The method isn\u2019t without disadvantages. <strong>It doesn\u2019t work on pages. It sometimes doesn\u2019t work at all. Wix\u2019 RSS feeds are limited to 20 of your latest posts<\/strong>.

It does.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]First, you need to connect your blog to an RSS feed. That part is as simple as adding an RSS button anywhere on your Wix website. <strong>From the Wix Editor, navigate to <em>Add &gt; Blog &gt; RSS Button<\/em>, choose the one you like, and place it, for example, in the website\u2019s header.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;]<div class=\"qodef-single-image-holder   qodef-has-border \">\n    <div class=\"qodef-si-inner\" >\n                                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"374\" src=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Wix-Editor.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Wix Editor\" srcset=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Wix-Editor.jpg 700w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Wix-Editor-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Wix-Editor-620x331.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/>                        <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;38px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Next, you should log out of Wix, navigate to your website like a regular visitor, and click on the RSS button.
