Features
What EZ RSS does today. Free to try, coming soon.
Managing feeds
Handle ten feeds or a few hundred from one screen.
- Add feeds one at a time, or in bulk as
URL | Title | Categorylines. - Import and export OPML, JSON and CSV.
- Search the feed list and apply bulk actions.
- Pause a feed, or run it right now, individually.
- Organize feeds into categories.
Rules per feed
Set global defaults, then override them where a feed needs different treatment.
- Fetch interval, fetch limit and scan depth.
- Maximum item age.
- Description length, cut at a word boundary.
- Include and exclude filters using keywords or regular expressions.
- Source link on or off, with its own label.
- Post behavior: how items show up on your site.
Posts and links
Decide what happens to each item.
- Create WordPress posts from feed items as drafts or published.
- Choose whether the post date comes from the source or the import time.
- Show items on your site, or send visitors to the original source.
- Append a source link with a custom label, and keep the URL as post meta.
- Thumbnails are picked up from items where available.
Podcasts
Audio feeds don't always have page links.
- When an item has no link, EZ RSS uses the episode's enclosure URL instead.
- Source links and backfills work for podcast episodes too.
Showing content
Put imported items where you want them.
- A shortcode builder to generate output without memorizing attributes.
- A block for the editor.
Light footprint
Built to stay out of your database's way.
- Feeds and items are stored in two dedicated tables, not in wp_posts or wp_postmeta.
- WordPress posts are created only for feeds you choose to create them for.
- A few settings entries and a single scheduled task.
- Retention and maximum item age keep stored data from growing without limit.
- Clean uninstall: removes its tables, settings, scheduled task and created posts.
Housekeeping
Keep it tidy and see what's happening.
- Duplicate detection so the same item isn't imported twice.
- Retention settings to limit how much is stored.
- Activity log with rotation.
- Tools to export items and to add source links to posts you already imported.
- Nonce and capability checks on admin actions, with logs kept out of public reach.
