The Author RSS Widget is very similar to the default RSS widget but offers author-specific RSS feeds. This means that you can display the RSS feed of your authors on their author archive page or posts that they’ve written.
<h4>Usage</h4>
The plugin gives you 5 options to tweak. The “Title” and Items To Show” options should be pretty self-explanatory. The former controls the widget’s title, the later controls the number of items displayed from the feed.
The “Field Name” option is needed because there is no built-in way to add an author’s feed URL to WordPress. Author RSS Feed needs to know how you saved this data to the database. Add user meta field name you are using here.
There are a number of ways to add additional fields to the user edit screen, I recommend <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/" rel="ugc">Advanced Custom Fields</a>. Once you’ve added a field to the User Form make sure to use the generated “Field Name” here in Author RSS Field.
The “Default Field URL” setting can be used as a fallback. If an author’s feed can not be found or the widget is displayed on any other page than the author archive or single post page, this URL will be used. It may be left empty, in which case the widget will not be displayed at all. This is useful if you either want to show the author’s RSS feed, or nothing at all.
The “Show Feed On” setting controls when the author’s RSS field overwrites the default RSS field. This allows you to show the author’s feed on his/her author archive, but not on single post pages.

Particularly suitable to all multi-nested categories and multi-authors website, with lots of posts and complex category layout (i.e.: academic papers, newpapers articles, etc), as weel as for single-user websites (read below). This plugin allows the user to place a shortcode into any page and get rid of a long and nested menu/submenu to show all site’s posts (including custom post types assigned to a standard category). A customizable selector in the page will allow the reader to select grouping by Category/Author/Title.
Shortcode’s options include:
<ul>
<li>excluding any category from the list</li>
<li>excluding/including admin users from the list</li>
<li>single-user website usage</li>
<li>select what list(s) to display</li>
<li>limit number of posts in list output </li>
<li>Show (optional) post date</li>
<li>Show in reverse date order</li>
</ul>
Output grouped by Category will look like:
<pre><code>CAT1
 post1 AUTHOR
 SUBCAT1
 post2 AUTHOR
 post3 AUTHOR
 SUBCAT2
 post4 AUTHOR
 ...
 ...
</code></pre>
Shortcode generator
The plugin installs a new menu ACT List Shortcodes in Admin->Tools. The tool is a helper to automatically generate the required shortcode. It will parse the options and display the string to be copied and pasted into any page. Please refer to the plugin admin page for a full list of options.
Default manual usage:
[ACT-list]
all categories and subcategories post, excluding administrator’s posts, grouped by (upon selection) Category/Author/Title
Exclude categories:
[ACT-list exclude=”cat1-slug, cat2-slug, …”]
listed categories will be excluded. Categories must be listed with their slugnames.
Include admin’s posts:
[ACT-list admin=1]
this option will also include all admin’s posts in the list.
Single-user website:
[ACT-list singleuser=1]
this option is suited for websites with a single author (or when you don’t want to show the authors). It removes grouping by Authors and any author name. This option includes the admin=1 option, so that it will list any post in the website. You can still apply “excluding categories” option.
Select what list(s) to display
The parameter “show” will allow the admin to select what lists will be shown and if the dropdown selector is needed or not. i.e.:
[ACT-list show=”Category, Author”]
or
[ACT-list show=”Title, Category”]
Allowed terms for the “show” parameter are: Author, Title, Category.
Split the lists into separate pages
By selecting only one variable in the “show” parameter, you will be able to show only one list without the dropdown selector. This will enable you to put the 3 lists into separate pages, or separate tabs of the same page.
Page#1 (or tab#1) 
[ACT-list show=”Category”]
Page#2 (or tab#2) 
[ACT-list show=”Author”]
Page#3 (or tab#3) 
[ACT-list show=”Title”]
Limit the number of posts in the lists
If you have a large numbers of posts (>2,000), it could be convenient to limit the number of posts in the lists, including only a certain amount of the most recent posts. This can be achieved separately for the 3 lists using the following parameters: postspercategory, postsperauthor, totalpoststitle. i.e.:
[ACT-list show=”Category” postspercategory=”20″] will show only the 20 most recent posts for each category.
Show posts list in reverse date order
By default, the posts will be listed from newest to oldest. To change this behaviour, use the reverse-date=1 parameter.
Show posts date (v.>=2.7.0)
The date of the post could be printed out before the post name, optionally
