I tried and all I have is this: We couldn't find valid date/time stamps on items. Please make sure your feed contains valid pubDate entries for each post . I am currently using Wordpress as a blog, is Wordpress incompatible with Twitterfeed?
On my wordpress blog, I have the rss feed set to "summary mode". It isnt showing a date... which apparently twitterfeed needs in order to work. How do I add this?
From what I can tell the pubDate is there and in the correct format, but Twitterfeed doesn't seem to like it. Is the following the correct format and or could you help me figure this out.
pubDate Mon, 07 Jul 2008 03:08:00 UTC
If that doesn't work, could I just use the utc timestamp as a guid instead?
I'm trying my best to import a feed from feed43 (HTML scraping), then put on twitter. The feed doesn't include PubDate, but I'm trying to find the best alternative.
I've spent the past 3 hours or so trying to fidget around with Yahoo Pipes to add a pubDate in, but it seems to absolutely hate me.
I know that pubDate should be in rfc822 date-time format (something like: "%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S GMT" -- argument for strftime() or strptime()), but my RSS feed supplies pubDate in the format "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y" (default format produced by asctime(), ctime() functions).
Could twitterfeed add support for such format?
I've created a yahoo pipe to fix item's pubDate as a workaround, but maybe someone has this problem too.
However I'm not sure whether I understand it well... if an RSS item changes its pubDate but its link stays the same, and I uncheck the “Include item link” option, does the item get reposted if it is still the 1st in the feed?
