Introduction

• Wordpress RSS Combiner is a Wordpress-Plugin that lets you merge several RSS-Feeds into one.
• It caches the input feeds, sorts items by publishing-date and then outputs a feed in either RSS 2.0 or Atom 1.0 format.
• Currently it requires WordPress 2.1x (in case downgradeability could be added on request)

Version-History

Installation

1. Download the archive and extract its contents or checkout the source (http://wp-rss-combiner.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/).
2. Upload the complete folder (including subfolders) to /wp-content/plugins/ of your Wordpress-Installation.
3. Activate the plugin.
4. Make sure to change the write-properties (chmod) of /wp-content/plugins/wp-rss-combiner/simplepie/cache to 0777 (Simplepie will cache the feed there).

• This Plugin is based on a standalone PHP-Script by John Wrana (http://jowra.com/journal/2006/10/rss-combiner/). I completely rewrote the script from scratch. That said, the idea is Johns' the Wordpress port is my work. So i'm standing on giants shoulders... Thanks for sharing the script and publishing it under GNU GP License.
• This Plugin makes use of Simplepie.
