RSS feed from wordpress site

I’ve got BBC feeds that work using the [Content] and [Description] placeholders
I also want to include content from our own Wordpress site.
This works with the [Description] placeholder but shows blank with the [Content] placeholder. We need content instead of description as otherwise the testimonials we want to display are cut short.

Looking in the wordpress newsfeed the content section starts

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have used...

but no text is shown at all…

Any ideas?

So probably [content|encoded]

Actually [content:encoded] is a standard tag that should be pulled in using the [Content] template variable in Xibo. As for why your specific feed isn’t working, we may need to look at it if you can provide the URL?

For what it’s worth, we use a vanilla Wordpress install to run our RSS ticker. The feed URL that worked is http://< YOUR WP URL >/?feed=rss2 (with your appropriate URI substituted). We then override the template under “Appearance” with "[Title] - " because we only use the Title field from WP.

That worked for me with [title] but never [content].

I had to create a Feedburner url using my Wordpress feed and then the [content] tagged then worked using that.

Still haven’t been able to make a standard Wordpress rss feed work. No idea why - Can you test your feed to see if you can get [content] working with that setup please?

Here’s my feed link if anyone can see why the content isn’t appearing

It seems like the content tag is working when we try it here? Although it should be noted that the formatting is removed because the content is providing its own HTML.

You could style that with CSS in the style sheet box.
