<p>This is a filter for the FeedWordPress plugin. <strong>If you don’t use FeedWordPress this plugin will not be useful to you.</strong></p>
<p>I wrote this filter after seeing the same post in my database 32 times.  Maybe you’ve had the same problem, and I hope this filter helps you solve it.</p>
<p>The filter works by hooking the “syndicated_post” action of FeedWordPress and the “save_post” action in the core of WordPress.</p>
<p>For each potential post from a feed, the plugin attempts to find an identical SHA1 hash of the first 1024 non-whitespace characters (stripped of HTML tags) of the post content.<br />
If it finds a match the post is skipped. If not, the post is processed and a hash is inserted into the post’s metadata. (Stored as key _dpf.)</p>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> No filter is going to be 100% accurate.  This filter will stop <em>most</em> or <em>some</em> duplicates, but in all likelihood, will not stop <em>all</em> of them.<br />
If you want a filter that stops <em>all</em> duplicates, this isn’t your solution. In my test installation I had 5 posted duplicates out of<br />
125 syndicated posts (4% false negative) out of a corpus of about 300 duplicates. Most of those false negatives were due to slightly different HTML markup<br />
in the post content itself. So my approach isn’t perfect, but it is “good enough” for me.</p>
<h3>Important Note</h3>
<p>This filter can only check future syndication posts.  Whatever duplicates are already present in your WordPress installation you’ll have to remove/clean-up on your own.</p>

It’s essential to note that this plugin serves educational purposes only.<br />
This plugin, called “Ada Fwp Link Decoder For Google News” is designed to enhance the functionality of WordPress websites that use the FeedWordPress plugin. Its primary purpose is to modify the content of syndicated posts imported through FeedWordPress. Here’s how the plugin works</p>
<h3>Compatibility Check</h3>
<p>Upon activation, the plugin first checks if the FeedWordPress plugin is active. If it finds that FeedWordPress is not installed or activated, it displays an error notice in the WordPress admin panel, informing the user that this plugin requires FeedWordPress to function properly.</p>
<h3>Content Modification</h3>
<p>The core functionality of the plugin is to decode and replace Google News links within syndicated content. When a syndicated post from a Google News source is imported, it often contains obfuscated links. This plugin identifies these links by matching them against a regular expression pattern. Once identified, it extracts the actual URL from the obfuscated link, decodes it from base64, and removes any unwanted characters. The result is a clean, direct link to the source content. This replacement is done to improve user experience and ensure that the links in syndicated posts are functional and user-friendly.</p>
<h3>Enhanced Syndication</h3>
<p>By enhancing the links within syndicated posts, the “Ada Fwp Link Decoder For Google News” plugin provides a smoother and more informative reading experience for website visitors. Instead of encountering cryptic Google News links, users will see direct links to the original source, making it easier for them to access additional information. This modification helps maintain the credibility and professionalism of the website, as it ensures that syndicated content appears more transparent and trustworthy. Overall, this plugin streamlines the syndication process for WordPress websites using FeedWordPress, contributing to a more user-friendly and informative platform.</p>
