Simple add the following parameter to your feed’s URL: custom_tags=custom_field_name1[,custom_field_name1,…]
For example, if your WordPress posts have views and thumb custom fields, you can display them as tags in the RSS feed using this URL: http://www.yourblog.com/feed/?custom_tags=views,thumb

I might not have been clear, sorry. I’m pullling in a 3rd party feed and it’s in that format. I want to set the ‘guid’ of the new post to the <event id=”1234567″> attribute. I can’t use event:id->guid – it doesn’t seem to work.
What would I need to add to the ‘Custom Fileds’ area in the feed settings?

In “Custom fields”:
event->event
In “PHP code <?php .. ?>”:

No joy with this. should the ‘guid’ appear in the custom fields area after the post has been inserted? As it’s not showing there.

Post GUID is not a custom field. It’s an attribute of the post which identifies its uniqueness. If you want a custom field called ‘guid’, you should do it like this:

The only question is why?

Yes, on reflection, maybe it doesn’t need to be ‘GUID’ therefore I’ve changed it to be a custom field as I would like to know the ‘event_id’
Custom fields : event->event
PHP : $post[‘custom_fields’][‘event_id’] = $post[‘custom_fields_attr’][‘event’][‘id’];
I’ve added ‘EVENT’ to the recognised tags also. The custom field event_id is there now but it’s still giving me a blank value.
