Hope this helps. * Thread Starter [culturegroove](https://wordpress.org/support/users/culturegroove/) * (@culturegroove) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-plugin/#post-353472) * thanks for the suggestion. i got the plugin installed but i am still not sure how to add the code to the child page. do i need a plugin to allow for php in a post? * [monkeypup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monkeypup/) * (@monkeypup) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-plugin/#post-353530) * Culture groove- Indeed, to put php in the body of a post or page (rather than in the php source document), you will need a plugin. Thankfully, such a plugin exists. CG-Quickphp, which you can find here: [http://www.chait.net/index.php?p=310](http://www.chait.net/index.php?p=310) Yet another David Chait plugin. Since I’m mentioning him, his CG-Referrer plugin is also great! -mp * Thread Starter [culturegroove](https://wordpress.org/support/users/culturegroove/) * (@culturegroove) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-plugin/#post-353605) * monkeypup * thanks for the suggestions. i just can’t get these to work. i have both of these installed and activated.. and i assume i’ve got to add the php in the html of the post. if i use regular php functions the post is blank. if i use quickphp the post is not only blank, but wordpress doesn’t save the code at all. i have no idea what i’m doing wrong. * 🙁 * i’ve been trying to figure this out for a week and i’m starting to go a little funny in the head! * 🙂 * [davidchait](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidchait/) * (@davidchait) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-plugin/#post-353654) * if you read the docs for quickphp, you’d see it will do one function call, not bracketed further. So one call to getSomeFeed will work fine. but trying to do a big block of `` inside a quickphp tag won’t work… * I haven’t tested quickphp in the new WYSIWYG editor — it is possible that to do PHP and such you need to use the old vanilla editor. * Otherwise, if the page content is going to be ENTIRELY the results of CG-FeedRead, you can create a custom page template and do the call from there, then tell the page to use the new custom template. I do that instead for anything more than quickphp does… 😉 * -d * Thread Starter [culturegroove](https://wordpress.org/support/users/culturegroove/) * (@culturegroove) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-plugin/#post-353658) * david, Honestly, I don’t get most of what you are saying. I am still trying to wrap my head around many of the things that wordpress does. If I create a child page via ‘Write Pages’ if forces me to add content via a post. I want to use a child page as I want it to look like the rest of my blog and I can’t figure out how to edit it any other way. I have tried numermorous times to add your sample feed and quickphp code in various places and posts but nothing seems to work. * I suppose i could try to create a new page using the existing index.php and see if the feed code works that way since i’d be working around a post. i guess i’ll just have to give it a try and see if it works. * any other suggestions are very welcome. i do appreciate the help. * Thread Starter [culturegroove](https://wordpress.org/support/users/culturegroove/) * (@culturegroove) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-plugin/#post-353706) * david, i finally got the plugin to work in my sidebar. and it looks great. thanks for your help. i’ll definately add a link to your site. * [monkeypup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/monkeypup/) * (@monkeypup) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-plugin/#post-353720) * Sure, give him all the credit! 🙂 Just kidding. David’s got some great plugins and deserves the praise. * [davidchait](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidchait/) * (@davidchait) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-plugin/#post-353721) * cg – if you want to try to get it embedded in a page or custom template at some point, ping me at my site and I can try to help directly… some of these things are hard to guide a person through via a forum post. 😉 * glad you got it running in the sidebar at least — that means that if you want to get it into a page at some point, it’s already up and running. * -d Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘RSS Feed plugin?’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [RSS](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/rss/) * 9 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [davidchait](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidchait/) * Last activity: [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-plugin/#post-353721) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
