<p>This is a Gutenberg block that pulls posts from an RSS feed.</p>
<p>The plugin uses the <code>fetch_feed</code> WordPress function to display the entries from a feed on your website (https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/fetch_feed).</p>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<p>Gutenberg has to be installed on your WordPress instance in order to use this plugin.</p>
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<p>Once the plugin is installed, you’ll first need to enter the URL of your feed URL. There is a helpful button for validating the feed URL. If there is something wrong, an error will appear.</p>
<p>Here are the available feed options:<br />
 1. Number of posts to be shown on the front-end. The default number is 10.<br />
 2. Whether to show the descriptions of the posts on the front-end.<br />
 3. Whether to show the dates of the posts on the front-end.<br />
 4. Whether to show the content of the posts on the front-end.</p>
<h3>WordPress Hooks</h3>
<p>There are a few WordPress hooks that allows you to modify the output. All of them are related to the front-end.</p>
<p><strong>Actions</strong></p>
<pre><code>grf_before_items -- called before displaying the feed on your site.

grf_before_item -- called before each feed entry.

grf_after_item -- called after each feed entry.

grf_after_items -- called after all listed entries.
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Filters</strong></p>
<pre><code>grf_frontend_output -- allows you to modify the HTML markup that will be displayed on the site.<h3>Front-end error messages</h3>
</code></pre>
<p>In case, a feed isn’t configured or it isn’t a valid one, the following messages might appear on the page that uses the custom block:<br />
 – Missing feed URL: <code>Please set the URL of the RSS feed through the WordPress dashboard.</code><br />
 – Incorrect feed: <code>Please make sure the provided URL is a valid feed.</code><br />
 – No posts: <code>No feed items found.</code></p>

<p>FeedWordPress is an Atom/RSS aggregator for WordPress. It syndicates content from feeds that you choose into your WordPress weblog, and then the content it syndicates appears as a series of special posts in your WordPress posts database. If you syndicate several feeds then you can use WordPress’s posts database and templating engine as the back-end of an aggregation (“planet”) website. It was developed, originally, as a utility/hobby project, because I needed a more flexible replacement for <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20051029095046/http://www.planetplanet.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">Planet</a> for aggregator sites that I administered.</p>
<p>FeedWordPress is designed with flexibility, ease of use, and ease of configuration in mind. You’ll need a working installation of WordPress (version <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Version_4.5" rel="nofollow ugc">4.5</a> or later), and it helps to have SFTP or FTP access to your web host. The ability to create cron jobs on your web host is helpful but not required.</p>
<h3>Using and Customizing FeedWordPress</h3>
<p>FeedWordPress has many options which can be accessed through the WordPress Dashboard, and a lot of functionality accessible programmatically through WordPress templates or plugins. For further documentation of the ins and outs, see the documentation at the <a href="http://feedwordpress.radgeek.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">FeedWordPress project homepage</a>.</p>

FeedWordPress

I've been using FWP for years. I used to have several sites that relied on it for aggregating ebay stuff. However, on shared hosting, and with MANY syndicated sources, my sites often got banned for hogging the server.
The "problem" is that FWP is so excellent at what it does, I got carried away with the number of sources. 
I've been using a different aggregator for a while, but it doesn't have the flexibility of FWP: setting Category, Tags and custom fields per feed is awesome.  
Hence, I've come back to using FWP, but not using the scheduling features, and taking it easy on the number of sources.  
If you are NOT on a shared server, just ignore my comments and "fill yer boots". 

Excellent! Be careful on shared hosting, though..

I struggled with multiple RSS aggregation plugins, all of which were paid subscription plugins. I had already paid for one and after hours, I could not make it import enclosures to PowerPress. FeedWordpress took about 5 minutes to set up and worked perfectly. It also had the feature to all for reimportation of items which the paid plugin lacked. This free plugin is in every way better than the commercial alternatives.

Simple Install and Works Great

Have used FeedWP for multiple projects over the decades, for monitoring news on specific topics. Works flawlessly, and offers many valuable options. A well-designed workhorse.

Excellent and dependable.

FeedWordPress syndicates content from feeds you choose into your WordPress weblog.
