<p>This plugin was created with the iTunes Podcast Feed in mind. However, you can feed it any RSS feed you like. If you would like to display some tags which are not supported right now, please feel free to contact me.</p>
<h4>Quick Start</h4>
<p>Create a template “myfeeds” in <code>Settings > Multi Feed Reader</code>.<br />
Add your Feeds.<br />
Create a page and paste in one of these shortocdes:</p>
<pre><code>[multi-feed-reader template="myfeeds"]
[multi-feed-reader template="myfeeds" limit="10"]
[multi-feed-reader template="myfeeds" cachetime="300"]
</code></pre>
<p>Enjoy 🙂</p>
<h4>Parameters</h4>
<ul>
<li><code>template</code>: (required) name of the template</li>
<li><code>limit</code>: (optional) maximum number of items per feed. default: 15</li>
<li><code>cachetime</code>: (optional) time in seconds to cache results. default: 300</li>
<li><code>nocache</code>: (optional) set to “1” to deactivate cache. not recommended, will make your multifeed-page very slow. default: 0</li>
</ul>
<h4>Force Cache Refresh</h4>
<p>To clear the cache, call the site with parameter <code>?nocache=1</code>. So if your site is <code>example.com/archives</code>, open <code>example.com/archives?nocache=1</code> in your browser. You should then see the refreshed page immediately.</p>

<p>The built-in WordPress archives widget is great for new blogs, but it doesn’t look as good for more established blogs like <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/" rel="friend nofollow ugc">WPBeginner</a>. Compact Archives displays the monthly archive of posts in a more compact form rather than the usual long list. It can be shown as a compact block suitable for the body of an <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-an-archives-page-in-wordpress/" rel="friend nofollow ugc">archives page</a>:</p>
<pre><code>2009: Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
2008: Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
2007: Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
</code></pre>
<p>or in an even more compact form to fit a sidebar:</p>
<pre><code>2009: J F M A M J J A S O N D
2008: J F M A M J J A S O N D
2007: J F M A M J J A S O N D
</code></pre>
<p>or something in between:</p>
<pre><code>2009: 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12
2008: 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12
2007: 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12
</code></pre>
<p>Compact Archive plugin works seamlessly with <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-use-the-new-wordpress-block-editor/" rel="friend nofollow ugc">Gutenberg Block Editor</a>, <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-disable-gutenberg-and-keep-the-classic-editor-in-wordpress/" rel="friend nofollow ugc">Classic Editor</a>, and WordPress widgets.</p>
