      Hello,

      I’m wondering if anyone can help me fix why the news is showing headlines older than 2 days when I have the config statement that states ignore news older than 2 days. Did I implement it wrong? Am I missing something?

      Thanks in advance.

      {
      			module: "newsfeed",
      			position: "bottom_bar",
      			config: {
      				feeds: [
      					{
      						title: "CBC Windsor News",
      						url: "https://www.cbc.ca/cmlink/rss-canada-windsor"
      
      					},
      					{
      						title: "Windsor Star News",
      						url: "http://windsorstar.com/category/news/local-news/feed"
      
      					},
      					{
      						title: "CBC Top Stories News",
      						url: "https://www.cbc.ca/cmlink/rss-topstories"
      					}
      				],
      				showSourceTitle: true,
      				showPublishDate: true,
      				broadcastNewsFeeds: true,
      				broadcastNewsUpdates: true,
      				ignoreOlderThan: 172800000 //Ignore news older than 2 days (2days->172800000ms)
      			}
      		},

        I was just playing with this. I think you need to add:
        ignoreOldItems: true

          @thad That makes sense.
          It works now, thanks.

            @thad Edit: I just checked it, and a 4 day old headline was displayed.

              @Extra I am having the same issue. Most of the news I see is new but I have news that is showing from 4 5 and 6 months ago as well. I have tried multiple different ways to format the config with the same problems everytime. Did you ever figure this out?
