I can manually refresh any feed but they will not update automatically, with cron, or poormanscron. Any ideas? Please help me out.

My Feed Settings
Refresh feed on creation: checked
Update existing feed items: checked
Minimum refresh period: 30 minutes
Delete news items older than: Never Delete

Parsers:
- Do not verify SSL peer: NOT checked
Processors:
- FeedAPI Node
- - Node type of feed items: Story
- - Input format for feed items: Filtered HTML
- - Created date of item nodes: Retrieve from feed checked
- - Duplicates: Check for duplicates only within feed checked

For my site it works through setting the cron job on cPanel. But I think it will refresh all feeds with the same setting period and at the same time. Is this true?

So I also want know it's possible to refresh feeds automatically just only by the Feed Settings option: Minimun refresh period. Because this option can set a differet period for each feed. I try doing this way without running cron, but nothing happened.

The same question is how this setting option "Minimun refresh period" works. Thanks!

jrpowell01: please check your version, I don't think you're using 1.6.

#1: setting 'minimum refresh period' does not cause the feed to refresh. The minimum refresh period setting basically says "don't refresh this feed more often than X". Once this time is elapsed, the feed will be refreshed when feedapi gets around to do so on cron. When exactly this happens depends a lot on the number of feeds in your system.
