RSS Feed for wordpress Latest Posts

Wellsy89

Hi,

My forum is successfully installed and i have been looking into a latest posts widget.

There are two rss feeds i have been able to locate:
1. http://www.lsu-cycling.co.uk/discussions/#/discussions/feed.rss
2. http://www.lsu-cycling.co.uk/vanilla/discussions/feed.rss

No1. Loads the rss feed within my plugin for wordpress, and then when you click on a title it loads within the window.

No2. Loads the rss feed but when i place this in a widget the link only goes to the vanilla install, so not within the plugin.

Has anyone got any suggestions as to how i can get a latest posts widget to link to my vanilla>?

In your <Embed> Vanilla settings screen, have you checked the box marked "Force your forum to be viewed through the Remote Url"?

This should be what you're looking for.

Were did you get a latest post rss feed from?

Comes standard with every vanilla installation. It's always at www.domain.com/path/to/vanilla/discussions/feed.rss

Our url in vanilla 2 looks like this www.domain.com/index.php?p=/discussions/

When i try www.domain.com/index.php?p=/discussions/feed.rss I get a error.

Also tried www.domain.com/index.php?p=/discussions/feed with the same error

On my machine I have vanilla in the v/ folder, so when going to http://localhost/v/index.php?p=/discussions/feed.rss , I get the RSS feed... What version of Vanilla are you using?

I didn't notice this setting until i read your post. When using the rss widget in wordpress, and I click a post link, it tries to direct it to the forum, shows it un-embeded for a second, goes to the page which it's embeded but doesn't show the forum.

The rss link wants to goto http://mysite.com/forums/index.php?p=/discussion/2/new-user-registration-test

The actual link to it is http://mysite.com/forums/index.php?p=/discussion/2/new-user-registration-test/#Item_2

Seems like the embed plugin is adding #item_2 to the end of the url or whatever item it would be
