Is there a way to make a block in vbulletin 4.0.6 that would bring in at least the first 5 posts of an rss feed from a wordpress blog?

I know to create a Custom HTML/PHP Block in AdminCP > Forums & Moderators > Forum Block Manager. But I am not sure how to get the feed to work or how to limit it to 5 posts or make the lines shorter/longer.

most wordpress blogs have rss, so yes you could grab 5 or 10 or what ever and post it to a thread, then use a block to show those threads

you would enable rss in admincp then when you add feeds it will let you grab 5 at a time

That is one way to do this. But it takes people to the "new post" in the forum itself, rather than to the post at wordpress...it also shows me as the author . . .

Is there a way to take a feed directly into a block, but only pull a few posts?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
