With the RSS<\/em> block, you can display content from any site\u2019s RSS feed on your website. You can choose to display the Title, Author, Date, and Excerpt for each item in the feed. You can display the items in a list or as a grid in a set number of columns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. First, you need to know the URL of the RSS feed that you want to embed. Some websites display an orange icon \"\" with the link of the feed. You can usually find this icon together with social network icons.

        If you use an URL that can\u2019t be embedded, the block shows the message \u201cRSS Error: WP HTTP Error: A valid URL was not provided.\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
