Hi there,

Thanks for using Shortcoder. With shortcoder, we cannot implement any programming related concepts like variables, loops and conditions.

However, I can suggest you use “custom parameters”.
More details here – https://www.aakashweb.com/docs/shortcoder/custom-parameters/

You can create a shortcode with ORP391935 replaced with a parameter like %%myid%% and then use the shortcode like [sc name="hey" myid="ORP391935"][/sc]

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi Dave,

Thanks for using Super RSS Reader – PRO.

I see that the “count” attribute is missing in the shortcode.
If you want “ticker” effect then use the below attributes
count="15" display_type="vertical_ticker" visible_items="5"

For pagination type,
count="15" display_type="paginated" page_size="5"

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi Valve,

Thanks for checking Super RSS Reader plugin.

The RSS reader has “CSS class” names set to various elements like title, description, thumbnail etc. Users can tweak the style using this as per their requirement. Below FAQ has the list of class names which you can use.

FAQ

However, there is no form or GUI option provided to customize these considering the requirements are usually very diverse.

The ability to customize the RSS reader, the class names etc. remain the same in both free and PRO. The PRO version does not provide explicit options/form to customize that. You can continue with the free version if you are looking for customization alone. The list of PRO only features are listed below.

Super RSS Reader

Super RSS Reader also provides WordPress “hooks” using which you can modify the output like including custom text, pulling custom feed data, adding custom class etc. Below document has more info on this.

Actions and Filters

Please do let me know if you are any more questions, I would be happy to clarify them.

Thanks,

Hi,

This issue seems new. The plugin did not receive any new update. So it should be working as previously.

Do you see the issue with normal posts and pages?
Did you install any new plugin related to this?

If you were not able to find a clue, please create a temp admin user and share the credentials with me to my contact form below.

I’ll login and look at the issue live.

Hi Mandeep,

The RSS feed server itself was throwing internal server error. I’m not sure why. If the RSS feed works, the reader will work.

But the above issue is not seen very often. When I looked at your site now, the reader works as expected.

Like in my previous email, I would suggest using a proxy like “feedburner” for your RSS feed to see if it helps.

Thanks,

Hi there,

Thanks for using Announcer – PRO.

Looks like you have activated the free version. The free version must be deactivated before the PRO version can be activated.

Installation

I have deactivated the free version and activated the PRO version on your website.

Hi Kim,

Thanks for checking Shortcoder. For the requirement you have mentioned, shortcoder might not be the solution. To add a button to every post you must use a different plugin or use WordPress API using PHP to add button like in the discussion below.

Hi @Chroma,

Can you please share a screenshot of the “repository edit settings” page in GIW? I would like to see the repository against your configuration.

Also, if the repository is private, please enter the authentication settings in the GIW main page below the table.

Thanks,

Hi Simon,

Thanks for using Super RSS Reader – PRO.

I analyzed the RSS feed you are using and see that the title and description are of same text hence you are seeing the same in the reader.

Since Super RSS Reader works on the RSS feed content, it happens to be that the source material is having such content.

1) I would suggest try different RSS feed source with same content.
2) Disable feed description altogether and keep only the title and the image.

Please let me know how I can help you further on this.

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi Mandeep,

I tried looking at this and I’m not sure why Google news RSS feed is gave http error 503 (internal server error). This is something beyond plugin’s control. Not sure if Google is blacklisting your server.

Also, can you confirm if you have placed any PHP code to increase the RSS feed refresh/cache time? May be that frequency is prohibiting Google news to stop serving the RSS feed to your site?

What I have done now is created a proxy for google news RSS feed using feedburner. So the RSS feed URL would be https://feeds.feedburner.com/google/LF5KTaTKj6J. Please let me know how it goes.

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi,

I see the error now. As mentioned previously Google reports error 503 which means “server error” on the Google news side.

Or Google is blocking the requests coming from your website. Google can do it it thinks many RSS requests are coming from your site or if there is any abuse.

All other RSS feed works fine.

I’ll check what can be done here.

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi Mandeep,

I just logged in to your site. I noticed that “Debugging mode” was turned on in Super RSS Reader – PRO settings page.

I disabled that now and see the page is loading and RSS feed is displayed as expected.

Please check if the issue is resolved. I wouldn’t be able to join for a call until 11PM IST. We can communicate over email if that is comfortable for you.

Thanks,
Aakash
