Hey Leo,
would you mind putting information on how to format the incoming posts in the `readme.md`
So they don’t show up as “Something **something” and then almost no body content?**
Can’t seem to figure it out

This was why I stopped using it. Made the posts look terrible and broken up.

Did you learn how to format the posts through the RegEx? I have no idea - I asked developer but got not answer

Nope. Never got a reply on it either.

Have you found a work around though Zapier or IFTTT or API/Webhooks?
I used IFTTT \> Google Alerts as RSS \> Slack and they appear clean and perfectly but only because IFTTT lets you format. Trying to replicate this…

There’s a guide on Zapier here:

> Want to use Discourse Webhooks to trigger a task via [Zapier](https://zapier.com)? Let’s get started! bulb Tip: Zapier now has an [official Discourse integration](https://zapier.com/apps/discourse/integrations) with built-in triggers and actions (e.g. “New Post”, “Create Post”). For common use cases, this is simpler than configuring generic webhooks manually. The guide below covers the manual webhook approach, which gives you more flexibility and access to all Discourse event types. Zapier requires a trigger and an action. In this howto the trigger…

Now it works great! Thanks OP!!
I had some trouble getting it working. So I made some changes to the plugins code that is shared from my GitHub
[https://github.com/gregruthenbeck/discourse-rss-poster](https://github.com/gregruthenbeck/discourse-rss-poster)
It’s only been tested against the latest beta version [2.3.0.beta9 +552](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/compare/ca6c919299da715c6405e97d432ba702ab4b28bf...tests-passed)
It now produces nicely formatted posts automatically (I’m using it to create posts from RSS feeds from StackOverflow, Reddit, and GoogleAlerts).

I think I’ve fixed this. Trouble was that the RSS Feed’s HTML was encoded and so Discourse displayed the escaped code, not the formatted post. Screenshot attached

We have been using it during more than a year and works very well.

> Status update. @xrav3nz developed this Discourse Wellfed plugin that I have been testing in the past two weeks. Importing RSS feeds from different sources and into different categories works very well! You can define the frequency, and in theory you can add dozens of feeds without hogging your server. The only point pending is assigning the topics created to the right user. In fact, this seems to be a problem in Discourse and not in this plugin. The topics created via RSS poll are assigned t…

Bonjour Greg, le plugin RSS Poster fonctionnait sur une instance Discourse créée l’année dernière. Récemment, je l’ai migré vers une autre instance, sur une URL différente. Apparemment, le plugin continuait de fonctionner, car il a récupéré les flux RSS dès son installation. Cependant, je n’ai pas pu accéder à ses paramètres, et la page des plugins dans le panneau d’administration renvoyait une liste vide. Auriez-vous une idée de ce qui pourrait causer cela ?

> What would you like done? Would like to have plugin created to allow for an RSS feed to create a post. This would be very similar to what is already built into VBulletin. There are really two main requirements: An RSS feed gets assigned a username, and posts when updated. For instance, if pulling a feed from “Blog A”, it’ll be posted by user “User A”. A regex way for editing the title/post, so we can use regular expression to modify what is being posted. With this, you can for example…
N’est **pas compatible** avec la version 3.1.0.beta3 (au moment de la publication de ce message)

J’utilise ceci à la place, et cela semble fonctionner correctement 🙂
