But there is a blunt edge to the open source sword &#8211; the barriers of entry are non-existent. For every excellent WordPress plugin, there are 100 crap ones. It can often take a long time to sift through the garbage to find a diamond.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, I always like it when a plugin simply <em>works<\/em>. When it meets or even surpasses your expectations in carrying out a singular task effectively.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Super RSS Reader\" href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/super-rss-reader\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Super RSS Reader<\/a> is one such plugin. Check out this video for a quick overview:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><span class=\"embed-youtube-lazy-id dev-hidden\">02aOG_-98Tg<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, Super RSS Reader allows you to place one or more RSS feed summaries directly into any widgetized area on your blog. It has a few different options which you can set to determine how the feed is displayed &#8211; including description, description length, number of visible items, and so on. This <a href=\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wordpress-tabs-plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress plugin can use tabs<\/a> to separate different feed sources and also display the data with a <a href=\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/5-wordpress-scrolling-ticker-plugins-to-liven-up-your-site\/\" target=\"_blank\">news ticker effect<\/a>. And if you are a dab hand with CSS, formatting the widget to your liking is an absolute cinch.<\/p>\n<p>Super RSS Reader is not a game-changer (obviously). But it <em>is<\/em>\u00a0a big improvement on the default WordPress RSS widget. So if that is something you already use (or are thinking of using), you should definitely take a look at this first.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Super RSS Reader\" href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/super-rss-reader\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Download Super RSS Reader here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you would like to display a RSS feed ticker in any widgetized area on your WordPress blog, Super RSS Reader is a great solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":84405,"featured_media":78052,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"blog_reading_time":"","wds_primary_category":0,"wds_primary_tutorials_categories":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[803],"tutorials_categories":[],"class_list":["post-78050","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-plugins","tag-rss"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78050","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/84405"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78050"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78050\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":224298,"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78050\/revisions\/224298"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78052"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78050"},{"taxonomy":"tutorials_categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tutorials_categories?post=78050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
