Testing the WordPress RSS Feeder Plugin
Jun 1st
I recently had a bout with a deranged hacker who found deep satisfaction in breaking down the back door of my Joomla! website. It was my own negligence that allowed it to happen; I hadn’t done a security update to the plugins installed on my site in oh…I don’t know, 2 years. /shrug
After much frustration and an unsuccessful attempt at recovering my blog posts from the past few years, I decided to throw it out and start from scratch with a fresh install of WordPress on my domain.?
Given that I am more active on the UF COE Community site than my personal domain these days, I thought it would be great to be able to pull the content I post in the Community over to my new WP blog. It looks like the RSS Feeder plugin by a development group called WPXpand might be just the way to do it.
So this post is a go at it. I think I have configured the plugin properly on the WordPress site to pull from this here blog, but I never get anything right the first time.
