feedwordpress

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.

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?

I struggled with multiple RSS aggregation plugins, all of which were paid subscription plugins. I had already paid for one and after hours, I could not make it import enclosures to PowerPress. FeedWordpress took about 5 minutes to set up and worked perfectly. It also had the feature to all for reimportation of items which the paid plugin lacked. This free plugin is in every way better than the commercial alternatives.

I had been using the more popular plugin for a while and never really liked it. Then I found this one and it is so much more better for my needs. Thanks!

This plug-in is the best, highly recommended. Just one thing, pictures from RSS feeds are not showing up in blog, any ideas, or updates?
