    I’m trying to make an iframe that pulls an rss feed of my latest posts from my journal. I don’t want it to have the blue box at the top, or the search bar on the side, but I can’t seem to figute out how to edit/remove those.

    I did read the article that was posted about this (I think??) but I really don’t understand what was being said about changing the file. Do I change the php in the file to what was posted? Do I add that code to the exsisting code?

    Any help you guys have would be greatly appreciated!

  • Using feed and it displays the “blue box” and search bar? I don’t believe it.
    You are either not using the RSS feed but something else or you don’t know what the feeds are.

    Really? Last time I checked, the wp-rss.php was the file you looked at for the rss feeds…

    if that’s not what it is supposed to be displaying, then there’s definitely a problem, because that’s totally unaltered.

    Please don’t get an attitude with people that are asking questions. We’re asking to learn, because we obviously don’t understand something.

    The screen shot you provided is showing us what your browser (in this case) is displaying for the feed. The “blue box” and sidebar with the search form and such, all of these are components generated by the client application reading the feed. It is not a part of the syndication scripts in WordPress, which generate standard XML in the syndication formats they are designed around.

    Ok so simple answer is I can’t. Thank you for explaining that.

    I know I have seen sites that have news stories that display in an iframe, but it acts like an rss feed, with the title/date/excerpt/read more link but it’s all displayed in the same color scheme as the rest of their site, which made me think it was an rss file customized with a css link. Do you have any idea of how I would go about getting that, or something similar? Would that be something I’d have to install a content management system for (like phpnuke?)

    Thank you for all the help Kafkaesqui!

    That is exactly what I am wanting to do, *but* I need it to be something that isn’t being pulled through another site. Any ideas?

    ok I think I figured out what I need to do, and I’m going to try and figure out how to do it.

    Just for anyone else who reads this and is trying to figure out how to do it, I found a site – http://www.feedforall.com/free-php-script.htm – that will work.
