import WITHIN a post?

Hi @capnjasbo

I would like to only trigger an import of an RSS feed, twice a day, and only within a single post. Is the only work-around to embed the posts into a page?

There are 2 ways to import all of the data to a single post:

1) Select the parent node element when creating the import so that you can access all of the data from a single record.

2) Use our API to append each record to a single post: https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/developers/action-reference/

Also, is there a way to automatically import just an excerpt with a [Read more] link to the original source?

This is largely dependent on the data you’re working with in the import. Is there an element that contains only the excerpt, and an element that contains a link to the original source? Can you show us an example of the data and an example of the expected results?

Thank you for the quick response!

The end goal is to automate this (click on “around the web reviews”):

I have webscrapers that I can tweak to get a format I like, but I have to still manually change the code for each post. Not much time saved. So the alternative solution I am thinking, is to just have a consistently updated RSS feed displayed for the newest movies. Then my employees will manually copy the information into the desired format I like.

For more info on my RSS feed being easily automated:

I have a google custom search engine and personal API key that can turn my search into an RSS feed. Easily copy and paste into each new movie post, changing just for each movie. But the API searches are limited to only 200 or so a day. Which is why I want to throttle the cache-ing. I am thinking of using other plugins/programs to auto update export each google CSE RSS feed into an xml file google doc. Which would then be scheduled to be scraped by your plugin until my employees can get it in the format I’d like.

Sorry if this is confusing and worded poorly. If you have a better solution for my end goal, let me know and I will gladly do that. If I can automate all of this to scrape and import in the formats I desire all with your plugin, I will happily pay for the premium and allocate my employee time to something better.

Thank you for your time!

Hey @capnjasbo

Well, it sounds like this should be do-able, but I can’t say for sure without actually having access to an example feed.

My suggestion is that you try this out at https://www.wpallimport.com/try/ – if you run into issues or have further questions, open a ticket at https://www.wpallimport.com/support/ with a brief description of the issue(s) you’re running into. This way we can log into the demo site, see the data/feed, and help with the settings.

Great. Will do and get back to ya.

Just tried, and I can’t edit my old posts in this support thread. Do you mind erasing everything above the “——” marks, please? I just want to keep the inner workings of my site a mystery, ya know?

Thank you!

@capnjasbo I’ve deleted your review as it wasn’t a review as much as your lashing out at the author for not deleting this topic or editing your replies. Plugin authors don’t have that capability only moderators can do that.

When you post here you have 60 minutes to edit that. After that it can’t be edited by you any longer.

I’ve read and re-read this topic. There’s nothing here that needs to be redacted.

@capnjasbo Thanks for the heads up. I’ve added NSFW to the link that you inserted NSFW images. Thank you for bringing that to the attention of the moderators with your new removed topic.
