What's the difference between Feedzy content and full post content?

In this guide, we'll analyze in detail what's the difference between the content and full-post content when using the feed to post feature of Feedzy. Feedzy works with XML sources that can be validated on this website and processed by the Simple Pie library (check it here).

The content

The content can be fetched by using the [#item_content] magic tag in the Item Content field of the import wizard.

In this case, the plugin will extract the content available in the source URL in the same way as the Simple Pie library does. Below is an example.

Source: http://rssfeeds.webmd.com/rss/rss.aspx?RSSSource=RSS_PUBLIC

    <title>Public Favors Masks in Classrooms but Balks at Vaccine Mandates </title>
    <description>With schools reopening, poll finds two-thirds of parents support mandating masks for unvaccinated students, but resistance to vaccinating students remains high. “My child is not a test dummy,” one Black parent told pollsters. Some parents deferred the decision to their teens.</description>

The full post content

The full content can be fetched by using the [#item_full_content] magic tag in the Item Content field of the import wizard.

📝 Note: Please note this tag is available starting with the Developer plan of the plugin.

In this case, during the import, the Feedzy service will visit the URLs of all items and parse the content directly from the website.

In the example below, you see the <item> node, so this link will be visited by Feedzy:

 <link><a href="https://www.webmd.com/vaccines/covid-19-vaccine/news/20210811/public-favors-masks-in-classrooms-but-balks-at-mandating-vaccinations-for-students?src=RSS_PUBLIC">https://www.webmd.com/vaccines/covid-19-vaccine/news/20210811/public-favors-masks-in-classrooms-but-balks-at-mandating-vaccinations-for-students?src=RSS_PUBLIC</a></link>
