 * Im trying to pull data from the NHS Choices atom feed. I’ve got the feed working
   but when I try to map a field in the xml file into a custom field I’ve created,
   it doesn’t work.
 * The feed url is:
 * [http://v1.syndication.nhschoices.nhs.uk/organisations/dentists/9465/comments?apikey=LCFJLGUK](http://v1.syndication.nhschoices.nhs.uk/organisations/dentists/9465/comments?apikey=LCFJLGUK)
 * The description field contains CDATA – how do I get it into my custom field?

 * It’s a shame that there seems to be no support on this plugin anymore. For what
   it’s worth, I got my feed working by adding .xml to the feed, which I could then
   use to pull the CDATA text correctly, into my custom field.
 * This is a very powerful plugin, I’d hate to see the development stop.
