Hi,
My RSS feed is not displaying anywhere on my blog site. The RSS setting is switched on in SETTINGS > GENERAL > RSS and joomla and easyblog is fully updated.

Please advise on best option to resolve.

Thank you
Hi there,

Currently, that how it should currently as you are using Magazine menu items, and there are no RSS subscription button will shown in that particular view.

It will shown on some views only, that is on category, latest, tag and teamblog views only. Maybe i have miss-understand your requirement here, maybe you can provide us with more detail for better understanding.

Please advice.

Only one page is in Magazine view options. If you click on "News" that is using the theme "Bubbles"

Ah, I've found it. RSS is very very limited on themes and views. Changed the view from the menu and it now appears. Sadly it's all ugly looking and will need a lot of CSS redesign. When will you update your plugin to full support RSS on all?

Hi there,

Unfortunately it is not possible to achieve this yet in Easyblog as you need to do some modification your core files and your entry template view.

Having said that, if you require us to perform the customization for you, you can always request for a quote from us at https://crm.stackideas.com and select "Customizations" . Our sales person would be glad to send you a quote for the customizations that you have requested.

Thanks for your understanding.

So to confirm; there is no way to display the newest post to RSS and EasyBlog will show all posts in RSS instead?

Hi there,

Yes currently, that how it is, but if you subscribe RSS based on latest view, the newest blog created on your site will be shown on that RSS too. By the way, those RSS icons will shown on your Toolbar. You can clicked on this icon only http://take.ms/6mJUU.

Please advice.

Maybe best I explain what I'm trying to do. You may have a better suggestion for a workaround.
I want to display the latest post via RSS. The RSS feed will then goto MailChimp to email all my members the most recent post. MailChimp also posts to our social media channel also. So RSS displaying most recent is a must for me. Members clicking on Subscribe to blog not a good option for me, sadly.

Hi there,

Currently, you need to enable Easyblog toolbar on your site. There users can subscribe to your latest blog post.

I have enabled the toolbar and disable some of the settings on the toolbar so it looks nice on your site. If you wanted to modify them more further, you can modify them here .../components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/toolbar/default.php

Hope this help.

I really did not want the top bar, only the RSS icon and we only want the recent post, not all post. Little pointless having RSS if it's displaying everything.

I hope you understand my point. It was one of the main reason we use EasyBlog also.

Hey Gary,

Back in the days (with older versions of Firefox, Safari, IE and Chrome), an RSS icon would be rendered automatically on the address bar so user's could see this button.

However, with today's feed reader, you no longer need the RSS url. You could just copy the URL of your blog page and paste it into the feed reader. Because EasyBlog adds the following into the header of the page

[gist]
<link href="http://easyblog.stackideas.com/?format=feed&type=rss" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" />
[/gist]

You could try adding the URL http://easyblog.stackideas.com/ into your feed reader.
