Hi guys, I have a Wordpress Site where I am releasing my chapter releases for my work 'Spirit God Shura'. The link is here. https://spiritgodshura35.wordpress.com.

I want to add this site to the Automatic Feed System for the regular update of my releases on the WLN Updates. Please help me out... Here's the link to my RSS Feed...

Ok, added. Releases should be automatically updated in the future.

FWIW, you don't seem to have a tag for chapter releases specific to this series, which can be problematic if you eventually decide to create additional original works, so the chapter inference mechanism is rather narrow as a precaution. Only items which:

  • Have a title that starts with the exact string Chapter
  • Are tagged Chapters and nothing else.

will be treated as releases for the 'Spirit God Shura' series. This is mostly precautionary as most sites I've seen that start out with the intension of hosting a single story, and later add more content tend to preface the later content with {Other story NNN} Chapter: or similar. This way, those other series won't potentially get treated as releases for the 'Spirit God Shura' series.

The best possible solution here is for you to create some new tags in wordpress. An ideal structure is to have a tag for chapter releases (which helps disambiguate between chapter content and things like author commentary, rants, etc...), and a tag for each series. That way, the feed parsing system can simply look at those two tags to definitively know if a release is chapter content, and which series it's for.

Additionally, I'm currently assuming that a colon (:) is the split between the chapter number and the chapter title. Anything after the colon in the post title will wind up in the "Extra" field of the chapter release entry.

I can work around most blog structures, but the above would be wonderful, and much more tolerant of things like post title variation, etc...

Thank you... And all my releases till now had been according to what you have described and it will be the same way in the future as well. With this I don't have to update the series each and every time I release the new chapter. Thank you for this awesome platform that boosted my series to the level where there are around 500 regular readers for my series!~
