    Hello,

    We are needing to authenticate our access to a RSS feed provided by the Canadian Press. Our current RSS plugin, FeedWordPress allows us to enter a username and password to authenticate, but this plugin is out of date and is no longer being maintained. Does WP RSS Aggregator allow for this type of functionality, either in the free or commercial versions?

    Cheers,

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    @mikehermary Our plugin does not currently allow you to enter authentication info for a feed.

    However, if the feed uses basic HTTP authentication, you can simply add the user and password to the feed URL, like this:

    Before: https://somesite.com/feed
    After: https://user:[email protected]/feed
