These instructions can be used to place an RSS feed into a UW Theme page in WordPress. RSS Feeds are a way of delivering external news content to your website in a way that keeps them regularly updated. The UW WordPress Theme can use RSS feeds, however it does require you to use 'shortcode' to import that into a text block on a page.
NOTE: For information on how to use a feed from UW-Madison News, be sure to also see the sample at the bottom of this page.
In some cases, when using a site that doesn't have a traditional .rss URL, you may need to add a /feed/ to the end of a URL. For example, when you are trying to use a news feed from UW-Madison News, you would first find the category or tag that you want to create a feed for.
Do this by clicking on a menu Category option, such as Science & Technology. Once you have that page loaded, http://news.wisc.edu/science-technology/, type in the word feed after the slash at the end of the URL (http://news.wisc.edu/science-technology/feed/) and hit enter. This will show some code on the screen, but you will copy the URL value.
You could also do the same for a tag, for example http://news.wisc.edu/tag/science/feed/ for a news feed about articles that are tagged science.
This is the URL that you will use for a feed from UW-Madison News to display on your page, using the steps above.
