Title: XML Feed Import Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # XML Feed Import * [Chief01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chief01/) * (@chief01) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-import/) * I am trying to import a series of XML feeds into my blog. They are from the job search operation Indeed. They have given me the API URL but I can’t figure out how to set it up in WordPress. Can anybody show me how to do this? any help would be much appreciated. Is there a plug-in or some code that I need to use? A bit of poetry would help greatly.

The source is Indeed – the job search engine. ( [http://www.indeed.com/](http://www.indeed.com/)) They provide an editable XML feed option and have given me an example of an XML request: [http://api.indeed.com/ads/apisearch?publisher=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&q=java&l=austin%2C+tx&sort=&radius=&st=&jt=&start=&limit=&fromage=&filter=&latlong=1&co=us&chnl=&userip=1.2.3.4&useragent=Mozilla/%2F4.0%28Firefox%29&v=2](http://api.indeed.com/ads/apisearch?publisher=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&q=java&l=austin%2C+tx&sort=&radius=&st=&jt=&start=&limit=&fromage=&filter=&latlong=1&co=us&chnl=&userip=1.2.3.4&useragent=Mozilla/%2F4.0%28Firefox%29&v=2). When I go to the URL, I get the following message: “This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below” w/ the document tree below in code. I’ve searched the forums and can’t find the key to getting this to work. I need to figure out how to make the request and import the data. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It’s a nice bit of code. Now I just have to figure out how to add a style sheet. Kill one daemon and up jumps another. (grins) Thanks for your help – any thoughts on how to call up the style sheet? * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-import/#post-1827714) * You mean to re-theme your site or …? Adding a style sheet to your site is generally as easy as modifying your theme. * If that’s what you want, you could make a new post here: [http://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates](http://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates) * Thread Starter [Chief01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chief01/) * (@chief01) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-import/#post-1827715) * Nope – the post displays without the style sheet of my theme =- which I want to keep and use.

I want to tie in an unstyled xml feed– similar to yours – into wordpress. When the feed updates, the post should update. * How did you solve the problem? * Thanks, * Ry * Thread Starter [Chief01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chief01/) * (@chief01) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-import/#post-1827942) * Rocky, Never did solve the problem It seems that the answer is beyond the capability of the people who work this forum. There should be a stock solution but the level of knowledge required is apparently above what is available here. * [tinus2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tinus2/) * (@tinus2) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-import/#post-1827946) * wouldn’t say that the knowledge required is above of what is avaialble here, people just don’t necessarily share what is most valuable. one member actually already did share (make a search for your topic), however it doesn’t fully work for me… * so, as i am also looking for a solution to the same issue, i would like to hire a programmer or anyone contacting me on wp to get the feed items properly mapped to wordpress fields. * [rockyrockwood](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rockyrockwood/) * (@rockyrockwood) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-import/#post-1827947) * Thanks guys – * Please let me know if you get any traction on this. * Ry * [tinus2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tinus2/) * (@tinus2) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-import/#post-1827948) * just found a plugin that does the job – wpallimport.com – still contemplating if i will buy or if i should hire a freelancer to do the same… * [rockyrockwood](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rockyrockwood/) * (@rockyrockwood) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-feed-import/#post-1827949) * Wow, this could be great. Why on earth would you hire someone? My only question is whether/how it could update posts vs republishing duplicate posts… also, can it delete a post if the item is removed from the feed. * Anyway, thank you so much for this. I don’t know how on earth you found this. I thought I’d googled everything.
