Excellent works a dream – simple and efective
Be very handy if there was a default message to display if there is nothing on the RSS feed – rather than just displaying an error

Considering this plugin is free, I think it’s a great alternative to the many other RSS display plugins out there that charge money for displaying images.

The shortcode provided does an ample job of importing RSS feeds.
There are two things that would improve this plugin:
1) Make it clear the plugin alters your site’s RSS feed and adds thumbnails to it. Then offer an option to disable that function. Better yet, don’t mess with the site’s RSS feed at all as the purported purpose of this plugin is to display RSS feeds on the frontend of your site, not alter your site’s RSS feed. It took me awhile to track this down and now I’ve replaced the plugin entirely due to this.
2) Offer a Block to be used with the Block Editor
Finally Gutenberg users will get a good chunk of the functionality you need for bringing in RSS feeds through the Core RSS Feed block now provided in WP.

I tried almost 10 to twelve free plugin’s versions, but this plugin is best ever. The best thing is that you can manage feed layout according to your requirement with a little bit of coding. Thanks for making this plugin.

huh, last version killed standards … if i could i would take this one star also. do you never test your plug on other systems too? with other feeds ?
good idea, but no success .. links on images without images .. timingproblems, not cool .. no way to override the new feature with link on image ..

This is very easy to use in pages and in text widgets. Simple string of shortcodes you can do a variety of things with. Thanks for making this available.

Tried other more established options, such as wp RSS Agreegator and had nothing but issues. This plugin is very lightweight, so easy to get going and enough variables to tell it what to display.

This RSS feed is exceptionally easy to implement anywhere on the website.
I only have one problem, and that is having images come through. I have tried various configurations. This is the current one.
[wp_rss_retriever url=”https://www.saskatchewan.ca/Feeds/NewsFeed.ashx” items=”20″ orderby=”date” excerpt=”50″ read_more=”true” credits=”true” new_window=”true” thumbnail=”true” thumbnail=”150″ cache=”7200″]
I suspect it has more to do with the feed itself, some have images and some don’t.
Or, should I be expecting to see these images come through? Thanks!

review edited — as troubleshooted below, cause of issue is another plugin. admin menu editor — which I had deactivated to test if was causing and issue remained, however on a site without admin menu editor ever being activated the position of WP RSS Retriever is not an issue
Great Features
Very Good Support
Thank you for this very useful plugin.
I was prepared to give it a hearty 5-stars, however the developer decision to force 2 WordPress RSS Retriever links under the “Dashboard” section of the admin menu, is extremely irritating and really unforgivable.
Please reconsider that move, and I’ll change my rating and become an even happier user
Regards

It works well in general, but the “excerpt” attribute doesn’t work when the feed contents are not in English.
We tried in both traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese both give no response under your “excerpt” attribute.

Provides a quick, easy to use rss aggregator that meets 95% of our needs. Giving the ability to limit items per feed would boost to 100%

and it “saves” you from RSS plugins that charge extra for including excerpts!

This is an awesome little plug-in, simple and easy to configure – it was exactly what I both wanted and needed. Though I confess that I am a code geek. But I believe that anyone who takes the ten minutes to read the well-written documentation on the options, the FAQ and the responses between users and the developer in the support forum will find it’s easy to set up.
If you are testing for refresh rate, test using a very active world news feed like google or bbc or reuters and set the cache parameter to something really low like “100.”
FYI I am currently running PHP 7.2

I looked at the various RSS plugins. One of them was too complicated. Other one had some problems with output. This plugin does what i want. IT brings images and with a shortcode.
]]>Rating: 4 stars
Although plugin works fine. Its exactly what I was looking for But it is lacking in one option that is pagination. Only if it has pagination option also then it would have been the best RSS plugin.

So much faster than the old handwritten one I was using. Very fast and clean. Thank you!!!!

Im verry happy because this plugin can combine several RSS feeds into single output.
]]>Rating: 5 stars
The new added features make this plugin far more useful for me. I will be replacing others that I have been using with this. The only thing missing for me to replace all other RSS plugins is pagaination, but I understand that is a difficult feature to do.
Why 5 stars?
It is easy, simple, to use. The default settings are done intelligently, simplifies the use immemnsely. It displays multiple feeds in one shortcode. No extra, unwanted, header or subheader content gets pulled in. Clean, well-spaced, legible, results.
The results look great: I have had many issues with several rss plugins for the style – font size and layouts were awkward, cluttered, or insane looking. That is very important because I have 2 MultiSites, 8 sites, plus I do not want to change RSS feed plugins when I change themes in a site.
Thank you for your hard work to provide an excellent, free, plugin.
Cheers!

This plugin is good. But how to get feature image of post ? Thumbnail short-code is not working.

I replaced an antique no-longer-working plugin with this one today. Very simple, easy to use, and it works. Thank you!
For a future version, it would be great if there were an easy way to get the thumbnail in a non-square div, so that (for example) YouTube’s 480×360 thumbnail could be resized but not have a big gap beneath it. I’m going to try the css suggestions made by Travis on the support page, but css hacking is not my strong point. Something like “thumbheight=” and “thumbwidth=” would be a nifty addition.
