FeedWordPress is an Atom/RSS aggregator for WordPress. It syndicates content from feeds that you choose into your WordPress weblog, and then the content it syndicates appears as a series of special posts in your WordPress posts database. If you syndicate several feeds then you can use WordPress’s posts database and templating engine as the back-end of an aggregation (“planet”) website. It was developed, originally, as a utility/hobby project, because I needed a more flexible replacement for Planet for aggregator sites that I administered.

Best free rss feed plugin for wordpress!

Looking forward to the new update that can add feed sites in groups…
Solid functionality
by linuxhostmaster·1 year ago
Syndication is one of those things that you half expect to be built-in, but isn’t.
I looked at adding syndication many few years ago with a view to integrating Forum commentary into the WordPress site. At the time FeedWordpress seemed to be the most flexible and reliable and I’ve been using it ever since and it seems pretty solid.
That said, the admin UI maybe isn’t as easy to navigate as it could be, but it does the job.
A Powerful Workhorse
by cogdog·2 years ago
This is way overdue, but since 2011 I have used FeedWordPress on numerous education sites where students participate in their own blog space and the course site aggregates collectively their works, tags and categories provide powerful means to organize. One of the longest running ones has aggregated over 90,000 posts.
A ton of flexible features and the developer has always been (and still does) respond quickly to issues. I’ve not done much lately, but looking at it in 2023 for a project.
RSS is the secret sauce of the web.
Excellent and dependable.

Have used FeedWP for multiple projects over the decades, for monitoring news on specific topics. Works flawlessly, and offers many valuable options. A well-designed workhorse.

1. when you would add any site to subscribe for posts, this stupid plug-in would create new Categories against posts’tags from the feed site.(according to its default settings)
2. Posts in your feed would be shown without photos – just a plain text… in 21th century.You should ask yourself before plug-in activation – do you really need a text without photos?
3. Plug-in would copy text by text articles/posts without bringing canonical urls, so it would hurt SEO for both sites. Do you really need that?
4. After you would disable subscription for donor’s site with removing all posts and data from your local site – new added categories would remain on your local site and you would need delete them manually. Do you really need that mess?
