Is it possible to get Events posts included in the RSS feed for the blog?

[Cynthia Lockley]

The RSS feed for my site only include regular posts and none of the event posted. Is there a way to get them included? The latest event posts sits just below the calendar on the home page but isn’t included in the feed: http://events.stcwdc.org/feed/ (The event disappeared from the calendar after the 3.0.2 update but that is in another thread.)

Hi Cynthia,

I am still looking into the feasibility of this with our plugin. As you know, the old instructions for this no longer work and I created a ticket to have one of our developers take a look. I haven’t heard back yet but will post back here as soon as I do.

Thanks for your patience,
Jonah

Hi Cynthia,

I followed up with you here as well (https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/v3-tutorial-how-to-customize-your-rss-feed-is-it-for-version-3-and-wp-3-5-2/) but the snippets to include events in your RSS feed as instructed here (https://theeventscalendar.com/how-to-add-events-to-your-rss-feed/) should work – you just need to make sure to clear your cache. Try that and let us know whether or not it works for you.

Thanks Jonah. The snippets do get the event posts in the feed but then the regular posts are gone. See http://events.stcwdc.org/feed/
Without the top snippet, I get the regular posts back but no event posts.
I’d like to be able to include both in the feed.

Hi Cynthia,

You’re right, the posts are gone. I’m going back to one of our developers to ask them about this. Stay tuned.

Plus one for a fix to this. Thanks.

Hi all,

In the latest update this should now be fixed. Please update to the latest version, clear your cache and let us know how it goes.

Thanks,
Jonah

I’ve updated to the new versions and took out the code in the functions.php to include the event posts. I cleared cache and now I get my regular posts but the latest event post is not included. Does the update only include upcoming event posts and not past event posts? Our latest event post was for an event last week.

Hi Cynthia,

You will still need the code in your functions.php file to show events in the main RSS feed.

Ah! Put it back and now everything is in the RSS feed. Thanks!

[Jonah]

You’re welcome Cynthia, glad that worked!
