Hi Kiklop74
Many thanks for your fast reply. I wonder, though, if we are talking at cross purposes. I have probably got something wrong, but when I just visited the El Pais web site the lastest opinion piece is about an hour old.
In fact there are more than 15 articles with today's date (25) at
http://elpais.com/tag/opinion/a/
and lots more at:
http://elpais.com/elpais/opinion.html
These were downloading fine last week (and for a year or so before that) - I usually download the Sunday edition and the Wednesday edition. Last Sunday worked and Wednesday didn't. It still isn't. I have just tried it again with both my original version 8.15 and 8.70 - both produce empty Opinion sections.
El Pais (at elpais.com) has definitely changed the front page layout and this does appear to correlate with (though not necessarily cause) the new behaviour in Calibre.
I've checked through the intermediate files produced by the recipe and the Opinion section is empty throughout. I'll take your word for it that the recipe is OK because I have no idea how it all works, but the failure is definitely not because the articles are too old. I've just read the one of the opinion columns with today's date and it reflects current news events - which hadn't happened in May. I'm fascinated to know what it is you're looking at.
When you run the recipe do you get today's columnists?
Thanks in advance - when it works it's beyond brilliant.
