I have an event portal https://evenesis.com/events/. I would like to test import events (custom post type) from staging website https://wordpress-556430-2568836.cloudwaysapps.com/event_cat/health-fitness/feed/
However, only the title, the description being imported and nothing more. Kindly answer for the following questions:
- How can export events as RSS? Ur plugin only supports Post to RSS (event post type not supported)
- How can I match even custom details/fields while importing? e.g. normally events has Event Date, Event Location, etc.
- Normally your set schedule minimum we can set 1 hour to crawl RSS into Events, can it be lesser than that? Like every 1 min?
- How does cronjob works? I have set secret term and URL is there https://evenesis.com/events/?run_echo=test1 but how does it work? Kindly explain.
- I want to test to create correct format of RSS feed from my staging website link above, to the actual website (evenesis.com/events). Kindly assist how to import events as exact format as it is, including button URLs, CSS codes, etc.
- When we have an update inside a post (e.g. Title or description change), how RSS to post function would work? Would it override latest and deletes previous? How can we have that integration?
- Which unique key is a unique identifier in ur plugin to detect content wether it’s published or updated, is it <guid URL> or what?
Really appreciate your soonest respond,
Thank you and Regards,
Jon

Hello,
First of all, thank you for your purchase.
1. The Echo RSS plugin can create RSS feeds also for custom post types, please use the ‘Advanced Feed Query’ settings field. You can enter there: &post_type=event – (or the custom slug of your post type)
Please check this video for details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gobN4qTaGTA
2. For this, you need to use the custom feed attribute feature of the plugin, please check this video for details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4BMWi2tCGQ
3. Currently, the plugin is limited to a minimum of 1 hour rule running period. This limitation is to not allow users to overuse their server’s resources and contact me afterwards complaining that the plugin is not working. If you wish, I can add this feature to the plugin, as a payed custom update (just for you), for details on this, please contact me at my email [email protected]
4. You need to create an external cron job which calls the URL you created. However, please note that this will only fire the cron running process – the rules will still run on the schedule you set them to run. For more info on setting a server side cron, please check this link: https://kb.mailpoet.com/article/257-setting-the-server-side-cron-linux-cron
5. Please check if creating the custom RSS feed explained at point 1. helped on this.
6. Yes, the RSS feeds will automatically update with changes, based on the schedule WordPress updates RSS feeds. Details: https://www.greengeeks.com/tutorials/how-to-change-the-wordpress-rss-feed-update-interval/
7. Yes, the guid will be an unique identifier for each post found in the RSS feeds.
Let me know if this info helped.

Hello,
Please check my answers below:
2a. Getting classes from the content is possible only if you scrape article full content from the source URLs. To do this, please check the ‘Try to Get Full Article Content’ checkbox in importing rule settings in the Echo RSS plugin and you will be able to select ‘Full Content Query Type’ -> Class + ‘Search Query String’ -> the class name you wish to extract from the source content.
2b. Meta tags are not possible to be added in the RSS feeds (they can only be imported from the RSS feeds to posts). If you need this feature, I can add a custom update to the plugin to add this functionality to it, for details, please contact me at my email [email protected]
2c. Adding the tags can be done only into the post content, not into the featured image or other post data.
3. Regarding the custom tags you wish to scrape from https://wordpress-556430-2568836.cloudwaysapps.com/?call_custom_simple_rss=1&csrp_post_type=event – they are not able to be scraped because the tags you wish to scrape (for example ova_mb_event_event_tag) are not contained in the root of the RSS item, but in the <dc:dataset> RSS item leaf.
If you could remove the <dc:dataset> container from the above RSS feed and add the ova_mb_event_event_tag tag directly in the RSS feed item structure, importing it with the plugin would work.
I hope this info helped.

Szabi – CodeRevolution.
