Hi @master-devwi

Thanks for the detailed feedback. I found that “Run now” and some scheduled imports could still use cached feed data when the Optimize setting was enabled, so the plugin might miss newly published episodes even when the RSS feed was already updated.

I’ve updated the plugin so imports now force a fresh RSS fetch with a unique cache-busting parameter, “Run now” bypasses cached XML, and future-dated published episodes are corrected so WordPress won’t schedule them by mistake. I also added a Debug tab to help verify the exact fetch URL, response headers, latest parsed episode, and cron status if this happens again.

Thanks for the help troubleshooting! I’ve just released version 1.0.20 to address the issues you found:

• Timezone Fix: Replaced PHP date() with WordPress-native gmdate() and get_date_from_gmt(). This ensures episodes are marked as “Published” immediately rather than “Scheduled” in the future.
• Cache Busting: Added strict no-cache headers to wp_remote_get() to force a fresh pull from Spotify/Anchor every time.
• Reliability: Fixed a bug where the “Run Now” button would still see old cached data if the “Optimize” setting was active.

Please update and let me know if your next episode appears instantly!

Hi @master-devwi

Do you know if your site or host has any caching plugins (e.g., WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache) or server-level caching (Redis, Memcached, Varnish)?
Do you know if WP-Cron is disabled or replaced with a real cron job?
When you click “Run Now,” does anything appear in the logs or admin screen?

thanks

As we haven’t received a response, I’ll be closing the ticket for now. If you have an RSS link, feel free to contact us again and we’ll be happy to look into the issue.

@master-devwi
Thanks for updating us!

We tested both of the feeds you provided in our development environment using several themes (including BlogHash and Twenty Twenty-Five).

Our plugin uses the WordPress filters post_thumbnail_id and post_thumbnail_html to display the image URL, so it’s possible that something in your setup (such as a theme or another plugin) is interfering with those filters.

To help us debug further, could you please create a staging environment and share the WordPress admin and FTP access details with us privately? That way, we can investigate the issue directly and find a reliable fix.

Thanks again for your cooperation and for helping us improve the plugin!

Best regards,

Hi @master-devwi

I released version 1.0.14. This update should allow you to replace the featured image by uploading it to the media library. You just need to review the feed settings.
and refetch the feed if needed
