I have read all threads here and even online documentation about feed fetching but I still do not understand some parts.
1. Activate cron jobs. OK, l activate cron jobs through my cpanel with the command :
0 */2 * * *
GET http://mysite.com/plugins/import_feed/cron_jobs.php > /dev/null
which means that the script cron_jobs.php should be executed every second hour.
(By the way, I use /dev/null in order to stop getting emails with html tags in it. There is something wrong with email format in vivvo script, but enough about that, that's not primary problem).
2. Then in Vivvo admin I define the time interval for feed fetching, let's say 5 hours. Now I don't understand if the fething frequency is every 2 hours as I defined in cron job command, or every 5 hours as I defined in Vivvo admin? Please someone explain this.
Further, I put the link to rss feed in some category but nothing happens even after 24 hours(I waited:)) , no news. First when I manually click on "Fetch news NOW" the rss feed is imported and news appear in choosen category. But later, there is always same news, nothing changes.
As I understand, news from feed should be fetched automatically after above configuration ( every second or every fifth hour ??). But they are not.
Please someone answer my questions and explain if the feed fething should work automatically or not, and if yes, how to get it to work automatically.
Don't point to documentation about Feed Importer plugin, it does not help.
