Needed help

[PandathePanda]

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

I'm trying to add a reciepe for EWN.co.za but seems I'm doing something wrong

this is what I did: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9vigluz7ys..._1001.zip?dl=0

OK. Fixed most of my problems by starting over

Here is what i've done so far. It works, but I'm unable to get rid of a few elements.

class AdvancedUserRecipe1445226821(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title          = u'EWN'
    oldest_article = 7
    max_articles_per_feed = 100
    auto_cleanup = True

    feeds          = [(u'Local', u'http://ewn.co.za/RSS%20Feeds/Latest%20News?category=Local'), 
	(u'World', u'http://ewn.co.za/RSS%20Feeds/Latest%20News?category=World'), 
	(u'Sport', u'http://ewn.co.za/RSS%20Feeds/Latest%20News?category=Sport')]

    remove_tags = [ dict(name='div',  attrs={'class':'emailForm'}),
                dict(name='div',  attrs={'class':'byline'}),
                dict(name='div',  attrs={'class':'article-topics'}),
                dict(name='div',  attrs={'class':'comments'})
               ]

Trying to get rid of unneeded text by using the remove_tag function. Only the comments is being removed the rest not

[kovidgoyal]

you cant use both auto_cleanup and remove_tags. Set auto_cleanup to False

Thanx Kovid.

But seems I'm getting this error now. (Think me will give up)
