Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

WordPress comes with a default site-wide RSS feed, but it isn’t sufficient for podcasts, as it only shares blog posts. RSS Feed Pro is a full-featured podcasting plugin designed for both beginners and power users. A user first sets up their preferred podcast hosting, and the plugin delivers it to your WordPress build.

The plugin is an upgraded and advanced revision of Frank Bültge’s RSSImport. RSS Feed Pro will display feeds in your blog, using PHP, a widget, or a shortcode. If you uninstall RSSImport and install RSS Feed Pro, you should not lose any of your current configurations.

The plugin uses only standard WordPress functionality; therefore, no external libraries are required. As with all other content you publish, ensure that you are allowed to stream the content from the feeds you are importing.

To create a shortcode for sorting your RSS feeds archive catalog, please activate the plugin then click on RSS Archives > Add New Under “Shortcode Details”. Add the feed URL, then the user can select their sort mode (By Year, By Category, and By Author Name)

To use the RSS Feed Pro widget, navigate to widgets and locate a widget named “RSS Feed Pro”. Select the checkboxes for the shortcodes you’d like to use for your widget. Please click the “Installation” tab above for a comprehensive guide of the plugin’s features and functions.

12, it enhances image support for the %picture_url% placeholder. The plugin now detects images from multiple RSS feed formats, including enclosure thumbnails, image enclosures, media:thumbnail elements, and images embedded within the feed content.

The plugin’s language support includes: English, Spanish, French, German, and Russian.
