Important: If you cut and paste the line of code define(‘MAGPIE_CACHE_ON’, false);, make sure that the single quotation marks ( ‘ ) are not “curly.” You might have to retype the single quotation marks, the ones encasing the phrase MAGPIE_CACHE_ON.

Update regarding the Content Related Feeds Plugin for WordPress:

Ezio Tuveri, the author of the content-related rss feeds plugin, said to turn WordPress Magpie caching off, and I found that adding the line define(‘MAGPIE_CACHE_ON’, false); to the rss-functions.php file in the wp-includes folder (in my WordPress installation) solved the problem. The news feeds are no longer stored in my database.

In short, the solution is to add the line define(‘MAGPIE_CACHE_ON’, false); to the rss-functions.php file in the wp-includes folder (in WordPress).

Don’t consider a deleted comment a failure to respond. Comment spam filters do a lot of the removal for us and it might be sitting in the moderation queue. Be patient and ask again if you get no response. You can also seek help sometimes in the WordPress Support Forums.

While I agree about the cache, which is odd, I wonder if that isn’t part of the filtering process to determine related content. I’m not familiar with the Plugin so please let us know what happens with that. It’s a novel ideal for a feed and has great possibilities.

Regarding your mentioning of the Content Related Feeds Plugin for WordPress

Today I asked the author of the “Content Related Feeds Plugin for WordPress” for help. I posted the following comment to his blog:

In your plugin script you say, “The plugin is set up to display the news from yahoo.com, you can change it if you are familiar with php, if you don’t or you need any help leave a message in the plugin page at http://www.2very.com/content-related-rss-feeds-plugin/.”

I have noticed that your content-related rss feeds plugin caches entire Yahoo news articles in the “options” portion of the mySQL database used by my WordPress installation. But I only use headlines and do not even need a cache.

How can I truncate or eliminate the Yahoo news cache so that I can reduce the size of my database. (The Yahoo news cache sometimes grows to 90 MB or more.)

Yesterday I posted a similar comment and said that caching entire Yahoo news articles in the WordPress database is foolishness. Ezio Tuveri, the author of the content-related rss feeds plugin, did not answer my request and deleted the comment. I hope he provides an answer this time around.

[...] WordPress Feb 7 at 4:36 am by Lorelle VanFossen – Now that the dust is starting to settle around the recent WordPress 2.1, as was the hot news last week and the week before, there is a lot of new features and fun being had on WordPress.com blogs and a new contest by Aaron Brazell which should make some noise for a very powerful but often overlooked feature on WordPress blogs.
