wordpress: wp-o-matic or other plugins like this dont show the link form the rss feed - GoFuckYourself.com

when you have an rss feed there are these <link> and <guid> tags with the link that is supposed to be in the post when you pull posts from the rss feed. I use wp-o-matic to pull the feeds but tried other ones, all with this same issue. How can i show that link properly in the posts i pull from rss feeds?? Especially with sponsor rss feeds, with ref links that suppose to link the post title to the sponsor, but dont do it.... I checked out wordpress support forums: There were several people asking this but not 1 answer.

I believe i have to change the post code, like put some code surrounding the title tag of the post. The wp-o-matic site says i have to do a href 'permalink' to show the original site that made the post but when i do that it just links to a permalink on my own blog for the post... im completely lost here i thought it would be simple

Im not sure if its the same addon you are talking of but i think there is a option in settings for the feed to "Link to this Domain" or to link to the AUTHORs, im suspecting you want to set that too "Link to this Domain.

I'm not sure if its the same plugin i am thinking or not, but if so thats what it is.

Somewhere in the plugin it has he code to print the rss feed link for each populated post.

Right, i just checked a couple old wp installs i had and it was feedwordpress that allows you to set the post urls.

i not only suck at coding, i also suck alot more than i eventually thought at understanding code

I hate to ask this but i hope its not too much trouble to give me noob step by step instructions if you still know what exaclty i have to change into what code, and even in what file! (yes, it's that bad with me... i assume its the main wpomatic.php file?)
