Import Remote RSS in WordPress
March 7, 2006 | 13 Comments
The delivered WordPress import utility for RSS is a little annoying in that it requires you to provide a file. Who actually downloads a copy of an RSS feed to their desktop?
Anyway, when we began alpha testing WordPress MU for deployment at Plymouth State, we realized we needed a version of the importer that would allow a user to simply give a URL of their RSS and have it work.
This is simply a modification of the existing RSS importer, a majority of the code is outwardly taken from that. This will work for both WordPress and WordPress MU.
- Download this PHP file.
- Drop it in your wp-admin/import/ directory.
- Go to the Import link in your admin interface.
- Celebrate!
