How the Feedzy RSS Feeds Plugin Works
Feedzy RSS Feeds is a powerful and flexible WordPress plugin that helps you automate content curation by importing and displaying RSS feed content on your website. Whether you want to showcase news headlines, embed blog updates, or create a curated content hub, Feedzy makes it easy and efficient—no coding required.
Key Features
- Display RSS Feeds Anywhere: Use shortcodes, widgets, or the Gutenberg block to embed RSS feeds into posts, pages, or sidebars.
- Feed to Post: Automatically import feed items as WordPress posts or custom post types.
- Filtering and Keyword Matching: Show only feed items that match specific keywords or exclude irrelevant ones.
- Image and Media Handling: Extract and display featured images or videos from feed content.
- Affiliate Integration: Automatically add affiliate or referral IDs to links in the imported content.
- OpenAI Integration (Pro): Enhance feed content with summaries, rewritten text, or custom prompts using OpenAI.
How It Works
1. Display Feeds via Shortcode or Block
Feedzy allows you to add RSS feeds to your site using a simple shortcode or block. Just enter the feed URL, configure the layout (number of items, excerpts, image settings), and the plugin fetches and displays live content from that feed.
Example shortcode:
[feedzy-rss feeds="https://example.com/feed" max="5" thumb="yes"]
You can also use the Feedzy RSS Feeds block in Gutenberg for a visual configuration experience.
2. Feed to Post Importing
Feedzy Pro includes a Feed to Post feature that allows you to automatically import feed items as WordPress posts or other post types. This is ideal for building automated blogs, niche content hubs, or news aggregation sites.
You can choose:
- The post type (e.g., Posts, Custom Post Types)
- Categories or tags to assign
- What elements to import: title, content, images, authors, dates
- Whether to keep HTML or strip it
- Whether to run each import through OpenAI for rewriting or summarizing
Feedzy will then periodically check the RSS feed and import any new items as content on your site.
3. Filtering and Automation
Feedzy allows keyword-based filtering so you can:
- Include only feed items that contain specific keywords
- Exclude posts that mention unwanted terms
This ensures your site only imports and displays relevant content, improving the quality of automated posts.
4. Media & SEO Options
Feedzy intelligently extracts media content such as:
- Featured images from feed items
- Embedded videos
- Author and publication date
These can be used in both displayed feeds and imported posts. You can also control how metadata is handled for SEO purposes.
Advanced Integrations
- OpenAI (Pro): Rewrite or summarize imported content using custom prompts.
- WordAi / SpinnerChief: Additional content spinning options.
- Elementor: Feedzy works with Elementor for custom layouts.
Performance & Caching
To optimize performance, Feedzy includes a caching mechanism that stores feed results temporarily. This prevents repeated feed calls, reducing server load and improving front-end speed.
