Description
This plug-in adds a very simple RSS feed from the BBC technology news section. The reason I created this was that I wanted a very simple no-nonsense RSS feed widget which I could modify easily for each project where the client required minimal control over the widget.
A few notes about the sections above:
Installation
- Upload
bbctechnews.phpto the/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the ‹Plugins› menu in WordPress
- Drag the widget to your sidebar.
FAQ
- How do I change the number of feeds that are shown?
-
From the plug-in editor look for the line: «$maxitems = $rss->get_item_quantity(5);» simply change the number in the brackets. Update the file.
- How do I change the RSS feed for something else?
-
From the plug-in editor look for the line: «$rss = fetch_feed(‹http://feeds.rssi.co.uk/news/technology/rss.xml›);» and simply change the link inside to some other feed. Update the file.
