Automatically skip post page and redirect to the external article

    There is an option in the feed to post admin to have the title linked directly to the source page. That is the only link that can be changed to act this way.

    Great! Is it any way to do the same thing with the pictures?

    The pictures also gets very blurry. Any way we can get high pictures in higher resolution?

    Are you sure the photos in the RSS feed are large with high resolution? If not, my plugin can’t do anything about that. You would need to set the size of the image smaller.

    Looking at this a little more in depth, I am not sure I’m going to be able to use the plugin to automatically redirect to the external article when clicking on the link OR picture on the front page..

    Is it possible to hook into the RSS plugin and modify the permalink for the image to the source URL. Do you allow this? And where can I do that?

    Otherwise I reckon I may need a jQuery script to do it for you on the front end?

    yes, you’ll need to figure out a jQuery script to do this….what you do is look for the div with a class of imagefix or ftpimage fix (depending on whether you are using the shortcode or feed to post), and change the hyperlink within that selector. You can get the permalink by looking at the code.

    Find the function ta_modified_post_title in the import_posts.php file to see how I get the link for the title…you could use the same idea in a jquery function.

    Thanks! I managed to use a function in the theme <head> to solve this.

    I’m trying to find the right php file in order to edit the way the plugin handles the import of the pictures. Is this the correct one?
    “wp-rss-multi-importer/inc/import_posts.php”

    I’m thinking something like the function below. Will that work?
    }

    function setFeaturedImage($post_id,$url,$featuredImageTitle){

    if( strpos( $url, ‘https://img.skysports.com/&#8217; ) >= 0 ){
    $url = str_replace( ‘128×67’, ‘660×350’, $url );
    }

    the file that handles the images is excerpt_functions.php

    OK, thanks!

    I noticed that I also need to get Unicode/UTF-8-characters in the imported posts. See here for example that it’s not working at the moment: https://www.fotballavisen.no/hangeland-uaktuelt-a-ta-en-riise/

    Is it possible to hook into the RSS plugin and modify how the plugin handles the character setting? Do you allow this? And where can I do that?

    sure, go into the excerpt_functions.php file…that is where this would be handled

    Hi Allen
    This is a wonderful plugin! I tried feedwordpress and many other plugins. But WP RSS Multi-Importer is very unique with so many features.

    Coming to the problem..
    My posts are not being redirected to the source page even after selecting the option available on feed to post settings (ref: https://oi44.tinypic.com/34zbm90.jpg ).

    Website i tried this on: https://www.telugupost.com/

    Please help.

    I love this plugin! It does everything I need it to do…almost.

    I’m using the plugin to pull content from the feed for our sports information director’s (non-Wordpress-based) athletic news site (https://www.battlingbishops.com/) and spit it out as posts on our main university news site (https://connect2.owu.edu/). That part seems to be working fine.

    What’s not working (and I can’t find a way to adjust this behavior) is that, for the posts created by this plugin, the title, thumbnail image, and “read more” button all point to a post on our site rather than directly linking to the external post on our sports news site.

    If I click to go into the post itself, however, then the title links to the external post as expected.

    Is there a way to change the plugin’s settings (even if it involves code-tweaking) so that the title/thumbnail/read-more all link directly to the external post? Alternatively, is there a way to make a more prominent “read the original story”-type link/button that is only visible on the individual post itself and not in the excerpt or anything that’s pulled for the “page of posts” homepage?

    Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide,
