First off, thanks for all of your hard work here at Zidalgo. Your themes are excellent and I'm sure I can speak for everyone here when I say we appreciate all you do. Please continue to provide us with such great service and support.


I am posting today in hopes of finding a solution for the rss feed problem were having over at http://www.theillfew.com. We are a mangement and promotions company and we would like to include the rss feed from some our clients' blogs onto our site. However as opposed to just plain text on the sidebar (see the current "GREYSON ESPRIT" feed on the site), I am trying to put a different rss feed on each of the different pages (Designers, Djs, Photographers, etc. as seen in the header navigation) and NOT on the main page. I'm trying to use the WP-o-Matic plugin to do so, but am not sure as how to only include rss feed from client "A" on page "A", rss feed from client "B" on page "B" and so forth. Honestly, I'm not even sure if this is the right plugin to do so. Basically, for instance, the DJs page would have an rss feed from http://www.fresh85.com, the photographers page would have a feed from http://www.greysonesprit.com etc. Also, I would like to include photos, not just text.


I know this is asking alot, and any light shed on the topic would be very helpful and appreciated. Thanks again!

Hi Kyle,


 The WP-o-Matic doesn't have a good documentation, so I'm not able to give you an accurate response since I'm just guessing. In order to achieve that, I think you could try using the feature they say the plugin has, that allows you to asociate an RSS feed to a particular category, so what you could do is creating differente categories for each of the pages you have, and then asociating the feeds with the categories as the plugin author says, and then placing the posts under the right categories and pages. For the images, I think you should see if the plugin allows pictures, and also you should take into account that the feed must have pictures either.

That might solve your problem, but as I said, I'm just guessing here, and actually I've never tried the plugin. Also I've read the plugin has a lot of bugs, so you may consider using another plugin, here you can find a list of some of the plugins to handle RSS feeds for worpress

Let me know if you solve your issue.

I think we've found a way around it, thanks again. I'll continue to keep looking.


However I do have another question. Is there any way to setup a page to where it automatically displays all posts in a certain category? For example, if you click the "DJs" page, all posts with the "Fresh85″ categorization will show entirely (like the main home page) instead of just the title and date (like the archives page). Or maybe even all posts with the same tags? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi again Kyle,


I may not understand your question, if you're asking how to show all the posts belonging to the same category on one page, it automatically does, you just need to add a link to http://www.yoursite.com/?cat=Category Number], example if the number of the Fresh85 category is 19, the page at http://www.yoursite.com/?cat=19 will show all the posts under that category.


I that's not what you asked, please let me know.
