    I would like to display my sites own custom feed on my site as an example of what my feed can look like on someone elses site. Can that be done without creating it’s own feed source?

  • Hi @lazyym

    With WP RSS Aggregator, you will first need to import feeds by setting them up at RSS Aggregator > Feed Sources. The custom feed will combine the imports and create an aggregated feed.

    If you are looking to display feeds from your own existing posts, WordPress creates them automatically for archive pages. You can have a separate feed per category, as explained in this WP Beginner article.

    Let me know if this helps.

    I want to display my wprss custom feed from /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wprss_feed&page=wprss-aggregator-settings&tab=custom_feed_settings on a single page WITHOUT it adding the output to itself. Does that make sense?

    @lazyym

    It seems you are trying to aggregate items from all feed sources and display the output on a single page.

    You needn’t use the custom feed for that. If you set up the custom feed as a source, your site will try to re-import the same content over again. The custom feed is meant for syndicating content to other sites.

    You can simply display the aggregated items using our Gutenberg block or shortcode. In the Gutenberg block’s Feed Sources panel, flip the switch to “Show All Feed Sources”.

    With the shortcode, you can simply use:
    [wp-rss-aggregator]

    When you skip specifying the feed sources in the shortcode, items from all feed sources will be aggregated.

    I hope this helps.

    That’s it! Problem solved. The short-code works perfect in a widget. Thanks so much. I was just making it too complicated.
