    If you read that etiquette you will know why you are not getting help. You haven’t explained what steps you have done and what isn't working.

    Aslo you should also normally post under the plugin so the plugin author knows.

    1. i installed the plugin
    2. i added feeds
    3. nothing works ( feeds do not post i added like 10 feeds all different sites just to test )
    4. posted to a forum saying this
    5. directed to another post about making steps i already stated when 1st posting.
    6. sorry i am stressed here, just need a working plugin vanilla approved the plugin so i was sure it would work.
    7. does vanilla use cron jobs if so how to set them up for vanilla with cpanel? correct settings?
    8. why was a plugin approved when it clearly does not work, i am starting to wish i stayed with smf but i will stick with vanilla for 1 more month to see how it goes, just a rough time right now with this cms and the plugins i need are not working.

    this system uses curl

    make sure your feeds are reachable by curl, ensure you php version has php-curl and all the curl functions are not disbaled. It also need simplexml module and simplexml_load_string to work.

    The feeds need a LastPublishDate and entries guids and pubDates

    Incase anyone else has these issues, when adding the curl option for cpanel just select curl ssl and not curl leave curl unticked, this would be done in apache rebuild in cpanel.

    Well nearly lol, did what you said but i think a cron job needs to be setup, made a new post for that but basically this post has been resolved kind of. Plugin posted 1 item so it is half working now.
