In reply to: [FeedWordPress] Problem w/ Categories and Tags not WorkingAwesome! I have been searching for an answer forever! This was happening on over 20 blogs on 3 different hosts and little consistency in other installed plugins:
Category and Tag links on the public pages were taking me to Not Found pages. No posts were listed when clicking a tag or category in the admin panel. Like the taxonomies were completely broken. The only way to make category or tag links work was to disable feedwordpress.
This fixed it.

In reply to: [Plugin: Feedwordpress] 500 Error after upgrading to 2009.1111Using FeedWordPress on a dozen sites. All I am doing is aggregating headlines. In every case, it continues to leave behind rss_hash entries in the wp_options table which contain the entire feed. These build up until the whole site crashes. I try to clean them out every few days, but sometimes I miss one and the site goes down again. I have not found an automated solution.
I have read elsewhere that this is a “feature”. Well, any feature that consistently crashes the site after a period of time needs work.
I do not know if this is a feature of MagpieRSS or FeedWordPress, but your problem sounds like it comes from the same root. Some component in the process needs to clean up those useless entries that bloat the wp_options table.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: What are the _transient options for in the dbThese entries are actually causing some of my blogs to crash. I get memory errors when trying to access the site. (This host does not allow increasing the memory above 32M through the WP functions, but that is a different issue.)
Even removing all plugins was not letting me access either the live blog or the admin pages. Using phpMyAdmin, I deleted from wp_options only those entries beginning with _transient_ and the blog was immediately accessible.
I also cleaned out a bunch of records with option_name beginning with rss_. They contained the full content of individual feeds, some of the same feeds from different dates.
Between the two record purges, I removed over 300 entries, leaving only 315.
Not being a programmer, I am unsure of the problem. Any suggestions on automatically cleaning these out every so often would be appreciated. I manage three dozen blogs for myself and others.
