<p>Display feeds in your blog, using PHP, a Widget or Shortcode. The plugin uses only standard WordPress functionality, so no external libraries are required. For older versions of WordPress, the built-in <a href="https://magpierss.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow ugc">MagpieRSS library</a> is used. For WordPress 2.8 and newer, there is a setting available to enable the built-in <a href="https://simplepie.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">SimplePie library</a> for parsing feeds.</p>
<p>As with all other content you publish, make sure you are allowed to (re-)publish the content of the feeds you are about to import!</p>
<p>You can insert the following code into a PHP plugin or in a template, for example <code>sidebar.php</code> or <code>single.php</code>:</p>
<p><em>Example:</em><br />
    <?php RSSImport(10, ‘https://bueltge.de/feed/’); ?></p>
<p>This is the minimal code needed for using the plugin. The plugin accepts a number of parameters for customizing the feed content import. See below for the full list of available parameters. You can also use any of the parameters with Shortcode in posts and pages.</p>
<p><em>Example Shortcode:</em><br />
    [RSSImport display=”5″ feedurl=”https://bueltge.de/feed/” use_simplepie=”true”]</p>
<p>For all (bool) parameters you can either use the strings <code>true</code> and <code>false</code> or the integer values <code>1</code> and <code>0</code>.</p>

</ol>
<p>If pagination is enabled, it adds a <code>div</code> with the class <code>rsspaging</code> to enable easier styling with CSS. You can also style the previous and next links, which have the classes: <code>rsspaging_prev</code> and <code>rsspaging_next</code>.</p>
<p>You can use any of the parameters in the php function <code>RSSImport()</code> in your templates or with the Shortcode <code>[RSSImport]</code> in posts and pages.</p>
<h4>Examples</h4>
<p><em>Using the PHP function with many parameters:</em></p>
<pre><code>RSSImport(
    $display = 5, $feedurl = 'https://bueltge.de/feed/', 
    $before_desc = '', $displaydescriptions = false, $after_desc = '', $html = false, $truncatedescchar = 200, $truncatedescstring = ' ... ', 
    $truncatetitlechar = '', $truncatetitlestring = ' ... ', 
    $before_date = ' <small>', $date = false, $after_date = '</small>', 
    $before_creator = ' <small>', $creator = false, $after_creator = '</small>', 
    $start_items = '<ul>', $end_items = '</ul>', 
    $start_item = '<li>', $end_item = '</li>'
);
</code></pre>
<p>Please note that for the PHP function the parameters are expected in the order in which they are defined in the above list. Thus if you skip one parameter, you will also have to skip all of the subsequent parameters.</p>
<p><em>Using Shortcode with several parameters:</em></p>
<pre><code>[RSSImport display="10" feedurl="https://your_feed_url/" 
displaydescriptions="true" html="true" 
start_items="<ol>" end_items="</ol>" paging="true" use_simplepie="true"]
</code></pre>
<p><em>Add a “more” link to the output:</em></p>
<pre><code>RSSImport(
    $display = 5,
    $feedurl = 'https://bueltge.de/feed/', 
    $before_desc = '',
    $displaydescriptions = true,
    $after_desc = ' <a href="%href%" target="_blank">show more</a>'
);
</code></pre>
<p>or</p>
<pre><code>[RSSImport feedurl="https://wordpress.org/news/feed/" after_desc=" <a href='%href%' target='_blank'>show more</a>" displaydescriptions="true" use_simplepie="true"]
</code></pre>
<p><em>Enable Thumbnail Pictures:</em></p>
<pre><code>RSSImport(
    $display = 5,
    $feedurl = 'https://bueltge.de/feed/',
    $before_desc = '<img src="%picture_url%" alt="">',
    $displaydescriptions = true
);
</code></pre>
<p>or</p>
<pre><code>[RSSImport feedurl="https://wordpress.org/news/feed/" displaydescriptions="true" before_desc="<div><img src='%picture_url%' width='50px' alt='' style='float:left;' />" after_desc="</div>" use_simplepie="true"]
</code></pre>

Mihdan: Yandex Turbo Feed

My apologies, I don't speak Russian!

I just wanted to say that there are people around the world that use Yandex (especially because most of its sites has very decent English translations), so, naturally enough, I'm testing most of the Yandex features; Turbo was next on my list.

Other plugins seem to have Russian as the only option, which makes it harder for a non-Russian speaker to install and configure. Mihdan: Yandex Turbo Feed, however, is mostly translated to English as well (with some exceptions).

Installation is simple enough, you get a new option on the WordPress sidebar, where you can 'Add Feeds' or view feeds. This is a nice touch: I was expecting just one feed! This allows you to configure and experiment with several alternatives — saving them all — and then let Yandex pick the one you like best.

Each feed has several options to include in the RSS — besides the additional Yandex Turbo markup — which means you can have feeds just for comments, or posts with comments, posts with images, and so forth. It has a very reasonable amount of configuration options, but — and that's also a plus! — it has good enough defaults if you feel overwhelmed with all the options (I was!).

After you create a feed, you get a new URL for it — usually something like https://your-website-address.tld/turbo/your-feed-name — which you can copy & paste to the Yandex Turbo RSS validator. After half a minute or so, you should have a green message saying 'No errors', and your Turbo RSS feed should be operational. Of course, Yandex now needs to load all pages mentioned on the feed and start converting them to the Turbo version, which Yandex claims to take around 2 hours or so.

Also note that Yandex will not create a Turbo page for all your pages; as far as I can understand, even though it might process your Turbo-enhanced RSS, only those pages worth keeping will be 'turbified' — and that is done according to the ranking of each page in your site, and if they have been previously selected by Yandex to be worth keeping.

All-in-all, this is a very reasonable plugin that does what it claims to do and does it well. I just await the completion of the full English translation 😄

As far as I can see, it works straight out of the box...
