 * Hi,
 * I have a multisite setup, 1 main site and 5 sub sites. I want to pull all posts
   from sub sites into main site and display just a single image of the posts on
   the Archives page of the main site. When user’s click the image I want them to
   be directed to the original post. Is this possible?

 * sure….first, make sure you are using the plugin on the main site. Then, get the
   rss feeds from each of the 5 sub site and add them to the feed admin page (so
   you would have 5 feed entries) – again, this is on the main site using the plugin.
   Then, assuming you are using the shortcode, go in and choose 1 item for each 
   feed for a total of 5 items. Put that shortode on the page you want and that 
   should give you 5 items with each item coming from the different sub sites. Assuming
   the RSS from these subsites includes an image, there will be an image there that
   people can click on which will take them to the subsite (to the specific page
   on that subsite where the article is located).

 * Thats great! Downloading plugin now.
 * So the rss feed for one of my subsite would be for e.g [http://www.mymainsite.com/subsite1/feed.xml](http://www.mymainsite.com/subsite1/feed.xml)?
 * Just to clarify, using the shortcode, I want to pull all post from each feed 
   but want to display a single image only of each post(no excerpt)
 * Just like this example –[example](http://institute101.com/archive/)

 * ok..what that site is doing is bringing in the posts as blog posts (and using
   the image as a featured image). So, you need to have a theme that handles featured
   images…if you do, then you can use my plugin (but use the feed to post admin)
   to bring in the feeds just like before (1 items from each of 5 feeds). Choose
   the option to have the image be a featured image (again, this is in the feed 
   to post admin page). At that point, the posts will become blog posts with a featured
   image – but then it’s up to your theme to do the rest of the work…like laying
   out the home page just using the featured image.

 * Am I correct about the feed url – [http://www.mymainsite.com/subsite1/feed.xml](http://www.mymainsite.com/subsite1/feed.xml)?

   working or not)

 * Great to hear… if you get this working then please consider that I’m on a campaign
   these days to get my plugin more awareness and one thing that helps is when people
   rate the plugin on the WordPress site…if you haven’t done that, consider taking
   a few moments by going here:

 * I will definitely rate your plugin, I have been looking for this type of solution
   for over a month now and have posted in many forums and nobody was able to help
   me, I will go back onto those forums and let everyone know about this plugin.

 * Ok so far I have activated the plugin in the main site only, then in the Feeds
   tab I have added a feed.
 * In the Feed to Post Settings tab I have checked the Check to Activate this Feature
   box.
 * I then added a new post and clicked FETCH NEW POSTS NOW button, but I am receiving
   the message “There were no new feed items to add.”
 * Am I missing something?

 * Also is it possible to achieve the layout in [example](http://institute101.com/archive/)
   by using the shortcodes feature rather than the themes featured image feature?

 * if you get that message, that means it has already brought in the posts….go to
   the manage posts tab…also, you can confirm by going to your posts tab for the
   blog

 * I don’t have a template that does what you’re looking for…there is one called
   boxes (and boxes with images) that you can try.
