 * First, I love this plugin! Very well done.
 * I have one, hopefully, simple question. I want to pull and display the source
   name for the post as part of the meta data for the post on the homepage. What
   should I call or code should I use to grab the source name for that link (e.g.
   Forbes or Mashable)?
 * The site is at wire2.brandfailure.com.
 * Thank you!

 * Are you using the shortcode or feed to post? If it’s the Feed to Post, you need
   to check off the boxes here (note, this only works if the information is in the
   RSS feed)

 * Hey Allen, thanks for the quick response. I’m using Feed to Post. I’ve played
   with that option, but I want to display the source name (if available in the 
   feed) in the post’s meta data on the home page. So I know I’ll have to add some
   code, I just don’t know how to call the source name.
 * Hopefully this pic explains better what I’m referring to: [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17349363/Capture.PNG](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17349363/Capture.PNG)
 * Again, thank you very much for the help!

 * Well, here is the problem…the feed to post will put the information into a normal
   blog post and then it’s up to your WordPress theme as to what it shows on the
   home page. So, I would first go into the post itself and see if the information
   you want is there. If it is there, then this needs to be adjusted using you theme
   settings (e.g. how much information to show on the home page). If it is not there,
   then that’s a different problem. Check that out first, then let me know.

 * I just checked the newest, scheduled posts and the source name and link is embedded
   in the post itself.
