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.<\/p>\n\n<p>The plugin is an upgraded and advanced revision of Frank B\u00fcltge'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.<\/p>\n\n<p>To create a shortcode for sorting your RSS feeds archive catalog, please activate the plugin then click on RSS Archives &gt; 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)<\/p>\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n<p>As of <strong>version 1.1.12<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>\n\n<p>The plugin\u2019s language support includes: English, Spanish, French, German, and Russian.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Acknowledgements<\/h4>\n\n<p>Based on Frank B\u00fcltge RSSImport plugin that was no longer supported.
