# FeedWordPress Dummy

 * I swear I’ve spent an hour or two trying to get FeedWordPress to work and I’m
   not getting it.
    - It installs like a champ.
    - I can add RSS feeds.
    - It sees the feeds and says it can update from them.
 * But I can’t see any posts. I assume that it will create posts in my dashboard
   or on my list of posts, but I’m… a complete idiot or something.
 * I can’t find anything that tells me where the posts should be, so maybe I’m just
   missing something. I don’t get error messages, I just don’t get… anything. It’s
   like I’ve got the car fueled up and in drive but I’m not getting anywhere.
 * Can someone help me understand what I’m doing wrong?
 * Thanks,
 * -James

 * Hardly, since you describe only whats working. If you press update all, does 
   it go though all the feeds and shows you if there are new posts?
 * And yes, you should see posts under Manages/posts

 * I was having the same problem, but got it to work by changing the default setting
   for “Publication” under Settings -> Syndication (i.e. NOT the big “Syndication”
   at the bottom of the menu!). I don’t know why, but that did the trick – maybe
   there is not corresponding setting in WordPress that would allow you to hold 
   a post for review? Either of the other three settings worked fine for me, just
   not the default.

 * Thanks for any help.
 * Re: FeedWordpress New Installations
    I’m trying to set this: Syndicated Link 
   category: “my keyword” News
 * And am stuck here:
    Step 5 from [http://projects.radgeek.com/feedwordpress/install/](http://projects.radgeek.com/feedwordpress/install/)
   Once the plugin is activated, you can go to Syndication –> Options and set (1)
   the link category that FeedWordPress will syndicate links from (by default, “
   Contributors”), and (2) whether FeedWordPress will use automatic updates or only
   manual updates. There is NO “_Syndication -> Options_” in my WordPress version
   2.7.1 anywhere I can find. There is a “Syndication ->Settings” but this goes 
   to the following:
 * “_The first set of options in “Syndication Settings” contains this:
    1. Syndicated
   Link category: (empty drop down box) that can’t be changed.
   “
 * So, I’m stopped with no where to go. So far, my searching on the internet has
   not led me to an answer. Any help is really appreciated.
