  • feedList 2.23 – for version of wordpress 1.5+,2.x (updated 07 Jul 2009)

I have discontinued rssLinkList and now only support feedList. If you have wordpress 1.5+ you can use the older rssLInkList plugin but feedList is better. First off installation is much easier and it supports ATOM and RSS feeds (hence the name change) whereas rssLinkList only supports, you guessed it, RSS feeds. It is the version I am currently using on this site. The stuff rssLinkList did is done and it works better in feedList because I fixed some bugs during the conversion (bugs that were never fixed in rssLinkedList

One major change other than the support for ATOM feeds is that you no longer need a cache directory. Wordpress, with its built in MAGPIE support, stores the cache internally so you don’t need to manage it anymore. Wordpress stores the cache in the Database.

The download (follow the corresponding link above) is a zip file and contains the plugin file(s) and a readme.txt file. Please, pretty please, read that file. The readme.txt file explains how to install the plugin (pretty simple for both) and explains what all the different options are for and what they will do. Over the months that this plugin has existed it’s functionality and flexibility has expanded ALOT so there are a bunch of settings to pay attention to.

If you are upgrading from rssLinkList to feedList – don’t worry, your old feed calls will still work. There are just now some new “wrapper” methods that called “feedList” to make for a more seemless experince for new users. You can use either the old function name or the new one.

I took down most of the “support text” in this blog post so that I don’t have to maintain it both here and in the readme.txt file. Please make sure you read that file before you ask for help. I help everyone that asks but most of the time the solution is in the readme.txt file. Thanks

If you feel weird about donating money you can always buy me a cheap item on my wish list :O) Hey, I’m not too proud to beg :O)

If you have a question or a feature request please check the feedList FAQ first.

NOTE
I have setup a google group at http://groups.google.com/group/wp-feedlist for all future comments/suggestions/questions about feedList/rssLinkList. More importantly I have a issue tracker setup at http://code.google.com/p/wp-feedlist/issues/list where you can report problems and request new features. Please take advantage of these new tools to help make feedList everything you need it to be.

READ THIS
If, for some reason, your feed isn’t showing, please check the troubleshooting section of the readme.txt file! It is the last section of the file and may very well fix your problem. Thanks

    Thanks!! Just what I was looking for.
  • Hi - I am hoping to be able to use this plugin but the feed I am interested in doesn't show in my page. I can successfully view other feeds. I have upgraded the files mentioned in the troubleshooting section so thought I'd ask here. The url to the feed I want to display is quite long (266 chars) could that be the problem? (The rss feed link works ok I am sure if that..)

    This is what I put in my Page:
