WordPress comes with a default site-wide RSS feed but it isn’t sufficient when it comes to podcasts, where it only shares blog posts. RSS Feed Pro is a full-feature podcasting plugin designed for both beginners and power users. A user first sets up your preferred podcast hosting, the plugin delivers 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, make sure you are allowed to stream the content of the feeds you are going to import.
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, please go to widgets and find a widget called « RSS Feed Pro ». Check the boxes for the shortcodes that 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.
Includes English, French, and Spanish languages.
