Conversion patterns
Practical patterns for turning Twitter/X threads, newsletters, sitemaps, and generic webpages into RSS feeds you can subscribe to or import into WordPress.
Looking for a feed on a specific platform? Browse the platform directory.
X / Twitter
X removed its native RSS support in 2013. Public profiles, lists, and search queries can still be turned into RSS via third-party converters. Most rely on read-only scraping and rate-limit aggressively, so polling intervals matter.
Email newsletters
Most newsletters publish a web archive with an RSS feed; the trick is finding it. For newsletters that have no archive, use an inbox-to-RSS bridge: subscribe with a unique address that exposes incoming mail as a feed.
Sitemaps
Sitemaps already list every URL on a site with lastmod timestamps; they are the most reliable signal of new content when a site has no RSS feed. Converters wrap the sitemap into an RSS feed sorted by lastmod, giving you a feed of new pages as they're published.
Generic webpage
When a page lists items (a news index, a blog archive, a product listing) but has no feed, a CSS-selector-based converter can extract structured items and turn them into RSS. Stable selectors and a low polling interval are the difference between a useful feed and a flaky one.
Walled gardens
Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn either never exposed RSS or removed it. Each platform page documents the current state, what works in 2026, and what to use instead when there's no first-party feed.
Bring it into WordPress
Whether the feed comes from a native source or a converter, Aggregator imports it into your WordPress site with full control over filtering, image handling, audio enclosures, and display layout.
