# [Plugin: FeedWordPress] Importing custom fields?

 * Hi:
 * I’m not sure if feedwordpress can or can’t do that: import custom fields from
   source site and store them in custom fields in its site, example:
 * Custom field name from source site: [user avatar url]
    Data from that custom 
   field: [www.avatarurl.com]
 * and import them into imported posts using same (or different) custom field’s 
   names.
 * Is it possible?

 * I’m trying to do the exact same thing with some feeds. Have you found any good
   info on how to get this done?

 * I am using the plugin MORE FIELDS to define custom meta field, let me explain
   it by an example, this is the (rss) feed content;
    <item> <title>EXAMPLE TITLE
   </title> <description> BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA … </description> <link> [http://www.my-web-address-somewhere.com/10232/](http://www.my-web-address-somewhere.com/10232/)
   </link> <guid> [http://www.my-web-address-somewhere.com/10232/adasdasdsa/](http://www.my-web-address-somewhere.com/10232/adasdasdsa/)
   </guid> <pubDate>Thu, 15 Dec 2011 03:00:00 +0100</pubDate> </item>
 * And with the plugin MORE FIELDS I’ve made a custom meta box so that users when
   editing a post, if they want, they could enter an url, the key for the meta box
   is ‘webaddres’
 * In the settings of FeedWordpress, after adding the RSS feed, I went to “SYNDICATION”-
   > clicked on the name of the RSS feed -> went to Custom Feed Settings (for use
   in templates) -> added ‘webaddress’ as a KEY and in VALUE typed the following‘
   $(link)’
 * So now, if there is a LINK/URL in the rss feed, it automatically fills in the
   custom meta field of the post and publishes the post with the link/url.
 * I hope my explanation is clear, English is my third language, so please don’t
   pay attention to grammar/spelling 🙂

 * **CORRECTION ON**
    “SYNDICATION” -> clicked on the name of the RSS feed -> went
   to Custom Feed Settings (for use in templates) -> added ‘webaddress’ as a KEY
   and in VALUE typed the following ‘$(link)’
 * **SHOULD BE**
    “SYNDICATION” -> clicked on the name of the RSS feed -> **clicked
   on SYNDICATION **(second link on the top of the page, next to FEED) -> went to
   Custom Feed Settings (for use in templates) -> added ‘webaddress’ as a KEY and
   in VALUE typed the following ‘$(link)’
