Me:

how could I display a list of links using the WordPress opml in the body of a page?

chat.openai.com:

[opml url=”URL_OF_OPML-FILE”]

Replace “URL_OF_OPML_FILE” with the actual URL you copied in the previous step.
For example:

[opml url=”http://yourwebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/links.opml”]

  1. Save or update the page.
  2. Preview or visit the page to see the list of links displayed.
    WordPress will parse the OPML file and generate the necessary HTML to display the links.

Me:
Are you sure there is an opml shortcode? This didn’t work on my site

chat.openai.com:

I apologize for the confusion. You are correct that there is no built-in OPML shortcode in WordPress. I apologize for the incorrect information provided.

What was intriguing was the total confidence for the reply and the immediate apology, did it check to see if I was correct? It then went on to offer a plugin suggestion…

Listened #2 Seawilding – Scotland

On the west coast of Scotland, by the shores of Loch Craignish, a community has come together to help restore their marine environment.
When deciding on how to put something back, they identified two priority marine features they could do something about.This is a story about carbon capturing seagrass, water filtering oysters & the passionate people tirelessly working to restore both.

Really interesting listen especially about the extent of oyster beds and sea grass around the Scottish coast in fairly recent history.

In the 1790s, as many as 30 million were harvested a year from the Firth of Forth, just outside of Edinburgh.

By 1882, the Edinburgh Oyster Hall was down to just 55,000.
