Feed to Post: Change Permalink to Original Post

    I have reviewed the FAQ, documentation, and the forum for this plugin and I was unable to find what I need.

    My question is for the ‘Feed to Post’ plugin:

    What I need is to change the permalinks on the front page to the original post. So instead of going to the post inside my website, it goes directly the article/post from the original website.

    I think I can do this with ‘Link to Enclosure’, but my coding skills are rudimentary and I didn’t understand the nomenclature that was being used in the documentation (Link to Enclosure) explanation.

    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Hi, since this forum is for the core plugin only, we will be replying via the support ticket you have already sent.

    I am trying to do the same thing, but I can’t figure out how.

    Is it possible to redirect the post to the original content, rather than to another post on my website?

    CaidenCowger,

    There’s no quick fix and you need to know some coding to be able to do what we want to do.

    I’m trying to find friends to do this for me.

    You and I are on the same wavelength. It’s logical to think that the ‘Feed-to-Post’ plugin would do this or at least have the option to do this, since that is the main purpose of the plugin, but it doesn’t come with this feature.

    Tito haven’t you received a reply from our support via email?

    It’s actually very easy to do, just checkout the filters available for Feed to Post:

    Jean,

    Yes, they gave me some code to mimic, but nothing like what you posted.

    Customer support response is quick and friendly.

    I’m just not proficient in coding, but the link you sent helps a bunch.

    To show my level of knowledge, do I place this code via FTP or can I do it in Edit CSS or Editor on the frontend?

    And either way, where do I place this code?

    Sorry for all the questions.

    Jean,

    Disregard my previous post.

    I figured it out.

    CaidenCowger,

    1) Click on https://www.wprssaggregator.com/docs/advanced-filters/
    2) Copy the selection under ‘Make post titles link to the original article’. In other words, the following: add_filter( ‘wprss_ftp_link_post_title’, ‘__return_true’ );
    3) Go to your dashboard.
    4) Go to ‘Installed Plugins’.
    5) Click on ‘edit’ under ‘WP RSS Aggregator -Feed to Post’.
    4) Paste your selection before the first line of code and you’re done. Everything should work as you want it, ie, click on the link and it goes to the original article.
