The RSS Post Importer plugin provides a dashboard where you can manage all your RSS feeds. To find it, navigate to Admin Dashboard → CM RSS Post Importer Pro → RSS Feeds.

Let's take a closer look at its elements.

Basic Controls

Above the table you can see the following items:

1. Add New RSS Feed - Click this button to add new RSS feed.
2. Status Filters - Filter your RSS feeds to see published or trashed feeds.
3. Bulk Actions - Choose between editing or moving RSS feeds to trash in bulk.
4. RSS Filters - Filter your RSS feeds by date or by categories.
5. Search RSS Feeds - Search for RSS feeds by their titles.
6. Amount of RSS Feeds - This counter shows how many RSS feeds you have.

Table Columns

In the table below, you can see columns with the following elements:

1. Bulk actions checkbox - Allows you to select needed RSS feeds to perform bulk actions with them.
2. Title - Here you can see a title of each RSS feed. This column also allows you to sort RSS feeds by titles.
3. Categories - Allows to see post categories that RSS feeds are assigned to.
4. RSS Feed URL - Here you can see URLs of RSS feeds you added.
5. Status - This column allows to activate or pause RSS feeds.
6. Next Run - This column shows you the schedule time when the next fetch is going to be.
7. Last Run Status - This column shows you the time last fetch was made. Here you can also click the button Run Now to manually initiate the fetch process to run it right now, instead of the scheduled time.
8. Processing Log (last 5 entries) - Here you can see a log of last 5 entries of the fetch process.
9. Processing info - This section shows you the fetch details. Let's look at this table in more detail.

Processing Info Section

Here is the info you can see in the processing info section for each RSS feed:

1. fetched - How many items were fetched in total.
2. unprocessed - How many items are not processed yet from those that were fetched.
3. imported last time - How many posts were created during the last import.
4. total imported - How many posts were created in total based on fetched and processed RSS items.
5. status - Shows if the RSS feed is valid and the import process is active.

If the status is red, it means that something is wrong with the RSS feed. In this case, the RSS feed is automatically paused and you can manually run the fetch.

To see the error details, click the button Edit for the RSS feed.
