Newbie here. How do I set up RSS in my WordPress blog such that: 1. My content can be 'fed out' to RSS subscribers? and 2. I can pull in RSS feeds from other sources and convert them to posts? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you, -Kat
Hi Kat! Wordpress already has RSS built in so people can subscribe to your feeds without you having to do anything. When you a theme it should have a link in the sidebar or footer that says RSS. As for grabbing RSS from elsewhere to auto make posts you would need some kind of script but I dont know which one would be best to use.
My site doesn't have any RSS link anywhere (located at www.wordpress-adsense-system.com). I've looked through admin panel and can't find anything I have to activate with respect to RSS. So I'm confused about how others can subscribe to my feed. How do I get the RSS link to show up? Thanks for your help, TurfSniffer. Kat
Here you go All you need to do is add a link to this from your blog by either using an RSS icon image or just a normal text link to the web address above. You can then submit your RSS feed to RSS directories.
I tried that to Darren i even read your nice blogg but it did not work at all http://www.personalthailand.com/wordpress/ it just gave me some error when i enter feed after the / What to do ? Can you also tell me what URL FEED i should put in DP to get a link like yours?
Yellowberry, do you mean the recent blog option: go to cp, options and then right at the bottom put http://yourblog/?feed=rss2 Darren, I get a 404 when I try to put http://dwlnews.com/rss and then I tried http://dwlnews.com/?feed=rss2 and I got a weird error. Am I even close? Edit, I tried http://dwlnews.com/?feed=rss, is this it?
Yes i am looking for the URL for put in DP thats correct i tried your suggestion now lets see if that works. My /feed get that strange message as well And i can see now that after posting this the RSS did not work as you said in my DP either. And after that i just changed the feedburner url it was a space in the settings and i was ok and now it works. But i still like to know how i can this feed on my other websites. Beucase feed burder is not my real RSS.
Check under your profile for what nickname is being used within word press, this sometimes causes feed errors. Read http://wordpress.org/support/topic/78950?replies=12
I created 1 thread about rss to blog few days back,we need use some plugin or code simple vb program,that can fetch data from rss and post in blog,u need to use cron job to make this process repeate at some given time, u can choose feeds from where we need to update content, give them backlink if req.
Update: I changed my user/profile names off defult and now this seems to work http://dwlnews.com/?feed=rss2 and this generates an rss version 0.92 http://dwlnews.com/?feed=rss, and this still gets a 404 http://dwlnews.com/rss. Is any of those right?
I think this is because you are not using permalinks on your blog for the url of your posts. Notice how your posts are numbered and use a question mark? i.e. http://dwlnews.com/?p=16 If thats they way you want to keep your url then use the other rss feeds you mentioned on the above post. As far as I know http://dwlnews.com/?feed=rss is the same as http://dwlnews.com/rss. I would consider using the permalinks because it look neater and its SEO friendly. Very simple to setup.
