 * This was a firewall issue connecting back to the proxy… backend servers could
   talk to the proxy on 80, but not 443. To resolve this, I scheduled the cron through
   the OS, rather than rely on WP cron. Additionally, I had to clear out a number
   of stale wprss_* events. I did this using the wp cli, ie: “wp cron event delete
   wp_rss_fetch_single_feed_hook”.

 * Btw, it’s the “wprss_fetch_single_feed_hook” that appears to be “stuck”. There
   are several of these, I’m assuming one per each feed. Each time I fetch all feeds
   from the “debugging” tab in the admin, it adds another set of these events to
   the cron list. They never complete, even after running wp-cron.php as described
   above.
 * I’ve noticed if I set the wprss log level to “Error or below” in the general 
   settings, I get some output here:
 * ./wp-content/log/wprss/log_blg-1.txt
 * However, the output only seems to come from the wprss_fetch_insert_all_feed_items()
   function. I don’t see anything from the wprss_fetch_insert_single_feed_items()
   function, even though there are numerous log statements within. As near as I 
   can tell, it isn’t actually being executed.

 * Hi [@erricgunawan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erricgunawan/),
    I checked
   the Wp-cron status. I have an error saying curl cannot connect to port 443 of
   my host. There are a number of “wprss_tech_single_feed_hook” items in the “(now)”
   state.
 * That appears to be part of the problem, so I’ve reached out to my host. In the
   meantime, I’m trying to manually run wp-cron.php, and the feeds don’t import 
   like that either. I’ve tried to invoke wp-cron.php as follows:
 * #1
    $ php wp-cron.php # Appears to run successfully, but feed items still don’t
   import.
 * #2
    $ curl [https://mysite/wp-cron.php](https://mysite/wp-cron.php) # fails to
   run since my backend server can’t talk to 443 on the public domain
 * #3
    Enter [https://mysite/wp-cron.php](https://mysite/wp-cron.php) into my browser,
   loads a blank page, and returns a 200 status. Feed items still don’t import.
 * If Wp-cron runs, it should import the feeds, correct? Do I need to delete the“
   stuck” items first?

 * Hi Eric,
    Yes, I went through the list. No htaccess, curl is enabled, php version
   above 5.3.9.
 * It had been working for months prior to us switching over the SSL a couple weeks
   ago. We’re behind an nginx proxy, with SSL terminated at the proxy. I’m wondering
   if that has something to do with it… wordpress would have been switched over 
   to https, but the backend servers still communicate over standard port 80.

 * Great, thanks! I’ve been able to get something going – good to know I’m on the
   right track.
 * I’ll check out using update_post_meta() as well. I think that makes sense for
   my situation.

 * I was trying to figure out the best way to store the data, retrieve it, and then
   display it in the template.
 * I think I found what I was looking for though:
    [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_post_meta](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_post_meta)
 * It looks like I can just add my URL as metadata for each post, and retrieve it
   for display on my theme.
 * One question – when a post is deleted, does all associated metadata get removed,
   or do I need to handle removing any metadata I add?

 * The problem seems to be we added additional pages to the development site, which
   conflict with the posts we’re trying to import from production. It looks like
   they (posts and pages) all get stored in the same wp_posts table. So edits to
   a page generate additional rows in wp_posts with ID’s that conflict with the 
   posts we’re trying to bring in from production. Ugh…
