Using the plugin
Post to RSS
The reverse direction: publish your own WordPress posts as one or more named custom feeds, alongside — not instead of — WordPress's built-in /feed/.
Useful for syndicating a filtered slice of your content (one category, one post type, one custom query) to partners, aggregators, or another Echo RSS install.
Creating a feed
Go to Echo RSS Feed Post Generator → Post to RSS Rules and fill in the blank row:
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Generated Feed Type | RSS 2.0 or Atom 1.0 |
| Generated RSS Feed Name | The feed's slug. Defaults to echo-feed if left blank |
| Feed Post Count | How many posts the feed contains |
| Full Content | Ticked: full post content. Unticked: excerpt only |
| Feed Update Period | Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Yearly — advertised to consumers in the feed metadata |
| Advanced Feed Query | Optional WP_Query-style query string for advanced filtering. Leave blank for the default |
| More Options | Advanced settings, including Add URL Parameter to Feed Items — append a tracking or campaign parameter to every item link |
| Del | Marks the rule for deletion on the next save |
Click Save Settings.
Your feed URLs
A feed named partners is served from both:
https://your-site.example/?feed=partners
https://your-site.example/partnersThe pretty URL needs permalinks flushed. Go to Settings → Permalinks and click Save Changes — no changes needed, just the save.
The rules table renders each saved feed's name as a link — click it to open the feed and confirm it parses.
Related global settings
- Main Settings → Generated Custom Feed Options → Link Articles From Generated Feeds Directly to Their Source makes each item in your generated feed point at the original source URL rather than at your own post. Useful when you are republishing imported content and want credit to flow upstream.
- Main Settings → Plugin Options → Apply Full Content Also To Generated Feeds Description puts the full extracted content into the feed's description field, not just the post body.
Displaying feeds instead of publishing them
Post-to-RSS publishes your content outward. To display content on the front end of your own site, see Shortcodes and blocks.
To embed a live external feed on a page — fetched at render time rather than imported — you need the full version's live RSS shortcode and Gutenberg block. See Free vs Paid.
