About the Plugin

This plugin has just about everything you'd need for working with feeds in WordPress, and has a TON of features including:

  • A configuration pane under the Options tab in the WordPress software.
  • “Multifeeds” support.
  • MUCH better control over the plugin's output. Supports a simple templating system that allows:
    • Simple, easy-to-use tags for nearly every piece of data that SimplePie can output.
    • Support for multiple templates.
    • Global configuration of default values for several configuration options.
    • Ability to override the defaults for any given feed – including giving a feed it's own output template.
    • Ability to post-process feed data (e.g. stripping out all content except for images).
  • No need to manually set up cache folders.
  • Support for internationalized domain names.
  • Support for short descriptions is configurable.
  • And more!
