Help me find the right WP plugin

by Mike Adams

I am looking for a WordPress plugin that will pull content from an RSS feed and post the title and description. I want the title to link to the page the article is on. I essentially want to duplicate Google news, but using my own collection of RSS feeds.

I have looked at WP Robot but it seems like it is going to post the entire article on my site (not what I want). Is there any alternatives?

Thanks

    Mike, I ended up writing one for a client that does pretty much what you're looking for. PM me if you want more details. (see front page, left column of woojr.com)

      You might checkout FeedWordPress plugin, it's pretty flexible and free, and may be what you're looking for.



      I've attached a screenshot with what a typical post looks like. The title links to the original article source. It gives a short blurb and has a thumbnail if available. This particular example was being pulled from google new's entertainment RSS feed.

      Cool Glen, I'll check it out too.

    FeedPress is the one I use. I really enjoy it.
