Welcome to the UCF RSS Feed Plugin wiki! This documentation is intended for anyone adding content to a site with this plugin activated, and for developers that maintain sites using it.
This documentation assumes a basic understanding of WordPress and how to create and manage content. If you're new to WordPress, please take the time to familiarize yourself with the basics until you're comfortable with using the admin interface.
The UCF RSS Feed Plugin is a WordPress plugin developed by UCF Web Communications that provides a simple shortcode for displaying an external RSS feed's content within a post/page. The plugin provides a layout system that can be extended by developers for customizing the look+feel of any feed.
This plugin is designed to pull in and display RSS data from any external source. It's designed to display basic lists for use as supplementary content on a page; it is not designed for use as a robust archive system (pagination is not supported).
The UCF RSS Feed Plugin should not be used to display lists posts, pages, etc. coming from the same site it's being used on; consider using the UCF Post List Shortcode plugin for that purpose instead.
If you're looking to display news articles from UCF Today on your website, use the UCF News Plugin instead.
Because the RSS specification is fairly limited (without custom elements), this plugin should only be used for displaying basic article data (title, description, publish date, thumbnail, link). Anything more custom will require writing a custom layout and parsing logic (with SimplePie).
