The code for some parts of this plugin is based on code from [__WP RSS Aggregator__](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rss-aggregator/)

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `wp-rss-multi-importer` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the WP RSS Multi Importer plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Configure the plugin by going to the `RSS Multi Importer` submenu that appears in your `Settings` admin menu.
3. Use the shortcode in your posts or pages: `[wp_rss_multi_importer]` or use the widget, or use the AutoPost option.
4. Limit which feeds get shown on a page by using a parameter in the shortcode, like: [wp_rss_multi_importer category="#,#"] or choose the categories in the widget.

You can also use other over 25 other parameters for the DEFAULT template which can be customized in the shortcode.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= How can I output the feeds in my theme? =

Use the shortcode in your posts and pages:
[wp_rss_multi_importer]
Make sure the shortcode is entered when the input is set to HTML (versus Visual)

If you want to limit the feeds to those in a given category, make sure to first
assign the feed to a category, then use this shortcode on your page or post:
[wp_rss_multi_importer category="#"]
Assign multiple categories using a comma delimited list:
[wp_rss_multi_importer category="#,#,#"]

Use the AutoPost option and turn the feed articles into blog posts. 


Use the widget.  If your theme allows for widgets, you'll find the RSS Multi Importer Widget there.
Configure your feeds in the administration panel, then choose the categories, number of posts, sorting method, optional scrolling, and more in the widget admin.

If you want to put this in the code on your theme, you can do it like this:

echo do_shortcode('[wp_rss_multi_importer]'); 

= Can I have the feeds go directly into blog posts? =

Yes.  Just add feeds and then go to the AutoPosts Options tab in the admin section.

= Can I export my own feed of the aggregated feed? =

Yes.  Just add feeds and then go to the Export Feed Options tab in the admin section.
