Now I don’t know if this is possible, but I used the rss polling plug-in and I have an RSS feed. However, I want that feed to post in a specific topic rather than a category. Is it possible to make a post in a topic and just add to the thread?

The discussion revolves around the RSS Polling plugin’s functionality for posting RSS feed items into a specific topic rather than creating new topics. CaptainZac asks if it’s possible to post feed items into an existing topic, and simon confirms that while technically feasible, this feature is not planned for the plugin. CaptainZac inquires about tutorials to implement this, and simon suggests developing a new plugin, referencing the RSS Polling plugin’s code as a starting point. Additionally, Whiskey_Victor_LLC reports issues with RSS feeds not posting into specified categories, despite appearing as topics, and shares screenshots to illustrate the problem.
No, the plugin is setup to create a new topic for each feed item. Creating a new post in a predefined topic from an RSS feed would be technically possible, but it’s not a feature that is going to be added to the RSS Polling plugin.
Is there a tutorial that I can follow to add that function?
Thanks for your response!
I don’t think so. It would require a completely new plugin. That plugin would need to parse an RSS feed and add create posts for each feed item in a pre-defined topic. The RSS Polling plugin’s code would be a good starting point. It would show you how to parse an RSS feed.
