How to use start date in rss feed question?

[V.A.]

Hi last time i used the wrong account for support.

What I would like is on the site http://origine.digitaalcoach.nl/ (see screenshot) a rss display with start-date and not the publish date of wordpress.
I used the code from rss tutorial of your site and put it in the function.php on the bottom of the site http://www.veilingagenda.nl the site where the plugin events calendar pro is installed.

I also pasted the code into the function.php of the site where the rss feed should be displayed. http://origine.digitaalcoach.nl/ But did,t not work either

Why does this not work and could you please provide me with a correct code and where to put it.

If you need other iformation let me know.

kind regards,
ronald

Hi Ronald, welcome back to the forums!

So sorry for the trouble here with adding the start date to the RSS feed.

I think it’s worth noting the warning that is stated in the tutorial for that snippet:

Important Note: RSS feeds do not offer support for event fields (like start and end times), and probably never will. The following event fields are based upon a draft RSS event spec that was last updated in 2002. The draft appears abandoned, and even the purl.org namespace now 404s. Given the age of RSS and that it is widely being replaced by newer formats, it is likely that no official event namespace will ever come to RSS. Thus adding these fields has a fairly limited utility, and they will not be viewable or of much use in many RSS readers.

In other words, it’s likely that the RSS method is simply unable to support the snippet any longer, despite the fact that you have placed the snippet correctly in your site’s functions.php file.

If your other site is managed in WordPress and is also using The Events Calendar, one thing you might want to consider is using our Event Aggregator tool (which is already bundled in The Events Calendar) to automatically sync events from one site to another.

Sorry for the bad news, but does this at least help answer your question? Please let me know.

Thanks,
Geoff
