Need a good plugin to pull in RSS feeds and post them…

  • The plug-in needs the following qualities

    MUST HAVE:

    1. Pull from an RSS feed
    2. To a post on the WordPress site as a post
    3. Pull in artwork or at least the featured mage from the RSS feed
    4. Contains a link to the external site the RSS feed is pulling from. (So if someone wants to read the original story over there, they can. As I am using someone else’s work, I feel obligated to give credit and a live link.)

    Would be nice to have:
    1. The post it creates should be able to be toggled to a specific category OR Draft
    2. Should pull the entire post, but an excerpt only might be acceptable.

    Yes, I did try a few plug-ins already. Of the three popular ones I tried, NONE did all of the MUST HAVES. Or at least I couldn’t get a required feature to work. One of them did everything–except I could never find where it was hiding the posts it was pulling in. When I viewed them directly in the aggregator’s list of pulled-in posts, they rocked–but were nowhere else to be found OTHER THAN the list of pulled-in posts.

    So, I have tried finding one that works, and if you recommend one that I tried… I’ll go back and try it again ??

    But, I need feedback on this.

    Thanks!

    Ahhh! That explains it. I tried yours first, and recognized it. I set up a site… last year (or two ago) with it. But I couldn’t get it to post today–which was REALLY confusing because I knew that it could in the past.

    Is it a switch I set in Aggregator, or is it another plugin that is needed to work with it, and if so, do you have a link to it?

    Many thanks for the reply!

    Sure, it’s an add-on to the free plugin which you can find here: https://wprssaggregator.com/extension/feed-to-post

    If you have any questions about it, please reach out using our contact form.
