After trying several rss plugins/modules and experiencing all kinds of problems and incompatibilities with other stuff running in my site, I finally came to this jewel. This does the job! Excellent.

I tried a few other components and modules that worked OK, but this plugin was by far the best. Plenty of configurations, easy to use. I created separate articles for each of my feeds and linked the menu to category blog view. Looks good! Thanks!

It works great if you only want the Titles of items shown from multiple RSS feeds. It works great if you only want to display description (images will show) from just one rss feed.

I used this plugin in an article that was split up into a few parts, each part meant to display a different feed with description showing. Only the first rss feed worked perfectly, the rest were somehow totally mixed up with each other and showed other errors. Each feed came from the same source and they showed up fine in other feed readers. I even tried it on another site and had the same problem. I spent hours redoing things and trying everything I could to resolve the problem, but was unable to. Something is wrong with this plugin.

A very good, very simple plugin. Configuration is a snap, and flexibility is great!

It would be great however for there to be an option to add the date to the output.

Easy to use:
Enable plug in
Create an article with the plugin code (the word count can be set in the pluggin if needed)
Publish the artical.
Then either put the artical on the front page or connected to a menu link.


It says beta but it is a final version as far as i can see.

Easy and flexible. I really liked the ability to set default parameters for the plugin and then override them when calling the plugin.

Simple. Works. 5 Stars.

It's simple to setup but also a lot of advanced features. Well worth using.

... and there's always a but!

I would like to see more control over the styling, for example a simple flag to select a header tag for the headline would be sufficient to avoid messing around with the code.

That said, it works like a charm - nice one!
