Hey, I used feeds importer to import a bunch of videos/content on the site. Now I want to go in and make some edits to these nodes manually, but when i click save it says URL field is required. How can I get around this?

It sounds like you created an importer that is attached to the same content type you were importing. The only way around that is to either detach the importer from that content type, or disable it.

Hi Twistor, I think you are right, I went ahead into the feeds settings and changed it to "stand alone form" so now instead of asking for a URL it is now asking me to upload a file, and I still cannot make adjustments to the content.. Looks like I may try to start over without attaching to start with, but would rather just "un-link" the relationship of the nodes and the feed.

Update - I just deleted the feeds importer all together and the link to the node is still there. I thought that might remove the feed form field from the node but it didn't.

I don't know what I did - I previously cleared caches and was still with the link to the feeds even after deleting as previously mentioned. But I created a new importer of the same type without the attachment and now all is fine. I wish I could explain how this happened.
