K2 Items to RSS feed for Newsletter was created by Christina Bardelli
I need my K2 Items to feed the most recent items into a RSS feed newsletter. It used to work, but it doesn't now.

I have tried putting an umbrella category for this, but the newsletter will say "no recent articles" The RSS link only provides a link to the home page of the website.

Here are the RSS links I have tried, I just can't find how to do this and need help.

employmentlawweekly.com/index.php?format=feed&type=rss

These links are wrong you need the feed of the umbrella category.
Just add ?format=feed&type=rss as a suffix to that URL.

That's not working either

Are K2 items able to be an RSS feed? I need the items (articles) to be fed into a newsletter

I found a partial solution but still need to know how to pull the most recent articles - because this isn't doing it

Any solution how to pull the most recent articles?

the link you are trying to use is a com_content link which is unrelated to K2.
K2 uses Joomla!'s feed functionality so the method to get a feed is completely the same.

As previously mentioned - the RSS doesn't work until I put in the K2 portion.

I really need help figuring this out. I have searched all over and nothing works.

Is there anyone that is willing to help on this???

This is how Joomla!'s feeds work.
They produce the feed of the current menu item. This is not specific K2 functionality.

Take a look at these links
domain.com/k2-menu-item/?format=feed or,
domain.com/inde.php?MENU_ITEM_URL&format=feed
www.joomlaworks.net/blog?format=feed

I understand.

I think there is something I am really missing and need help to make it work.

Look @ this page, see how it only shows home and not a newsfeed?

employmentlawweekly.com/inde.php?MENU_ITEM_URL&format=feed

The issue is, I didn't build the site and am trying to figure out what happened, maybe there is something I am missing in the back end.

All I know is if it just says "Home" on the feed, this will not work for how we need the newsletter.

Sorry for all the back and forth, I am just trying to get this fixed once and for all.

Replace the menu_item_url with the actual url.
If your menu item (as home) contains only modules then nothing will show in the feeds.
You need a menu item which is of the K2 Categories type and holds content.

Ok...

That clarifies it a bit more.

The articles on the website are created as Items... If I create a parent category for them and make that it's own page, but a hidden menu item - that should work?
