<p>FeedCache Pipes will retrieve, cache and store locally a list of RSS feeds that you can then display on your WP site. This prevents multiple HTTP requests with each page load since the feeds can be read from the cache file.</p>

<li>CRON access</li>

FeedCache Pipes

Caches RSS Feeds for display on your WP sidebar. A list of RSS urls can be entered and the feeds will be aggregated into one list ordered by date.

<p>WordPress 2.1 introduces a nasty “feature” to feeds. Instead of abiding by your feed preferences, WordPress will truncate your feed’s content anywhere you insert a <!–more–> tag. Full Text Feed undos this functionality, allowing your feeds to contain the full text regardless of <!–more–> usage.</p>


Full Text Feed

Prevents WordPress 2.1+ from adding a more link to your website's feed.
