Yes. WPeMatico reads RSS and Atom feeds, so when a website does not offer one, the Make me Feed Good add-on creates it for you. It builds an RSS 2.0 feed on your own WordPress site from the pages of the external website, and your campaigns then use that feed like any other.
You add the URL of the page that lists the articles (for example, the home page or a category page of the site) and tell the add-on which elements contain the titles and links, using CSS selectors or IDs of the page. The add-on generates the feed, with the number of items you choose, and keeps it updated. A Test Area shows you a preview of the resulting feed before you use it.
- Create as many feeds as you need, each one as a WordPress-style entry with its own name.
- Feeds can be public or private, visible only to logged-in users.
- Relative links of the source page are converted to absolute URLs.
- The feed templates can be copied to your theme and customized.
For a step-by-step example, see Tutorial on how to create a feed page.
A feed created this way contains the titles and links of the articles. To publish the complete text and images of each article, combine it with the Full Content add-on, which visits each link and extracts the whole article. The Feed Creator membership includes both add-ons at a discount.
The add-on reads the HTML returned by the server, so it cannot extract titles or content from pages that load their articles with JavaScript (AJAX). If you have doubts about a particular site, send us its URL through a support ticket and we will check it.
