Issue with permalinks using filters

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 2

We are using a standard rss plugin WP RSS Aggregator. The plugin developer told us to check with you to suggest why when applying the filter the following should be making the post link go to the source rather than local post permalink:

add_filter( ‘wprss_ftp_link_post_title’, ‘__return_true’ );

… specifically the links to post from the homepage should be going to where the article was scraped from – instead the filter is being essentially ignored and simply goes to the post article rather than the original source. Using your theme the filter does work if on an archive page — I nned to know how to make this work on homepage. Examples here:

Hi,

Unfortunately the theme was not tested with any rss plugins, and does not have this implementation in it’s structure, so I could not have a solution to provide you in this regard. The Newspaper theme was built with creating your own content in mind, not pulling from external sources using feeds. Maybe the plugin simply does not work with the theme or you just have to configure it further. Please try to understand that not all plugins are compatible with premium themes, maybe you should search for other plugins with this functionality and try a few of them out.

Thank you for understanding!

Hi, I am wondering if you ever figured this out? I’m having the same/similar problem. The filter that RSS Aggregator works on the home page but not any category pages. Thanks

Hello,

Sorry but the theme does not handle feeds. They are handled by WP and plugins.
Here is an example: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-embed-an-external-rss-feed-in-wordpress-posts-via-shortcode/

Thank you!
