Description
Adds a simple to use [rss] shortcode with a couple of options:
- feed, to put in the feed URL
- num, to specify the number of items to show, defaults to 5
- excerpt (true|false), whether to show an excerpt or not, defaults to true
- target (defaults to none), to make links open in a new page (might break your html validity if under a strict doctype)
Example use:
[rss feed=”http://yoast.com/feed/” num=”10″ excerpt=”false”]
Or:
[rss feed=”http://yoast.com/feed/” num=”5″ excerpt=”true” target=”_blank”]
