How to use Multipage Feeds?

Many feeds show only the last 10 items. If the site splits its feed into pages, like https://example.com/feed/?paged=2, the Professional add-on can read several pages of it on each run and get more items.

Enable the Feature
Once, in the Settings.

Go to WPeMatico β†’ Settings, open the Professional tab, turn on Enable “Multipaged” feeds feature and save the settings.

Set Up the Feed
In the Feed Advanced Options.

  1. Edit the campaign. In the Feeds for this Campaign box, click the Open Feed advanced Options icon of the feed.
  2. Check Check to use as a multipage feed.
  3. In Max pages to fetch, set how many pages to read.
  4. Click Click here to fix it automatically, so Max items to create on each fetch becomes Max pages Γ— 10.
  5. Close the window and click Update to save the campaign.
