Forward: Blogroll lets you follow selected blogs from inside WordPress. Add blog URLs or direct RSS feed URLs, validate them from the admin screen, import recent items, and display the newest external posts on any page with a shortcode.
Imported items are stored in a dedicated internal post type, so external posts stay separate from your normal Posts archive.
<h4>Key features</h4>

<h3>Shortcode</h3>
Basic usage:
<pre><code>[forward_blogroll]
</code></pre>
Limit the number of displayed items:
<pre><code>[forward_blogroll posts_per_page="10"]
</code></pre>
The <code>posts_per_page</code> value is capped at 100.
Display items from one configured source:
<pre><code>[forward_blogroll source="source_id"]
</code></pre>
You can copy a source ID from the shortcode options table in the Blogroll admin screen.
<h3>External requests and stored data</h3>
Forward: Blogroll makes HTTP requests only to the blog and feed URLs you configure. It uses those requests to discover RSS or Atom feed URLs, validate feeds, and import new items during scheduled WP-Cron checks.
For each imported item, the plugin stores the item title, source name, source feed URL, original permalink, publish date, duplicate-prevention fingerprints, and image URL when one is available. It does not copy full article content into normal WordPress posts.
