If I use the RSS widget with a feed.xml as follows
<rss xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" version="2.0">
<script/>
<channel>
<title>My Feed</title>
... missed out for clarity
<item>
<title>A post</title>
<author>Fred Bloggs</author>
... missed out for clarity
</item>
<title>Another post</title>
<author>John Smith</author>
... missed out for clarity
</item>... more posts with different authors
The RSS widget shows the author as My Feed for all posts in the feed, not Fred Bloggs or John Smith as appropriate for each post.
Note: If configure the widget to not show the author the name ‘My Feed’ is hidden as expected.
Is this behaviour by design?
Have I missed something in configuration?
Is it possible to set the author to be author of a post not, in effect, the owner of the whole feed
Perfect, works like a dream, thanks for the quick answer
Can I suggest it might be worth some note in the RSS Widget Post layout/help page to explain the Author is not the item author but the channel name, and maybe point to this code snippet.
