– Certain things will cause RSS Poster to take much more time to convert the RSS feed into a full text feed: 1. The feed URL you provide is not compliant with the RSS 2.0 specifications. 2. The feed URL you provide is not a RSS feed. You have to provide (for example) www.wprssposter.com/feed/ rather than just www.wprssposter.com. Otherwise, RSS Poster will spend extra time in locating the correct RSS feed address. 3. The retrieved webpage may contain many other elements besides the full text to parse out. 4. The retrieved webpage is not built in accordance with Web standards. The maximum time allowed for RSS Poster to fetch a full text feed is 10 minutes.
