[Plugin: WP RSS Aggregator] First Thoughts & Wishlist

  • Hi – I’ve downloaded your plugin last night and have now included it on one of my websites. It has a load of potential and so far I haven’t seen it slow down my site at all, which is always great.

    Here are my initial thoughts:
    – a widget would be great. I’m not much of a coder and haven’t the time to sort this myself;
    – I did try including the shortcode [wp_rss_aggregator] into a text widget, after inserting the do_shortcode function in functions.php, but the title of the text widget was being pushed below the feed links. Also, if I wrapped the shortcode in a div for styling, the div was also being pushed to the bottom.
    – If I tried a widget that would enable me to insert the php code and wrap that in a div, again, the widget title and the div were being pushed to the bottom.
    – I echo others’ comments on restricting the number of returns, and also perhaps being able to simply switch off options like 2 days ago and over 2 days ago. In the meantime I’ve simply commented out the necessary code in wp-rss-aggregator.php.

    I got around the widget restrictions with the LoopBuddy plugin.

    Overall, a simple plugin with a load of promise. Thanks.

    Just another suggestion – that there is a close x button in the pop-up window as not everyone will know that simply by clicking outside the window will close it. Thanks.
