Inappropriate?CanadianA: it looks like this feed is working, but let me know if you think there are still issues.
For the people who just click on "I have this question too":
If you want me to help, you need to provide some information (twitter account name you're posting to, feed URL you're trying to post). Without this you will not get a reply as there is nothing for me to look at. -
Our feed had many new items added last night: http://www.worldmag.com/rss/
But they still haven't appeared on twitterfeed. -
I can see the reason for this: your feed doesn't contain dates, so you're using the GUIDs (unique id) to check if there are new items. In this case you have 2 options:
- if your feed is sorted, and new items appear at the top of the feed, then in the twitterfeed feed options have the option "feed is sorted" checked (this is the default setting). With this setting, twitterfeed will only pick new items off the top of the feed, so if a new item is inserted in the middle or at the end of a feed, it will not be posted.
- if your feed isn't sorted, and new items may appear anywhere in the feed, then you can de-select the "feed is sorted" option. This will cause twitterfeed to scan the entire feed, and post any items it hasn't posted previously (up to X items at a time, depending on your settings). This means a new item being added to the middle or the end of the feed should then be posted. The drawback is that initially, twitterfeed may post older items too, as it will scan through the feed and post anything that hasn't previously been posted.
In your case, you have the "feed is sorted" option selected, but the first item in the feed has already been sent (so I assume your new items are lower down), which is the reason these new items aren't sent. As described you can edit the feed settings and de-select the "feed is sorted" checkbox, but beware that this may initially post some older posts too.
Note that all this only applies to feeds which have the "select by GUID" option set (typically for feeds which don't contain any pubDate publish timestamps, so twitterfeed can't use this to determine what's new). -
Aha, yes, I see what you're saying. Hopefully we can rework our feed to have timestamps.
But what doesn't make sense is that the issue posted on our website two weeks ago appeared Nov 19 on our twitterfeed, so suddenly about 20 articles flooded the feed well after they had been published. Is this because they just worked their way to the top of the feed? -
No, I think this was because I made a change to how the GUID-based selections were handled, but then quickly realised that this posted old items for many users, so added the "feed is sorted" default setting to avoid this. -
Ok, so that late flash feed shouldn't happen again. Though I changed our feed to "isn't sorted," I'll just trash any old stories that pop up. -
Hi our feed worked yesterday but nothing's happening today. Here's the twitter account we're sending it to: http://twitter.com/ecomicBranding and this is our feed url: http://e-comicbranding.blogspot.com/f...
Thanks in advance! -

Inappropriate?Mario, it looks like it's working but the last post (http://pocketsofchange.edublogs.org/2...) was never tweeted from my Twitter account.
-
That's what I checked when I took a look, and it's there.. http://twitter.com/amichetti/status/9... -
Inappropriate?Mario - wow, you are right. I am so sorry. I don't know how I missed this. I even used Twitter search to check, a couple of weeks ago. Sorry! Thank you!

Inappropriate?I clicked on I have this ? too but I didn't see a way to include any information.
My Twitter name is ForstRose and the feed is for http://bibliophilesretreat.com the feed URL is http://feeds.feedburner.com/bibliophi...
I’m confused

Looking at the database, for some reason the last posted date for this feed is "2008-12-21 02:22:00" - which is in the future. This means that no posts will be sent unless their date is more recent than this. I don't know the reason for this date being there, but it must have been an incorrect pubDate on a post that caused this.
The easiest way to fix this would be to log in to twitterfeed, then delete and re-add the feed. This will clear out the dates. Also note that you have set up the same feed using 2 OpenID URLs, check https://twitterfeed.com/reminder which should show you the OpenIDs used. This is just to avoid duplicate postings... -
Inappropriate?I deleted the old OpenID feed and set up a new one under the other OpenID. As for the last post being a December date that is the date that was attached to that post though not the actual posting date. Only way I know to make a "stickypost" on blogger without making it a widget.
Thanks for letting me know that is what is keeping the new posts from showing on Twitter.
