How to Use Craigslist RSS for a WordPress Post

Install an RSS WordPress Plugin
1. Open a Web browser, and log into your WordPress website. Click 'Plugins' in the dashboard, then click 'Add New.'
2. Type 'news' to get a list of news-related plugins, or 'newspage' to find the NewsPage plugin used in this example. Many of these plugins are designed to show only the RSS feeds of other websites, like CNN, or specific topics. Look for one that allows you to select your own news feed sources.

3. Click 'Details' to learn how the plugin works. Click the 'Installation' tab to learn how to install it. Make notes if necessary. Close information window by clicking the 'X'.
4. Click 'Install Now.' This downloads the plugin to your website plugin folder.
5. Click 'Activate.'
Copy the Craigslist RSS Feed
6. Open a new browser window. Go to Craigslist and click on the page of ads you want to use as an RSS feed.
7. Scroll to the bottom of the page. There may be up to 100 ads on each page.
8. Right-click on 'RSS' on the bottom right corner of the page. Click 'Save Link As' or 'Save Target As,' depending on your Web browser. This copies the RSS feed link to your clipboard.
Configure your Plugin with the Feed
9. Click on your WordPress browser window. Click on the Plugin entry in the dashboard. In our example this is 'Newspage.'
10. Type the name you want to give to your link in the 'Name' field. Put the cursor on the 'Link URL' text field, and press 'Ctrl-V' to paste the Craigslist RSS feed. Type a topic name in the 'Topic' field.
11. Click the 'Active' menu, and select 'Active.' Rather than deleting this entry later, you can deactivate it and then activate it again according to your needs. 'Click 'Add New Record.'
12. Click on the Craigslist browser window and find another page of ads you want to use, then repeat these steps to put as many RSS feeds on a page as you like.
13. Change the order of your RSS feeds on the page by clicking 'Move Up' or 'Move Down' beside each entry.
Post the Feed on a Page or Blog
14. Go to any WordPress page or blog post where you want the RSS feed to appear. Click the 'Edit' button. Click the 'HTML' tab.
15. Type the code for the plugin into the place where you want the feed to appear. In our NewsPage example it is '[newspage].' Click 'Update.'
16. Click 'View This Page' to see your Craigslist RSS feed on the page. Hover your mouse over any entry to see the details. Click on any entry to be taken to the Craigslist ad.
