How to Showcase Imported Posts on Your Website with Feedzy
Feedzy imports content by creating regular WordPress posts, pages, or any other post type in your WordPress instance. These imported items act exactly like manually created posts or pages and can be managed the same way.
Feedzy does not directly control how these imported posts are displayed on your website. Their placement and appearance depend entirely on your theme, WordPress widgets, and blocks you use.

📋 Using Traditional WordPress Block Widgets
You can use WordPress block widgets to showcase imported posts in different sections of your website, such as the sidebar or footer.
- 1. Go to Appearance > Widgets in your WordPress dashboard.
- 2. Add a Latest Posts block to a widget area (e.g., sidebar or footer).
- 3. Configure the block to display:
- Post Type: Select the post type you imported (e.g., Posts, Pages, or custom post types).
- Categories or Tags: Filter posts to show only imported ones using categories or tags.
- 4. Save your changes, and the widget will dynamically display your imported posts.
📄 Using WordPress Pages
Display imported posts on any page using the WordPress Block Editor.
- 1. Create a new page or edit an existing one.
- 2. Add the Latest Posts block in the Block Editor.
- 3. Configure its settings to filter posts by type, category, or tag to show only imported content.
- 4. Publish the page, and it will display your imported posts in a styled list or grid.
🔧 Using Feedzy Block or Shortcode
Feedzy blocks or shortcodes allow you to display imported content flexibly.
- 1. Add a Feedzy Block to a page, post, or widget area.
- 2. Select the imported posts as the source by filtering based on category or tag.
- 3. Alternatively, use a Feedzy shortcode:
- This shortcode uses your website’s RSS feed, which aggregates all your posts, including imported ones.

🔗 Using Your Website's RSS Feed
WordPress automatically generates an RSS feed at your site’s /feed URL. This feed includes all posts, including imported ones, and can be used to display content dynamically.
Example: https://yourwebsite.com/feed
Use this feed in:
- RSS widgets on your site.
- Third-party tools or applications to showcase your posts.
✨ Best Practices for Displaying Imported Posts
- Group Posts by Category or Tag: Assign specific categories or tags to imported content during the import process to make them easier to filter and showcase.
- Customize Your Theme: Use your theme’s homepage or blog layout options to prominently display imported posts.
- Use Page Builders: Drag and drop widgets or blocks with page builders like Elementor to create custom layouts for imported posts.
Imported posts are regular WordPress content and can be showcased anywhere using your theme’s built-in tools or Feedzy’s features.
