Importing RSS feeds

Victor Jonsson edited this page Apr 14, 2014 · 10 revisions

When importing an RSS-feed in Arlima you will get access to the feed content in the list manager. The feed will be presented as an ordinary article list. You will not be able to edit the content of the imported list, instead you drag articles from the imported list to one of your own lists. Once an article is dragged over to one of your own lists the text will become editable and possible image in the feed item will become downloaded to your Wordpress installation.

  1. Navigate to "Manage lists" -> "Settings" in wp-admin. Scroll down to the meta box labeled "Import". Add the URL of the RSS-feed in the text input and click on the button labeled "import".
  2. Go to "Manage lists" in wp-admin. Choose the imported list in the list navigator (bullet point #1 in the interface walkthrough). You will find the imported list in the bottom of the dropdown menu, below the title "Imported lists"
  3. Click on the button "Add" to the right of the list navigator and the imported list will popup looking as an ordinary list except that it will have a grey border instead of a blue border.

If you would like to publish the RSS feed immediately on your website you create a new page and select the imported feed in the Arlima meta box
