A simple, elegant and proper functional RSS system can help your readers know and read all your latest posts (even without visiting your website) and in return you can hope for getting tons of traffic without any special tactic. I gave two reasons to you now and hope you got it straight that you need to have RSS Feed running on your blog or website.

RSS Includes Pages Plugin

You must be aware of the fact that WordPress platform includes feeds by default. But there is one limitation over here.

Here comes a lifesaving plugin named RSS Includes Pages. Use it and it can disable that default setting resulting pages to be included within the feeds.

    Suggestion: rather than just write “round up” lists of plugins by topic, why not take 5 minutes and install them to see if they even work “in 2015” .. as at least one of your “2015” options doesn’t work in WP 4x “in 2015” ….

      Hi Christopher,

      Thank you very much for your feedback and stopping by. I do ask all our writers here to take time to research and review all recommendations. I also take responsibility for not reviewing every single recommendation I usually do random spot checks.

      I have reviewed all plugins mentioned here and can honestly recommend them, I had to remove one as it was not up to the standards I expect.

      We are interviewing a few editors to help with the workload to ensure quality is the highest possible. Honestly, thank you for bringing it to my attention.

            Well, to clarify we will be testing super rss reader. In our case, we have a 15 year old news network and needed simple way to say, on our Florida site, have three columns on bottom of home page with “news from our partners” … like our California, Massachusetts and New York news sites; and then do the same on others. So we needed something simple, but much better than the default widget that comes with WP. On one other site where I needed something even simpler than that, for a reports dashboard, I am using “WP-RSSImport” which works well.

    Hi Pawan- what would you recommend? In setting up multiple feeds from multiple locations to display on my site. I want to bring in featured images, and any other images an article may have, to display on automatically generated posts that will include the full content and contain a no follow attribution link to the original source. I also want to filter the content that comes in fro the different sources to display as different category post types on the site. For example, if the news content coming in discusses the topic of Chicago, I want to have it auto create the post as the category Type of state of Illinois news.

    What would you recommend?? Thanks for your help.

    Hello guys,

    First of all this isn’t spamming or robot writing. I just think this would fit well with the topic

    Well we just released our plugin called Adminyo – Intelligent WP Admin

    and it features quite a lot of bold and unique tools to speed and ease time while working inside the Admin Area.

    His main powers are:

    Quick Search – It will display a organized list of your results while your are typing. You also get 3 buttons near every result so you can edit,view or create a shortcut on your dashboard of the desired result.

    Pin to Dashboard – Create shortcuts of your most viewed or edited posts so you can instantly start working after you login. It supports all Custom Post Types.

    Floating Action Button – It will add a nice fixed action button on the edit pages so you can update,view,pin or scroll on top right at your finger tip.

    Misc. Tools – Adds small functions such as CTRL+S to save your progress in any of the post types, CTRL+D that will get you to the dashboard from anywhere or just customize your Admin menu with a auto-collapse function or completly hiding it.

    For more informations , demo or simply check some GIF’s please visit us.

    We are really looking forward on developing this plugin and make it based on the community’s wishes and frustrations so any helpfull advice or idea may come to life.

    Thanks for your time and have a great day reader!

    Wait, this article says that it was updated just 4 months ago, yet most of the ones listed are outdated. The first one, Super RSS Reader, hasn’t been updated in over 2 years! I have tried to install WP RSS Aggregator, but it wrecked my website both times and I’ve been using WordPress for over 10 years and far from a newbie. While going through the support forums for Super RSS Reader (nothing had been resolved in over a year) I did find “GE RSS Reader Widgets.” I will give that a try.

    SEO Link building is a process that requires a lot of time.
    If you aren’t using SEO software then you will know the amount of work load involved in creating accounts, confirming emails and submitting your contents to thousands of websites in proper time and completely automated.
