have one for Joomla??? They are in desperate need over there.
Be well…

Ok. This can be complicated because if I provide an option to take off the read more, that will work for some feeds (that already has a read more at the end of their excerpt in the RSS feed) but will eliminate a read more for those which don’t.
Hi Allen,
It’s ok. I will just use the RSS Feed widget without the excerpt. Anyway, it looks great, havin’ a lot of title lists at the widget area.
I would like to give my many thanks for your time and for your effort in creating this great plugin.
Armstrong!

Thanks…by the way
If you haven’t had a chance, please spend a moment and rate my plugin by going to
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/wp-rss-multi-importer/
It helps a lot with motivation since I don’t make any money improving this plugin 🙂
No, thank you! And I already did – on 5/5….I’d have given 10 stars if allowed – it just works perfectly – right down to the attribution – which I really need to provide.
Of course, after seeing, and signing up, on your site, I want to know where the plugin is that makes my site look that good 😉
Thanks again Allen!

Hi Rob (and Coach Armstrong)
Thanks…don’t know if you mean the MarketingProfs site (www.marketingprofs.com), but if so, we don’s use it there. I just made the plugin for my own use and then it turned into something useful for others.
Best wishes,
Allen
