Hello,

I'm trying to pull posts from an RSS feed and inside the custom PHP section I'm putting this

$post['post_content'] = strip_tags($post['post_content']);

Isn't this supposed to strip all the tags from the main post content itself and then update? It doesn't seem to be working for me at all when using this.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Yes it is. But the code will affect new posts only. The existing ones won't be modified. Also you may want to strip tags from the post excerpts too:

Thanks

I have one more question, i'm pulling a full text version of the google news RSS feed and it seems to work properly in every regard but one thing, it shows sometimes at the beginning of the post content the original date of the article (since its pulling from the full content of the original article itself). Is there a way to 'detect' this with php and then remove it possibly with str_replace or something like that?

Seems it will require some Login to see this link. Contact me on email with the examples of what exactly must be removed.
