of downloads still active
At least 10 of 3.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Content & Feeds plugin keeps 0.8%, across 867 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Content & Feeds plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals

- Long abandoned. No update in 13+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.3.2, well behind 7.1.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| feedwordpress your tag | #11 | #12 | 0 |
| feed your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| link your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “feedwordpress”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “feed” and “link” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

The plugin does what it’s supposed to, but as reviewers have written back in 2013, it comes with a weird bug. The bugs they reported appear to be different from the one I got, so I suppose the plugin’s code has changed since then. The fix that CarpetGuy described in his review also doesn’t work for me. What bug did I get? None when posts are displayed in their own page. However, on the blog’s main page, only the posts’ titles would be displayed, while their content was gone. Here’s how I fixed it: The code originally read if(! is_single()) return; From what I understand, this tells the function to return nothing, and nothing thus becomes the post’s new content. Change this to: if(! is_single()) return $content; Another change I’ve made: The plugin automatically puts the line containing the source link in its own paragraph, which is good. However, if the last bit of text from your blog post is not wrapped in paragraph tags (<p> and </p>), then there will be no space between the end of your post and the line with the source link. I’ve changed that by having the plugin add an empty paragraph before the paragraph containing the line with the source link. This adds space if the end of your blog post was not wrapped in paragraph tags, and adds no further space otherwise. To do this, find this line of code: $feedsource = '<p>[<a href="'.$feedlink.'" target="blank" rel="nofollow">source: '.$feedlink.'</a>]</p>'; and change it to: $feedsource = '<p></p><p>[<a href="'.$feedlink.'" rel="nofollow">source: '.$feedlink.'</a>]</p>';

Adds a link to rss posts but ensures that content on all other pages is hidden. Useless.

Home page only showing title. And you can’t configure link style

I also had the same problem with the broken pages, and here is what I did to fix it. I have all of my syndicated posts add to a specific category, so, I found the if( is_single()) and changed it to, if( is_single() && in_category(‘whatever category’) ) just replace “whatever category” with the category name, if more than one, separate with a comma. This may be a temporary fix, but it is working for me, so far!

This plugin does exactly what it says… it adds a source link to the bottom of each single blog page item… however it conflicts with my theme and wipes out the content from my non blog pages i.e. about, contact, and so forth… Once I turn it off all of my content returns… My current theme is Striking – By Kaptinlin – Version 5.1.9.6 My current WP is version 3.5.1
