Whoops. Fixed it, now. So, as you can see (now), my plan has been to copy various possible places where the author value could be, into item.author.name. I later realize that this was not enough for many aggregated feeds, so I had to add quite a few custom author values. You have an example of that on the middle-left. I have a separate pipe for setting the author tag, which you should find easily (it is very simple: just populates the feed's item.author.name field for each post).

I've been trying to create one using the renamer. It appears in the debugger, but gets filtered out when running the pipe. I'm also having the same problem with the 'source' element. Thanks, Steve York Hi,
