No, actually, the site changed around the same time as the last release.

Or, at least, I assume so. FFF supports both wuxiaworld.com and
wuxiaworld.co. wuxiaworld.com is the one that changed.

Please include a story URL whenever reporting issues.

I posted a test version of the plugin here:

Test version of web service here:
https://3-8-1-dot-fanficfare.appspot.com

Test version of CLI for pip install: You'll have to get it from the
testpypi repository. This works for me on Debian:

> pip install --extra-index-url https://testpypi.python.org/pypi --upgrade FanFicFare

Sorry, I posted pretty late last night so I wasn't thinking much.

I tested https://www.wuxiaworld.com/novel/i-reincarnated-for-nothing and other ww.com novels and they all show the time data does not match error report.
Tested with the calibre latest addon as well as the web service.

Your test version 3.8.1 starts processing (so it gets past the current versions error) but it is already working on https://www.wuxiaworld.com/novel/terror-infinity for more than two hours now. Not sure if it will finish.

Probably not. The web service frequently runs out of time on stories
with large numbers of chapters (that has 800+).

Since you have Calibre available, I recommend using the plugin. Web
service is only kept running for the benefit of users who can't use CLI
or plugin.

Install the test version of the plugin from the forum post:

It definitely is NOT the new version.
I haven't used fanficfare or Calibre since the day after my last post here (I've been busy, plus first I read what I posted about, then I've been reading a library book the old-fashioned way.)
I just started Calibre and declined the update, then tried to download the example post. Same error:

https://www.wuxiaworld.com/novel/i-reincarnated-for-nothing

P.S. Is there any reason to update Calibre or Fanficfare now when it will probably update again before I use it as opposed to waiting until I'm ready to use it and only updating once?
I've never used wuxiaworld, and I mostly use Fanficfare for Xenforo boards, Ficwad, and very rarely Pit of Voles (fanfictiondownloader lets me skip messing with Calibre and put the file directly in my 20 year old fanfic hierarchy that has its own organization system by fandom I've used since 1997. Long before there was a Calibre.)

Yea, Jimm already clarified it, the WW website changed things on their end, which coincided with the timing for a FFF update.

None that I can think of. If you seldom use it, update when you have a
reason to.
