TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

RSS Control is for WordPress site owners who want to customize their RSS feed output using URL query parameters. It solves the problem of feeds being rigid and unfilterable by letting users control which posts appear, how they're sorted, and how content like images and excerpts are displayed.

  • Filter by category
  • Filter by tag
  • Filter by post type
  • Filter by date range
  • Filter by post IDs
  • Offset posts in feed
  • Display featured images with styling
  • Include post title in description

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about RSS Control

Yes, I do the absolute best I can to support the free version of the plugin. If you upgrade to the premium version you will have priority support, Google Publisher Center feed, feed URL generator, more feed options and much more.
Yes, special characters in parameter values should be URL-encoded. For example, # becomes %23, spaces become %20, and [ becomes %5B. We recommend using https://www.urlencoder.org/ to encode style values.
Yes! All parameters can be combined. For example: https://yourdomain.com/feed/?cat=5&days_past=30&show_images=true&excerpt_length=50&type=gpc
