NOTE: Feeder is not supported anymore (as of Wordpress 2.3). Use the Widgets in Wordpress Admin Panel to achieve similar functionality.
Feeder is a RSS Feed aggregator which parses the feed and displays them in <li> tag.
Unique thing about Feeder is that, it can cache the given feed on your server. As Directly accessing the feed causes a delay in rendering your site, Because it needs to be parsed every time your page is accessed. (and not-to-mention it is taxing on the site where the feed is sourced)
You can download the latest version of feeder Here.
Please read the documentation provided to use it.

It’s exactly what I want… but I’m receiving a “Feeder: Resource NOT a Feed” error message. The feed is from Google Calendar.
Please Help!

Hello Steve, The Current version of Feeder doesn’t quite support ATOM Feeds yet (Google uses Atom, not RSS).
Do watch this page, I’ll try to modify and add Atom support within a few days.

Hello,
I’ll start working on it soon. Hopefully, an Options Page and ATOM Feeds support is on my TO-DO List.
Regards.

Looks like your plugin is what I am looking for. It was very easy to install, but now from my sidebar I am getting this error:
Feeder: (404) Feed not Found
Do I have to wait some time to get the feed updated?
Thanks!

I tried pasting the code into a built in text widget (WP 2.2.1), and it wouldn’t put the feeds in the sidebar. Will this not work through a widget, or do I possibly have another problem going on?
Thanks.

I too am getting 404 feed not found, is the plugin compatible with wp 2.2.1?
Responded on August 24th, 2007 at 11:09 am
Sorry for the Late Reply (was busy), Just checked it, It is working on WP 2.2.1/2.2.2, Can you guys provide me with the Feed your are trying to make work? I’ll just check it and Help you.

Subbu, I tried it with, http://feeds.feedburner.com/AGreenIdea
As I mentioned, I was trying to make it work by putting the code into a text widget. I haven’t tried hard-coding it into my theme yet. I’m trying to avoid doing that.
I didn’t get a 404 error, like Nestor. Mine just didn’t write anything into the sidebar except for the widget title.

Hi, firstly thanks this is exactly what I’ve been looking for!
Unfortunately it isn’t working for me. It displays in my sidebar fine, all the titles are correct but the links are empty, i.e. the links point back to the site address.
I can’t see a problem in the sidebar code and the feed must be caching ok to be able to pull down the titles. Any idea why the links themselves won’t work? What did I miss?

Hi, installed the plugin works great! Thanks. One question though for a total n00b: How do I override the color of the article text. My sidebar is solid black and I would like to make the post titles in white. What do I need to do in the code to make it change from black? Thanks.

Hi. Firstly, thanks - this is exactly what I’ve been after for a while.
I’m having some troubles with it though.
It all installs great and the links appear in my sidebar without an issue. The links, however, point nowhere. I’ve had a look at the feeder XML in my uploads dir and it looks like the problem is beginning there.
This is the RSS feed I’m trying to use: http://app.feeddigest.com/digest3/4VPVXZZBIS.rss
And this is what appears in the XML:
Diggnation - The Sensitive Episode
etc..etc…
I tried another feed : http://leo.am/podcasts/twit
And feeder gave an error that it couldn’t find the feed.
However when I checked the XML cache on this one the links looked fine:
TWiT 111: Unlocked
http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/aolradio.podcast.aol.com/twit/TWiT0111H.mp3
So I don’t get why it would give an error that the feed couldn’t be found, since it found it well enough to cache it!
Yeah I know these are podcast feeds, but RSS is RSS, right?

forgot to remove the html tags, but you get the idea..
Responded on September 7th, 2007 at 5:58 pm
Hello ambiros, Glad that my Plugin Worked for you
And about that leo.am RSS Feed. The link http://leo.am/podcasts/twit redirects to http://leoville.tv/podcasts/twit.xml (which should work!)
Regards

I have the plugin installed and it found the feeds just fine. When it listed the links, they point to my domain and not to the links in the feed. I looked in the uploads folder under wp-content and there aren’t any files. Any help you could give would be apperciated.
Thanks for an awesome plugin.

Why not support???

I am also getting a “feed not found” error.
I’m using this feed:

I’m finding a plugin that can feed content to a blog post. Can your plugin do that? Thanks, I’ll try.
