RSS Post Importer vs RSS Aggregator Plugin

CreativeMinds is proud to present two of the best WordPress RSS feed plugins on the market: RSS Post Importer and RSS Aggregator. Both tools allow users to display RSS in WP, but with key differences.

The CM WP RSS Aggregator plugin can read RSS feeds from external sites, but will only keep the title and initial description of the external post while linking to the external URL of the original source for the full post content. Once a user clicks on the title, they will be redirected to the original post.

The CM WP RSS Post Importer plugin imports the actual post content to your site while letting you define the exact template of the content. This gives you complete control over content syndication while pulling feed content from a wide range of sources.
