Enable RSS feeds and subscriptions in Posts

You can display an RSS icon that users can click to subscribe to new Posts that are displayed on an element on a site page. This process is the same to turn on the Subscription "bell" icon.

These RSS feeds will also allow you to use third-party services, such as dlvr.it, in order to post items on social media.

To display an RSS icon or the Subscription option for a Posts element, take the following steps:

Step 1: Set a default board post page (DBPP)

• Create and set a default board post page for the Board the element is set to display on before adjusting the RSS settings.
• Set the page to be hidden from site navigation if you don't want it to appear as a clickable link.

Step 2: Enable RSS feed in the Post element

• Go to the Posts module. 

  

• Open up the folder that contains the Board, hover over the action menu, and click Settings to open up the Board settings.

  

• Select the Enable RSS checkbox.

• There is also a checkbox for Enable Subscriptions if you would like to select that option.

  

Step 3: Configure settings in Post Element settings 

In Composer > Pages, go to an element that displays posts from this Board.

• Open the Post Element settings, and in the Controls settings, select the Display alert icons checkbox.

  

• Once you save your configurations, the RSS and subscription bell icons will appear on the page, above the Posts element.
