    Hi,

    Using the latest versions of WP and looking into using FeedWordPress.

    My goal is to import posts via an RSS feed that contains custom meta entries ie <loc>Timbuktoo</loc> that I would like to import into custom fields to make them a searchable criteria and allow easy display of this meta data.

    Is this possible with FeedWordPress?

    Thanks

    BAC

  • BAC,

    Yes, this is possible; but to do it you will need to write a custom filter in PHP. (Specifically, what you would want to do is to create a filter on the syndicated_post hook. For general information on add-ons and filters, check out https://feedwordpress.radgeek.com/wiki/add-ons-and-filters . I have not yet written up the documentation for the syndicated_post hook, but I will try to do so tomorrow when I have some free time, and will drop a note on this thread when I have the write-up done.)

    If you’re unfamiliar with or uncomfortable with coding your PHP extensions, feel free to contact me via https://feedwordpress.radgeek.com/contact to discuss other options for getting an appropriate add-on module developed.

    Thanks Charles, Im on a NFP project here so funding is tight – I am sure I can manage enough for a few beers at least if you can provide a simple example ??

    Cheers
