Can I use a feed from Site B to display via the loop of Site A

  • Background:
    I have two wp sites, one a business site (Site A) the second an industry blog site (Site B). Both are my content.

    Both sites run different themes.

    I want to call the blog from “Site B” and display it within the theme of “Site A” presenting it with all the relevant styling. I have been able to call the feed into a page using $rss = fetch_feed(, but the results are not desirable and I can not successfully style it like “Site A”s theme.

    Because I am not using the blog on “Site A” can I somehow edit code somewhere so that the loop that is utilised within the theme calls the blog feed from “Site B” instead of the bloginfo from “Site A” of which there is none.

    I know this is complex and somewhat backwards, but I need my business to be about the business “Site A” brand and “Site B” to promote me personally to build my independent reputation.

    Amy suggestions? Has anyone done this successfully in the past?

    Thanks in advance.

  • I’ve used autoblog plugins previously using RSS feeds and cron jobs to achieve full automation, this was years ago though, so I imagine plugins like WP RSS Aggregator will work fine for you.

    Alternatively, you could take a look at using Multisite to create yourself a self-contained network of WP blogs.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for your reply, unfortunately multi site isn’t an option in my case. The aggregator might work, but I was hoping to avoid paying for addons – as mentioned I am trying to replicate the themes style and the aggregator won’t do this – even with the thumbnail addon. I will spend some time seeing if I can come up with a solution.
