Adding RSS Feed | Drupal Training

What is RSS? RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It's an easy way for you to keep up with news and information that's important to you and your site. News content can be pulled directly into your site and placed on your site's homepage. This content is called a "feed."

Before you can place an RSS feed into a block and on a page, the RSS feed needs to be created.

CREATE RSS Feed:

From the D9 admin menu, go to:

Configuration > Web Services > Aggregator

Or the relative path is:

/admin/config/services/aggregator

Fill out the appropriate information, and make sure the URL for the RSS feed is in the correct format.

Select “Save”

Congratulations, you created an RSS feed and it should now show up on the Aggregator page.

The next step is to add the RSS feedback to your homepage.

ADD RSS Feed to your homepage.

Drupal 9 sites are configured to only have RSS feeds show up on the “Homepage” content type.

Navigate to your homepage and select “Edit”

Scroll down to the bottom of the placed Paragraph Types, and select “Embed Block Content”
