How to embed a RSS2 feed which allows content from blogs and other syndicated sources to be surfaced on your Fresco page.
How to edit
Getting started

- Enter a publicly accessible RSS 2.0 feed URL
- This must be an external URL such as https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml
- Select number of items to display (1-20)
- Select number of items per row (1-4)
- Save and Exit to review the Feed on your draft page
How it displays
- The default display style is Portrait Card with no image
- Title, Date and Summary are displayed
- The title links to the source content
- Feed item Summary descriptions are truncated at 220 characters as necessary and followed by an ellipsis
- Data refreshes from the source feed once every 24 hours
Error handling
If the feed cannot be retrieved, Editors are shown a message in the page preview:
This RSS feed could not be loaded. Please check that the feed URL is valid and publicly accessible
If the feed is valid but contains no items, Editors are shown a message in the page preview:
This RSS feed is valid but does not currently contain any items
In both of the above scenarios website visitors are shown a simple fallback message:
Latest posts are currently unavailable
