RSS Feed Retriever

By Travis

Description

This plugin fetches an RSS feed, or multiple feeds, and displays them in an unordered list using shortcode.

It allows you to fetch as many RSS feeds as you want and display them wherever you want using shortcode, including text widgets. You can control whether to display the entire RSS feeds content or just an excerpt, how many words display in the excerpt, and whether it has a Read more link or not.

This lightweight and fast plugin is easy to set up and can fetch thumbnail images or the first image from the feed. You can also set cache time, control the order of items, and aggregate multiple feeds into one list.

FAQ

This could be because the source you’re fetching from does not include the featured image in their RSS feed. There is nothing you can do to fix this unless you have control of the source website. If so, you can simply install this plugin on the source website and it will include the featured images within the RSS feed automatically.

You can change the layout via WordPress filters. Add the following code to your themes functions.php file:

function custom_rss_layout_callback( $layout ) {     $layout = array(         'thumbnail',         'title',         'content',         'postdata',     );     return $layout; } add_filter( 'wp_rss_retriever_layout', 'custom_rss_layout_callback' );

In addition, you can add your own HTML to the output if you want to wrap elements. Example:

$layout = array(     '<div class="my-custom-class">',         'thumbnail',         'title',         'content',         'postdata',     '</div>' );

Or, if you only want to display the title:

$layout = array(     'title', );

Here’s an example of how to display an RSS feed with PHP

<?php echo do_shortcode('[wp_rss_retriever url="http://feeds.feedburner.com/TechCrunch/" items="10" excerpt="50" read_more="true" credits="true" new_window="true" thumbnail="200" cache="7200"]'); ?>
