Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about RSS Retriever Lite
Yes. The plugin includes powerful HTML post templates for titles, slugs, content, and excerpts. You can use placeholders such as %post_title%, %post_content%, %post_excerpt%, or %xml_tags[...]% to design your own structure. This gives you full control over how imported articles or products look in WordPress - from simple layouts to complex, SEO-optimized templates that automatically include dynamic data from the feed. Examples: - To add a link back to the original source at the end of each post: Source: %link% - To display the publication date from the feed: Published on %post_date% These templates make it easy to enrich your posts with useful information, improve SEO, and maintain a consistent style across all imported content.
The plugin can import any supported feed (RSS, Google Product Feed, Yandex Product Feed) as WooCommerce products. To do this, select product in the Post type dropdown. After that, in the Custom taxonomies section you will see additional text fields: Brands, Product categories, Product tags, and Product shipping classes. You can enter values here separated by commas and/or use placeholders. For example, %xml_tags[g:price]% when importing from a Google Product Feed, or %xml_tags[price]% when importing from a Yandex Market (YML) feed. Optionally, you can enable the Categories to WooCommerce checkbox to automatically convert categories from an RSS feed into WooCommerce product categories.
If you are importing a product feed (for example, a Yandex Market / YML feed), you can save any XML tag directly into a WooCommerce product custom field using the Custom fields textarea. Each rule must follow the format: xml_tag_name->custom_field_name One rule per line. For example, Yandex Market feeds usually provide the product price in the tag. WooCommerce stores product prices in the _price meta key. To automatically save the imported price into the WooCommerce product price field, use the following rule: price->_price This tells the plugin to take the value of the XML tag and write it into the WooCommerce _price custom field during import. You can add as many rules as you want. For instance, to save the old price () into WooCommerce’s regular price field, add: oldprice->_regular_price
Yes. If you enable the Auto tags option, the plugin will scan the content of each imported post and automatically apply tags that already exist in your WordPress site whenever matching words are found in the text.
Yes. YouTube video feeds are supported. For YouTube, you need to use the official feed URLs that Google still provides. Examples: - https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw - https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=PL41UI99jyjP9eu9M76TIwQ-ihpvr7cs9n When adding such a feed, go to the feed settings Media handling in the dropdown Post thumbnails, select Create from media attachment. YouTube provides thumbnails via <media:thumbnail> in the feed (as media attachments), so this option ensures that each imported post gets a proper WordPress featured image.
If you are using WPML or Polylang and have more than one language on your site, you can create translated versions of each imported post automatically. For example, if your site has English (EN) as the main language and French (FR) and German (DE) as additional languages, you need to add the same feed three times in the RSS Retriever Syndicator. We recommend adding the language code (EN, FR, DE) to the feed name so it is easier to manage. In the settings of each feed instance: 1. Select the correct language group (EN, FR, or DE). 2. Enable automatic translation into that language. This way every imported post will have its own translated version in the correct language group, fully integrated with WPML or Polylang.
You can control this using the Post lifetime setting. It defines the period in hours after which an imported post will be automatically deleted. If you do not want to limit the lifetime, set this parameter to 0. This is especially useful when importing WooCommerce products or any other content where freshness matters, such as product feeds, time-limited offers, or news updates.
Yes, the plugin allows you to adjust publication dates using the Post date adjustment range setting. This range defines a random offset (in minutes) that will be applied to each imported post. For example, if you set [0..60], each post date will be shifted forward by a random value between 0 and 60 minutes. Negative values are also supported, so a range like [-60..-10] will backdate posts into the past. This option works together with the Base date setting, which can be either Get date from post or Use syndication date (the current time). Combined, these settings give you full flexibility: you can backdate imported content, spread posts more evenly in time, or even schedule them into the future.
Yes, the plugin supports automatic translation via Google, Yandex, and DeepL APIs. For Yandex Translate, you can use API keys from both versions - v1.5 and v2 are supported. For DeepL, both free and paid API keys work. If you enter a free API key on the Accounts page, make sure to also enable the Use DeepL API Free option in the translator settings so the plugin knows which API endpoint to use.
Some websites restrict access to their feeds or content depending on the client making the request. By setting a custom User-Agent and additional HTTP headers, the plugin can mimic a regular browser or pass required authorization data. This helps when importing from sources that block default WordPress requests, require API keys, or expect specific headers in order to deliver the feed correctly.
