No coding. No page-builder lock-in. No external dependencies.
<h4>✅ Everything You Need — Completely Free</h4>
5 Ready-to-Use Display Layouts
Pick the layout that fits your design and switch it per shortcode:
<ul>
<li>Grid — responsive card grid, ideal for magazine-style pages and news portals</li>
<li>List — clean vertical list, perfect for sidebars and content-heavy pages</li>
<li>Carousel — auto-playing or click-to-advance article slider</li>
<li>Hero — large featured article with supporting cards alongside</li>
<li>Minimal — ultra-light display for footers, widgets and embeds</li>
</ul>
Unlimited RSS / Atom Feeds
Add as many sources as you need. Each feed gets its own category, enabling tight per-shortcode filtering without any extra configuration.
Powerful Shortcode System
One shortcode gives you full control over every news block:
<pre><code>[newssync layout="grid" limit="6" category="Tech"]
</code></pre>
Available attributes:
<ul>
<li><code>layout</code> — grid, list, carousel, hero, minimal</li>
<li><code>limit</code> — how many articles to display</li>
<li><code>category</code> — show only feeds from a specific category</li>
<li><code>offset</code> — skip the first N articles (great for multi-column layouts)</li>
<li><code>orderby</code> / <code>order</code> — sort by date or title, ascending or descending</li>
<li><code>show_image</code>, <code>show_date</code>, <code>show_excerpt</code>, <code>show_source</code> — toggle each element independently</li>
<li><code>excerpt_length</code> — set how many words appear in the preview</li>
</ul>
Auto-Import as WordPress Posts
Enable the built-in scheduler and new articles from your feeds become real WordPress posts — fully searchable, categorisable and SEO-friendly. Run imports on a schedule or trigger them manually from the dashboard.
Smart Caching
Each feed is cached independently as a WordPress transient. You control the duration. Zero front-end API calls — output is clean, static HTML.
Works Everywhere
Compatible with the Gutenberg editor (Shortcode block), Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, the Classic Editor and any PHP template.
<h4>🚀 Take It Further with DaazSync PRO</h4>
DaazSync PRO is a premium add-on that extends the free plugin with advanced tools for demanding publishers, agencies and power users.
Keyword Filtering per Shortcode 
Display only articles that match specific topics — using simple OR logic or precise AND-groups to show articles at the intersection of two subjects:
<pre><code>[newssync keyword_filter="AI,machine learning|crypto,blockchain,DeFi"]
</code></pre>
→ Shows only articles that mention both AI and a crypto topic.
Site-Wide Advanced Filtering 
Set global include and exclude keyword rules from the admin panel. Every shortcode on every page respects them automatically.
Full-Text Extraction 
Standard RSS feeds only carry a short excerpt. PRO fetches the full article body from the source page — ideal for richer display or AI summaries.
AI-Powered Article Summaries 
Auto-generate article summaries in your language using OpenAI (GPT-4o), Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini or any custom API provider. Bring your own key — no middleman markup.
Managed Feeds Dashboard 
A production-ready feed management table with live status indicators, one-click manual refresh, last-import timestamps and per-feed error reporting.
Detailed Import Logs 
Per-article status, error traces and batch timing — so you always know exactly what happened during an import and can diagnose feed problems in seconds.
Priority Support 
Direct email support with a guaranteed 48-hour response.

THIS PLUGIN IS NOT MAINTAINED ANYMORE! 
 For historical purposes this plugin is still online. The general concept could still be useful, 
 the code is probably not working and horrible outdated.

Create streams of sitewide aggregated content from your multisite WordPress installation with bbAggregate.
A stream contains posts from those blogs allowed to participate in the stream. Anyone writing posts can add his/her post to one or more streams. 
The streams are shown by using a specific page template. (see also the examples directory). It offers functionality similar 
to the sitewide categories / global terms, but with more control and (hopefully) less buggy behaviour.
This plugin adds two database tables to your installation:
<ul>
<li>$prefix_bbAggregate_item (links an item to a stream)</li>
<li>$prefix_bbAggregate_stream (contains the stream info) </li>
</ul>
NB: This plugin is only useful for a WordPress Multisite installation in which multiple 
blogs are being used.
<h4>How does it work?</h4>
First, you create a stream (neccessary user capabillity: ‘manage_options’,admin role works perfectly). (See screenshot-4.png) 
It is recommended to only use letters, numbers and underscores or dashes in the stream name. Spaces in the name may cause problems at the moment.
Streams are defined by a name, a description (which is saved but not yet accessible for public use) and some options (see screenshot-5.png) such as:
<ul>
<li>maximum number of posts (limits the total amount of posts in a stream)</li>
<li>maximum number of posts per blog (limits the amount of posts per blog in a stream)</li>
<li>number of posts per page (limits the amount of posts per page. Pagination is included)</li>
<li>excluded blogs (blogs which have been explicitly excluded from using this stream. Posts from these blogs will not be shown in this stream) </li>
</ul>
After creating a stream (See screenshot-6.png and screenshot-7.png), create a post in a blog which is not excluded from this stream. Below the Post Editing Area you will see a new metabox called 
Streams (see screenshot-8.png) with a list of available streams (streams which have excluded this blog are not shown). By ticking the checkbox in front of the stream name 
you’ve added your post to this stream. Every user able to add a post may add his/her posts to the streams shown.
To show a stream of content you (or the theme designer of the theme you use) need to prepare the theme for showing the items. You need a page template 
for this. An example of this can be found in bbAggregate/examples and the template is called: bbAggregate-template-aggregated-posts. For now you can copy 
it into the directory of your active theme so you can test bbAggregated. Keep in mind though that it will not use your theme’s style! 
Create a page in the blog where you also have copied the page template and select the Aggregated Posts template 
as the page’s template. Add the customfield with the name ‘bbagg_stream’ (without quotes) and customfield value the exact(!) stream name of the stream you want to show (see screenshot-11.png). 
By the way, the example page template the custom field name is hardcoded, but you can change it in the template as long as you also use the new name 
for your customfield. After adding the customfield name and value and publishing the page you can view the page and you should now see your post part 
of the stream’s aggregated content (see screenshot-12.png).
Note: The stream default options can be changed sitewide by visiting the Super Admin->Options (See screenshot-9.png). Look for ‘bbAggregate sitewide defaults’ (see screenshot-10.png). After changing 
the options’ values and saving the changes new streams will use your new defaults. This can only be done by users with super admin rights. Keep in mind that streams are sitewide. Thus streams created in blog 1 
are also visible in the bbAggregate settings of blog 2.
