Displaying rss feeds on WordPress page

  • This is probably a simple answer, but I haven’t been able to find one by searching. I have multiple blogs on one domain, what I want to do is create a page in wordpress as a sitemap, and on this page use one of the feed displaying scripts to display the rss for all of the blogs. Not sure how to do this, when I post the code to the page, it just displays the code instead of running it, it works fine if I add it to a page, like the sidebar.php, etc, but I don’t want this shown on every page. How do I make wordpress run the php code on one of it’s pages that I create? Am I going about it the wrong way? What wordpress needs is an easy way to display other wordpress feeds on it’s own, say withing a post or a page. Surely I’m not the only one wanting a quick and simple way to do something like this. Should I just create a php page that looks like my blog and link to it that way?

  • Create your page without any content. Then set up a template specifically for that page using the plugin’s functionality where you want the rss feeds to display, and assign it to the Page.

    Great thanks for the info, almost there now. Now it get’s an internal server error when trying to use one of the feeds from my site, the wp-feed2.php, it tries to load forever before getting the server error. Is there a feed that the program from Chaitgear, CG-Feedread, likes?

    I’m a techie and I found all that overly technical. Maybe it’s because I see my blog as a toy, not work. I was hoping I could have something in the post like

    <wpspecial rss='https://www.mysite.com/rss.xml' />

    and it would pick up on the tag and parse in the (cached html). Is that feasible? I’d be happy to write it if someone could point me in the right direction – but when I’m blogging I want it to be simple.

    smedley – just saw your post. drop me a line at cgcode at chait dot net if still having problems. Also, the CG-PowerPack 1.5a8 release has a feedread extras folder with an example drop-in php page to show a bunch of feeds.

    sarahknz – what are you trying to do? have a post that IS a dynamic RSS feed listing? like using a Page in WP1.5 to show feeds? I’ve been thinking of adding this to CG-Inline (the ability to inline a FeedRead lookup…). Lemme know… ??

    Did anyone ever figure this out?

    I’ve tried using “The Execution of All Things v0.4” plugin in conjunction with an rssLinkList plugin, but cannot get it to work.

    Parts of my blog are technical and if I’m discussing a blog or feed I’ve found somewhere it would be good to be able to display it too.

    Example: Watching my directory?

    I want it to be quick and easy. In the example above I have a vested interest in making a big more of an effort but in most cases I dont ??
