When I try to syndicate the following feed as a full text the whole bottom area of the CyberSEO Pro Syndicator screen become one huge hyperlink to Login to see this link

 

Login to see the quote

 

I'm unable to attach a screenshot here, but basically everything below the preview box is underlined and acts a hyperlink, even the drop down lists.

Seems that the <figure> block in the post breaks the preview window layout. Tomorrow I'll symply filer it out. That's not something to worry about. Thanks for heads up.

I've checked the feed and that's an error in it's HTML code. The double closed <a> tag:

Login to see the code

Course I can strip-off all <a> tags from the preview, but I don't think that's a good idea to do so because of one single broken feed... The next time they break their HTML code in some other place... Say it will be a double closed <strong> tag or whatever...

Yes, that makes sense, you shouldn't alter the code for a single broken feed item.

I think I'll have to wait until this item disappears from the feed in the future so I'd be able to add the feed to my list, as now any click on the screen just opens the external page.

I can tell you more. If you add such a broken article to your blog, the same will happen to your own content there as well. I mean the rest of it below the imported article will turn into a link and that will not be a CyberSEO Pro fail...

Login to see this link

UPDATE: as far as I can see, the newest post in that feed has no formatting issues.

Thanks for the follow-up. Yes I just tried it again and the new post worked well.

I share your security concerns re imported content, but it is an inherent risk of using feed aggregators, and I try to only syndicate from trust worthy websites. I've also installed WordFence as per the recommendation on your security page. I already had Jetpack Protect.

Thanks for your fantastic support.

BTW, when you have syndicated a broken post, don't delete it. Just manually change its status to "draft". So it won't be visible and won't break your site's layout. But the plugin won't add it again, because it will see that the post already exists (even if it's not visible for your visitors), so it will just skip it and add the next post instead.

The "Balance tags" option has been added in version 10.001. It will try to fix redundant and unclosed HTML tags of the post content and the post excerpt via WordPress API.

I hope it will help fixing problems like the one, mentioned in this thread. The CyberSEO Pro post preview mode now uses it by default. However you have to read the Login to see this link before using this option in the feed settings.
