Direct external links for Feed to Post imported posts in Newspaper Flex Blocks

Hi,

I am using WP RSS Aggregator Pro v5 coupled with the tagdiv Newspaper Default Pro theme for a news aggregator site.

Can I add the RSS Aggregator shortcode to an already created flex block to get the direct external link functionality? My current set up has a nice-looking homepage. If you click an article on the homepage I am taken to another page on my site for the article. I want to have the first click on the article to link directly to the external site for the full article. Is this possible with the Flex Blocks?

Thanks!

Hi,
Unfortunately, this is not possible.
The Feeds plugin you are using automatically adds articles, and the Flex block displays those articles. However, the link to the original source can only be set within the article itself.
This means that when a user clicks on the Flex block, the article will open on your website. From there, if you include the source link inside the article, users will be able to access it.
Thank you!

Another Idea.
I have the NewsWeek Pro template and using Rss.APP to generate the RSS feed URL. RSS.APP has several templates that allow you to build various widgets (News Wall, List, Carousel, and Ticker). The widgets come across within the RSS feed URL to build the articles. Both of these products work great.

Hi,
So if I correctly understand, you want to use those widgets on your articles? If the widgets can be set under Appearance> widgets, then you can create a sidebar, set the widgets to configure as you need, and after that, on the page or template you want to display that widget, use tagDiv Composer, drag the widget sidebar element, and select the created sidebar. https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/ https://i.imgur.com/2XwG4PC.png
