Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Feed Embedder for Substack

Yes, as long as the publication is public. The plugin reads the public RSS feed that every Substack exposes at /feed.

Yes. If you enter a full feed URL (any valid https:// RSS feed), the plugin will use it as-is. Bare site URLs get /feed appended automatically, which matches Substack's convention.

Not currently. It is a good idea, but Substack does not expose Activity or Notes in a way the plugin can reliably use today. If Substack makes that possible in the future, I will definitely look at adding support.

No. The feed is fetched server-side and cached with WordPress transients for the duration you configure (default 60 minutes), so most page loads never hit Substack at all.

Yes. Use the url attribute: [fefs_feed url="https://first.substack.com"] and [fefs_feed url="https://second.substack.com"].

Only the post images (hosted on Substack's CDN). No scripts, iframes or trackers are embedded.
