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”]

Installation

  1. Upload the rss-shortcode folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. Use the shortcode in your posts and pages.
