Title: Feed Name as User Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Feed Name as User * Resolved [givesgift](https://wordpress.org/support/users/givesgift/) * (@givesgift) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feed-name-as-user/) * Hello, * I would like to say thank you for the plugin * Question is it possible to set the feed name as a user? * Basically is there a way to auto create a user that is a feed name? Currently I have to create a new user and manually change each post with the correct user * thank you, John * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rss-multi-importer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rss-multi-importer/) Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feed-name-as-user/#post-5053621) * technically, this can be done but I’m assuming this is for the feed to post…what would have to happen is the feed name could be set as a user (but to do that a password would be needed or generated)…right now, that’s not a feature of the plugin….if you want to try it, though, let me know and I’ll give you a file to replace that should make this happen. * Thread Starter [givesgift](https://wordpress.org/support/users/givesgift/) * (@givesgift) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feed-name-as-user/#post-5053625) * Sounds Great, * When you have a moment, I would like the file to replace * thank you, John * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feed-name-as-user/#post-5053631) * ok..you can use this file instead of what’s on your server * [https://www.dropbox.com/s/slomcuvoue0dvzs/import_posts.php](https://www.dropbox.com/s/slomcuvoue0dvzs/import_posts.php) * Thread Starter [givesgift](https://wordpress.org/support/users/givesgift/) * (@givesgift) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feed-name-as-user/#post-5053636) * thank you, John * Plugin Author [Allen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amweiss98/) * (@amweiss98) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feed-name-as-user/#post-5053638) * let me know if this works or not. * Thread Starter [givesgift](https://wordpress.org/support/users/givesgift/) * (@givesgift) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feed-name-as-user/#post-5053643) * I uploaded the file you gave me * It works. Thanks. But the 50 word excerpt disappeared.
