Wordpress RSS Display Plugin

10 Oct, 2007  Blogging by Leroy Brown

I’m looking for a particular Wordpress plugin / function, but couldn’t find quite what I’m looking for.  I’m sure there are probably 50 plugins that do this, but whatever I can’t find them.  Here’s what I want.

  • Display external RSS feeds ( 4 or 5 , in separate sections )
  • Display only title of post – no content blurb
  • No “powered by Feedburner” logo at the bottom, or other such nonsense.
  • Works with Wordpress 2.3

Basically I’m setting up a section on my main company site that shows headlines from several of my other sites.  For all I know there’s a simple Wordpress call that does the trick.  If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

      Wordpress comes packaged with a RSS tool called Magpie RSS. I’ve only played with it a very little, but a little delving into the docs should turn up what you want to do. It’s not a plugin, and you’ll most likely have to hard code it in, but it should do the trick.

      I haven’t tried it, but SideRSS (http://www.underjc.com/node/13) sounds like it might fit your requirements.

      Thanks for the suggestions guys. Magpie probably does what I want, but hey, I’m lazy. SideRSS gets the win here – quick, simple, and clean. Probably not as customizable as Magpie, but it works perfectly for my needs.

      Green Llama is a place to learn about making money online. Any ideas or walk-through's I have, I'll post here for your enjoyment. I also do product and online service reviews.

      However, I tend to run off on tangets quite often. I call this part of the site 'random crap'. Basically I'll go off and post about whatever I want, just to keep things interesting. Have fun and stay tuned.
