WP RSS Aggregator – RSS Import, Feed to Post, Autoblogging, AI Content

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

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.

574 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 510 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

   We have been working with the WP RSS Aggregator team to identify a licensing issue on our multisite network. After running some diagnostics in our production environment, the issue was identified and resolved. They also credited us some of the time back on our subscription for when the plugin was not working as expected. Thank you Aggregator Team!

   I’ve looked into so many RSS plugins and used a few over the years. This is the best I’ve found. It’s not free but you get what you pay for, and this plugin does everything I need for a very large multi-site. The UI is straightforward, it works as advertised, and the couple times I had support questions their support team was helpful; they even logged into my WP backend (securely) to resolve an issue. This is how WordPress plugins should be developed!

   I have used this plugin for many years and it worked okayish, but recently they completely rebuilt/refactored the plugin and totally fucked up. And that is for months now – and no resolution in sight. I even have the paid premium version. It begins with the plugin ‘forgetting’ my licence key again and again (which breaks my automation). When I manually refresh the licence key it works again. Basic functionalities (like filtering content by xml attributes) are not working. And if you report those issues to them you get answers like (original quote!): “The issue that you reported is a known issue in Aggregator v5 and our team is working on a fix. The fix will be included in one of the upcoming releases of Aggregator. We appreciate your patience while we work on resolving this. ” – and just remember: I pay for a product they label “Elite” – lol Thanks for nothing.

   After comparing several different options, I found WP RSS Aggregator to be clearly the best. Especially the latest version is excellent in the terms of setup and usability. For reasons unrelated to the plugin I had to contact their support, which was really fast and knowledgeable. Thank you for that too!
