Super RSS Reader Pro extends WordPress RSS and Atom feed displays with shortcode placement, grids, pagination, keyword filtering, custom item templates, feed merging, thumbnail fetching, and four additional color themes. Together, these options control where feeds appear, how sources are grouped, and how entries are arranged.

Sources, placement, and feed grouping

Feeds can show content from your own or related websites, forums, event or job listings, deals, Craigslist, Google News RSS, and other RSS sources. After installing the plugin, add the Super RSS Reader widget where you want the feed display, or use [srr_feed] to place it elsewhere on the website.

In the widget options, enter multiple feed URLs separated by commas or on new lines. The widget presents those sources in tabs, so users can view feeds separately. Feed merging combines multiple RSS feeds into one display.

Item layout and selection

• Grid display: Arrange feed items in rows and columns.
• Pagination: Divide items across pages with a pagination bar.
• Keyword filtering: Show or hide items based on selected keywords.
• Custom templates: Change the order of feed content and add HTML to the item structure.
• Thumbnail fetching: Force a thumbnail fetch from the feed URL.

Feed items can include titles, dates, authors, descriptions, and thumbnails. The feed display also works with left, right, or cover thumbnail positions; absolute or relative date formats; trimmed titles and descriptions; and ordering by date or at random.

Visual presentation

Choose a grid to arrange items in columns, or use pagination when you want to divide a longer feed across pages. Color themes are available, and external CSS can customize the widget. The vertical ticker effect can be enabled or disabled, with its speed set to fit the display.

Feed refresh timing

WordPress caches RSS feeds by default for 12 hours. The cache duration can be changed with the wp_feed_cache_transient_lifetime filter. Shorter refresh intervals may increase server load.
