Hi,

Our feed is not working. It's called South Coast Foundation, and it should be showing on this page on the left where it says "News." http://www.southcoastfoundation.org/dev/

Can you help? We have other feeds on other pages that do work, so I think I'm doing it right. I just can't figure this one out. The blog is a new blog, on wordpress, with just a couple of test blog posts.

Thank you!
Becki

Sorry, I found it under "Other output formats" at the bottom of the public digest page. Thank you!

Has the RSS feature been disabled? Is it -- or will it be -- enabled? I am in a similar situation as smkeith.

Nevermind, it's a theme conflict issue.

I've got a digest called "Site Changes" that is used to display feeds from all of our sites. The feed is called using http://www.xxx.net/?editorlog_show_rss=centennial where "centennial" is different for every feed. There are over a dozen feeds already included in this digest that are formatted exactly this way and have worked for months. Today I tried to add another one and got an error indicating:

You specified a Web page rather than a feed, but we found some feeds for that page! Did you mean any of these?
* http://www.xxx.net/feed (use this feed)

I've never gotten this error before and need to stop getting it! :)

Hello,
Thanks for your comment.
We added the RSS option to the Publish Digest list.

I'm using FI to merge several RSS feeds that I then want to plug into Feedburner to send to my subscribers daily. In my case, I've created a WP plugin that notifies me of every change to the site(s) and generates an RSS feed of the same. I merge them all into 1 feed so I can send daily status updates to ppl in my dept. Problem is, where did the RSS output option go? I know it used to exist, but it's not in the list anymore that I can find.

hugh12 on "Adding to Wordpress"

I want to add this feed to my wordpress blog on the sidebar. I am using the default theme and using widgets. How do i add the php script to the sidebar? I tried using the "text" widget and added some html and used the javascript code (which I don't want to use because search engines don't read it) and it washed out the screen. The entire screen was just the feed. It would not stay in the sidebar. Do I need to imbed the php into an html page? Any help on this would be really appreciated. Thanks,

Change it back to what it was, and then fix the encoding of the page you're displaying the digest on. That was the cause of the weird symbols, etc, not the digest. There's code to fix the encoding of your page at the bottom of the Get Inclusion Page. The reason IE shows weird symbols is because it's bad at guessing the encoding and renders unusual characters incorrectly in many situations if it's not prompted by the encoding meta tag.

Hi, I am having the same problem. It worked fine when I had it setup for plain text but as soon as I changed to DESCRIPTION in the template I lost my descriptions altogether. I'm actually fine with the plain text because I use firefox, but in IE the text would appear with occasional funny characters instead of apostrophes or other punctuation. I figured changing it to read HTML would fix that, but apparently not. Any suggestions?
This is the feed: http://www.poly.edu/library/blog/category/news/feed/

Again, based on the feed you linked to earlier, there are no descriptions in that feed for each item.. which is why this will be happening.

I'm trying to digest a self-hosted Wordpress blog, but the digest simply shows the title and then a couple blank lines until the "...read more". The documention says that the "description" should be there. Is this the same as the blog text? I don't see a description field when I compose a WordPress entry.

Unfortunately not.. however, I am aware there are some WordPress plugins that will do that for you. This might be more practical as it means the plugin pulls from your end, rather than us pushing from ours. Here are two I'm aware of:

You gotta be happy with installing plugins, though, but I get the impression you probably are :)

Just curious, are there any plans to populate entries directly into a WordPress blog... I would pay extra for that kind of service.

For 2) On some hosts, you can just paste the PHP code into the relevant place in the sidebar template (found under Presentation -> Theme Editor in Wordpress). On all hosts you can just paste the JavaScript code in.. so that might be a better place to start.

For 1) You can't put PHP directly into posts, and I'm not sure it will allow JavaScript through without editing it. You can, however, get a WordPress plugin to allow you to use PHP within posts. I have not done this myself, but Exec-PHP is the name of the plugin. See: http://bluesome.net/post/2005/08/18/50/

I'm just starting to blog and want to use a Feed Digest on a Wordpress blog page. I am not a programmer, so the threads about php and the like went over my head. How can I put a feed on (1) a post/page and (2) a theme sidebar, if possible?
