Is there a way to make the rss description so that it is turned into the same url as the rss title?

Hi Kevin,

Do you mean, you want to make the feed description as a link so that it is clickable?

Thanks,
Aakash

Yes that is correct.

Can you please give me an update regarding the RSS description being clickable as well just like the title?

Hi Kevin,

To make any advanced changes like this, the plugin provides helper functions to play manipulate the output as needed.

You might need to use PHP code to do that like in the example below.

Actions and Filters

If you are comfortable with that, you can use that hook and wrap the description with an “a” tag. Otherwise let me know, I will write that for you. I can share you the code by tomorrow after testing.

Thanks,

If you could please write that for me, that would be great. Thank you for the reply.

Hi Kevin,

I’ll add this option in the next version.

For now add below PHP code to your website’s function.php file or using a custom plugin – https://www.aakashweb.com/articles/create-site-specific-wordpress-plugin-custom-code/

function my_srr_modifier( $html, $feed_url, $feed_item ){
    $url = $feed_item->get_link();
    $html[ 'description' ] = '<a href="' . esc_attr( $url ) . '" target="_blank">' . $html[ 'description' ] . '</a>';
    return $html;
}

add_filter( 'srr_mod_item_html', 'my_srr_modifier', 10, 3 );

Thanks,
Aakash
