If you are able to code PHP its easy to loop through an RSS feed and insert the data into WordPress. I usually create a new post type (though of course you can use the default 'post' type). In the example below I am using a post type I made called 'article'.
There are many ways to loop through an RSS feed, here is what I use:
$rss = new DOMDocument();$rss->load($rss_url);// Loop through each item in the feedforeach ($rss->getElementsByTagName('item') as $node) { // Code goes here // Example to get a value // Define a namespace $ns = 'http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/'; $content = $node->getElementsByTagNameNS($ns, 'encoded'); $content = $content->item(0)->nodeValue;}
In the loop through your RSS feed get the data and save as variables, then run the following:
$new_article = array('post_title' => $title,'post_content' => $content,'post_excerpt' => $description,'post_type' => 'article','post_date' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime($date)),'post_author' => 1,'post_status' => 'publish');wp_insert_post( $new_article , true );
Adjust as needed to fit your needs.
Hope that helps, it will give you a lot more control than a plugin.
