Feeds honor your site CSS: · The plugin does not impose any style constraints which allows your feed content to match your sites look and feel. Caching of input feeds: · Configurable cache expiration · Protect your feed providers from excessive downloads · Some feed providers will block websites that repeatedly access their RSS feeds · The caching methodology used by Syndicate Press will effectively remove this as an issue Caching of formatted output: · Caches the parsed and formatted output so that pages serve faster and reduce server CPU load. · For example, with 4 large feeds on a single page, full parsing and formatting can take approximately 1.6 seconds without output caching enabled. When output caching is enabled, the page is processed in ~0.001 seconds to ~0.13 seconds. Filtering: · Some feeds may contain content that you don’t want on your site. Syndicate Press’s filtering allows you to define custom filter keywords that help control what type of content is displayed to your users. · Syndicate Press supports 2 types of content filters, inclusive and exclusive. These filters operate on the feed item level. This means that an item from a feed can be filtered out due to content, while another item from the same feed will not be filtered out due to content. · Inclusive keyword filters: Only feed items that contain one of the inclusive filter keywords will be displayed · Exclusive keyword filters: Feed items that contain one of the exclusive filter keywords will not be displayed. The exclusive filter is applied after the inclusive filter. · Insert customized content between feeds, including advertising code such as Google’s Adsense. Identify feeds with a short, easy to remember name: · The feed name can be used to reference the feed in your Page or Post Configurable description text location: · Below the title link · In the title link’s hover over “title” attribute · Limit the number of items from a feed · Limit the length of the feed description to a given number of characters · Custom feed and article formatting · Enter custom HTML tags to format the feed and/or article titles Requirements: · WordPress
