    Can you post a link to your feed and a screenshot of your source feed settings?

    OK I see it is now pulling the rss feed..

    I have it set to display 5 topics from that feed.
    But now it seems to show the first topic, but all the rest are overwritten by the 5th feed.

    You are missing a lot of options.

    This plugin has no widget. I have no idea what the settings are from that you posted above. This plugin does require a bit of WordPress experience to use. I’d recommend you find a simpler plugin (I don’t think one exists) or pay someone to manage your WordPress install.

    Hey Taylor,

    I’m also having issues getting the plugin to pull feed. I don’t know what should be used in ‘xpath to posts’. Can you help please?

    thanks
