Trying to duplicate RSS v2 feed for my podcast

There seems to be only one item in the source RSS feed at the time of posting this reply.

The custom feed page results in a 404 error.

Are you currently making any changes?

The original feed has only one entry. I am about to upload a second when I get this sorted.

Sorry about the 404, I had experimented with the custom feed URL and needed to refresh the site permalinks. It’s producing XML now.

I had used the query parameter ?feed=rss2 to force RSS v2 but I don’t think it would work if I placed the query parameter in the plugin custom feed URL field, would it?

Please note that WP RSS Aggregator does not republish RSS feeds.

Our plugin imports RSS feeds into Feed Items.

The custom feed that we provide is only a representation of the data imported from multiple feed sources that you set up.

This is why the RSS tags that were present in the original feed source will not necessarily be present in the custom fed.

Tags for the author, date, title and so on, will naturally be present and will contain the information imported by WP RSS Aggregator. However, the other tags will not be present.

It is important to note that our plugin does not republish RSS feeds. It creates a new feed using the imported items.

As for refreshing the custom feed when the content changes, once our plugin re-fetches the items, those items will appear in the custom feed. However, it is not an automatic re-publishing of the original feeds.

Thanks. For anybody else reading, I managed to republish an external feed locally using the method here: https://martech.zone/wordpress-publish-external-podcast-feed/

Thanks for sharing that link, Adam.

No problem. I don’t envy your job writing the plugins to deal with this RSS stuff.
