Google News Links
BY Elke Hinze ON September 01, 2011 3 comments
Google News Links is a plugin that allows the user to specify a Google news feed (rss) and then loads them into WordPress as links. The links can be loaded by manually running the plugin or setting it up on a cron.
Download Google News Links
To setup:
- Click Settings
- Click Google News Links
- Enter the link to the rss feed
- Select your category
- Click update
To populate manually, click “Populate Google News Links” under the settings menu.
Either install via your FTP software or by using the built in WordPress plugin installer to upload and activate the plugin.
Hi
I’ve got a google newsfeed entered:
http://news.google.com/news/section?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&csid=125a40c8224e7d35&ict=ln
but when I populate all I get is errors:
Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: http://news.google.com/news/section?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&csid=125a40c8224e7d35&ict=ln:1: parser error : EntityRef: expecting ‘;’ in /home/content/35/8972035/html/wp-content/plugins/google-news-links/index.php on line 92
Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: “alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” href=”http://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf in /home/content/35/8972035/html/wp-content/plugins/google-news-links/index.php on line 92
Any suggestions?
Thanks so much
Hi Sam, make sure you’re using a google news feed. I think the link you’re using is incorrect.
To get the correct link, go to Google, search for your topic, click news, and then scroll to the bottom and copy the link from the RSS link at the bottom of the page.
