Hello is it possible to include the name of a feed source and append to the Custom Feed Title?

Custom Post Title: Feed Source

So if someone subscribes to the custom feed they also see credit to the original site.

Thanks!

Hi @malmac

Thank you for reaching out!

Yes, it’s possible to include the name of a feed source and append it to the custom feed title. We can achieve this using a custom code snippet, but the exact implementation depends on your current setup and configuration.

Could you please share your system information with us? This will help us better understand your setup and provide you with a more accurate solution.

Once we have that, we’ll guide you further on how to implement this customization.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hi @malmac

Thanks for getting back to us and providing your system information.

Please allow me some time to consult with our development team to provide the appropriate custom code snippets for your needs. I’ll get back to you as soon as I have the details.

Thank you for your patience.

Hi @malmac

Thank you for your patience, and we apologize for the slower response during the holiday season.

You can use the following code snippet to include the feed source name in the title:
```
add_filter('wprss_populate_post_data', function (array $data) {
    // Retrieve the feed ID from the global variable
    $feed_ID = isset($GLOBALS['wprss_importing_feed']) ? $GLOBALS['wprss_importing_feed'] : null;

    // Get the feed source name or use a fallback
    $source_name = $feed_ID ? get_the_title($feed_ID) : 'Unknown Source';

    // Update the post title with the source name
    $data['post_title'] = $data['post_title'] . ' : ' . $source_name;

    return $data;
});
```
The easiest way to add this code is by using the Code Snippets plugin.

After implementing the code, you will need to delete the previously imported items and re-import them. Please note that the plugin will only import items that are still available in the RSS feed.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions or run into any issues.

Hello, Yes this worked, but isn’t quite what I was looking for.

I dont want to change how this is displayed on the web page. I want the source to appear in the customRSS feed: https://quakernews.malcolmmcatee.com/wprss

I don’t want the source to appear twice on the web page.

I do want it to look like this in a Feed Reader

I want to change the Custom RSS Feed.

Hi @malmac

Thank you for clarifying. Just to confirm, you would like to modify the title specifically in your Custom RSS feed (/wprss) without affecting how it is imported or displayed on your website. Is that correct?

yes that’s correct.

Hi @malmac

Thank you for your patience while we looked into this matter.

I’ve received feedback from our development team, and unfortunately, there is currently no hook or filter available to modify the Custom RSS feed (/wprss).

However, we recognize how valuable this option is, and we plan to include it in Aggregator 5.0.

Thanks again for your understanding and patience.
