You must first provide a title for this feed source, followed by the RSS feed URL.

Then, scroll down a little to the ‘Feed to Post’ section. Again, it would help if you chose a post type for imported feed items here.

The plugin will import posts as draughts by default. However, you can change it to publish if you want.

Remember to check the box next to the ‘Force full content’ option. By selecting this option, WP RSS Aggregator will be able to retrieve the full text of posts.

Following that, you must configure the ‘Feed to post images’ section. This is where you configure your Autoblog’s image handling.
