It has been a while since I’ve done this, but I do believe the page you save in step 5 is empty. It will populate with information from the RSS feed you select.

Re: “Also what should be placed in “page url” of the new page? Should the address of the feed be placed here?” Forgive me, but I’m not sure what you mean by this. The URL for the RSS you choose is added in step four.

In step 5, save the new page empty?

Also what should be placed in “page url” of the new page? Should the address of the feed be placed here? Thanks again! Lanna

echo include(”ex-rss.php”);

to

include(”ex-rss.php”);

in “rss02.txt”.

I’ve seen this happen before on my sites. Assuming you haven’t made any changes to your site, I don’t think it is anything you did, and the feed will likely return soon, if it hasn’t already. Unfortunately, I do not know how to prevent this from happening.

any ideas??

I’ve pondered this one all afternoon. To be honest, I have not tried adding an RSS feed to any of my wp/BANS sites, so I honestly do not know.

That being said, I do have a thought about this. It is just a thought, so if you try it please share your feedback.

I would add the feed to the BANS part of your site (which looks great, btw). I think it would work following the above instructions, just use the BANS folder instead of the root folder.

My guess is that you want to add a blog page to something like, “Firefighting News,” and have the RSS feed results show there. If so, you can create a blog page, but leave it blank. There is no need to add anything with my idea. Save the page. At this point, if you click the page you will see a blank page.

But, if you add a redirect to the RSS news feed page on the BANS side of your site, you can redirect people from your blog the BANS easily. It would be a seamless redirect, because both BANS and blog are using the same template.

If you decide to try this you can see instructions for creating the redirect, involving the .htaccess file, on this site. If you need help finding it let me know.

If you do this, and it works, I suspect you will need to “reinstall” the BANS side of your site. You wouldn’t actually reinstall it, but you would need to follow the steps to add the new blog page to the BANS side.

This might seem a bit clunky, but I’ve actually done this myself. It is pretty easy (even if it doesn’t sound like it) to redirect and it works well.

If anyone reading this knows of a better way to accomplish what Dave wants to do, please share.

Here is an interesting one, my original site was historicalfirefighting.com which unfortunately was deindexed by google. I have built a new site incorporating wordpress and bans with bans in a folder. I have a redirect 301 from my old site to new works fine. I would like to add the rss feed. How do I add the feed is it to the root which is wordpress or the store folder which is bans, I would appreciate your help Rochelle.

many thanks
Dave
