Fetch post from forum and post on WordPress

[World Citizen]

Hi,

I am trying to find a way to fetch new posts in a certain forum and automaticaly post them on my wordpress site.

The forum is not mine,
The WordPress site is mine.

The particular site has a subforum with maintenance topics. Everytime there is maintenance the admin will post a topic.

I want to fetch these topics and post them on my WP site. A single fetch with content of the startpost is enough.. additional reactions don’t need to be synced anymore.

I tried something with IfThisThenThat, and RSS … but can’t get a RSS feed of the particular subforum. Building a RSS feeder for this subforum was to much to ask from my skills ??

Does anybody have a way they can point me to.. A tip, or a method.. Just a simple heads-up on how I should do this would be great!

Thanks!

Hi!

The first thing you need is some sort of feed or API for the subforum. If you don’t have the feed from the subforum, then it is going to be difficult.

If the forum-software is having a API, maybe you find a plugin for it?

But if both is not possible, then the only solution that comes into my mind is a webcrawler, which scans the topics and make them ready for your wordpress. But this is custom development.

Sure it would help if you post the link to the forum.

Hi

Thanks for your effort ! Eveything is helpfull ??

I can find a global RSS url for the whole forum (not advertised but in the html), but not for the subforum..

The forum is https://forum.supercell.net/forumdisplay.php/52-Game-Updates

Although it looks like it’s a rss feed from the subforum… it isn’t… if I pull this RSS feed, I get ALL topics from the forum…

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Supercell Community Forums - Game Updates - RSS Feed" href="https://forum.supercell.net/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=52" />
