How to Import Events Using an RSS Feed

One way to bring events into your website is by using an RSS feed. This method is compatible with any RSS reader of your choice, making it a versatile option for managing event data.

Accessing the RSS Feed Option

You can find the RSS feed option:

1. When creating a new plug-in: During the setup process, look for the RSS feed configuration section.
2. When editing an existing plug-in: Navigate to your plug-in manager and select the plug-in you wish to modify. Locate the RSS feed option to make the necessary adjustments. Be sure to hit Save to save your new RSS option for this plug-in. 

Setting a Data Limit for Your RSS Export

When setting up your RSS feed, you will need to define a data limit. This determines how many events are included in the feed at one time. The available options are:

• No Limit: Includes all available events.
• Events for the Next 30 Days: Limits the feed to events occurring within the next month.
• Events for the Next 60 Days: Limits the feed to events occurring within the next two months.
• Events for the Next 180 Days: Limits the feed to events occurring within the next six months.

By setting a data limit, you can ensure the feed aligns with your website's needs and keeps your content up-to-date.
