Issue with Featured Video Field for Imported RSS Feed in Newspaper Theme

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 5

I am experiencing an issue with my WordPress site while using the Newspaper theme in combination with the WPeMatico plugin (Pro version) to import RSS feeds containing videos.
Specifically, the problem lies in the way the theme handles video posts:
Articles imported from the RSS feed are created correctly, but they do not display as expected because the “Featured Video” field is not automatically populated.

I have purchased the Pro version of WPeMatico, which includes the ability to configure custom feed tags and custom fields. However, I am unsure how to use this feature or what values should be entered to map the RSS feed’s video data to the “Featured Video” field of the theme.

Could you please advise on how I can ensure that the “Featured Video” field is automatically filled when importing RSS feeds with WPeMatico? Alternatively, is there a recommended solution or workaround to achieve this functionality?

Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your response.

Hello,

Unfortunately, this plugin has not been tested with the theme. A workaround is to set the video in the post content.

Thank you!

Alright, thank you, I am already doing this.
Could you kindly provide me with the name of the custom field ‘featured video’ so I can try to add it to the plugin wpematico?
