insert rss feed into page (illustratr theme)
-
Hey,
I am trying to insert a RSS feed into one fixed page on my blog. As my theme is Illustratr the widget option would only allow the RSS feed to appear in the footer. I am trying to include the RSS feed into a page though. How can I make that work?
Thanks a lot in advance.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
The Feeds support page says:
Every WordPress.com blog has multiple feeds. The main content feed can be accessed by adding /feed/ to your blog’s URL.
The site https://carenmiesenberger.wordpress.com/ evidently doesn’t have any published posts. Therefore its main RSS feed, https://carenmiesenberger.wordpress.com/feed/, shows no posts.
Adding a link to a feed in the content of a page would be no different than adding a link to another URL in the content of a page. See the Links support page for instructions on creating text links in a post or page editor.

You could also use the RSS shortcode to embed a feed directly to a page:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/rss-shortcode/
Hope that helps!

Hey everyone,
thank you so much for your replies. I fear that I didn’t ask correctly, sorry!I am not trying to embed posts from my wordpress page to another page but the other way around: I have a fixed page (called “Portfolio”) on my wordpress page and I want to include the RSS feed of another page (that is not hosted by wordpress) into it. When I use the wordpress RSS widget I can only embed the feed into the footer (as that is what’s possible with my theme, Illustratr).
Is there a way of embedding an RSS feed into my “portfolio”-page?
Thank you so much!

Thanks for clarifying, @carenmiesenberger! :) The RSS shortcode can be added directly to a post or page and should work for your needs.
Here’s an example of what the shortcode would look like if you wanted to embed the feed from the WordPress.com blog:
[rss url=http://en.blog.wordpress.com/feed]In the above shortcode, you’d replace http://en.blog.wordpress.com/feed with the URL to your specific feed.

Thank you so much, @siobhyb! I checked it and it worked perfectly fine!
Is there a way of including photos into it as well?
My portfolio looks like this on the portfolio provider page: https://carenmiesenberger.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/bildschirmfoto-2016-11-02-um-22-43-24.png
I am basically trying to embed the appearance of that very page into my wordpress page, just as here (you’ve got to scroll down): https://www.freischreiber.de/profiles/caren-miesenberger/
does wordpress provide that? thank you so much!

It’s not possible to include photos using the RSS shortcode.
Another option could be for you to activate the Portfolio content type and manually copy/paste the content for your portfolio items over. Illustratr will then display portfolio items in the style you see on its demo site here:
https://illustratrdemo.wordpress.com/portfolio/
Hope that helps to clarify your options!
