How to show RSS feeds in a Wordpress Page and Posts
Most of the bloggers having different blogs (on same or other domain) wants to aggregate the updates on the same page. If you wants to show different blogs latest post links on a wordpress page then its very easy to show rss feeds within wordpress with the help of simplexml. The following codes displays the feeds from the single feed url.
$xml_file = 'http://feeds.feedburner.com/honeytechblog';
$xml = simplexml_load_file($xml_file);
$xml_channel = $xml->channel->item;
for ($i=0; $i<5; $i++) {
//print_r($result);
?>
<div>
<a href="<?php echo $xml_channel[$i]->link; ?>">
<?php
echo $xml_channel[$i]->title."</a></div>";
}
?>
There are some parameters which can customize your requirements like:
- $xml_file = Feed Url for example i use$xml_file = 'http://feeds.feedburner.com/honeytechblog';
- Value of i for no of links, for example i<5 shows 5 links of the feed
Alternate Code
(tested on various clients blogs)
<?php
error_reporting(0);
$url = "http://feeds.feedburner.com/micro-news";
$xml = simplexml_load_file($url, 'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA);
echo $xml;
if ($xml == "")
{
echo "Feeds are down, Try again later";
}
else
{
$blog = $xml->channel;
for($i=0; $i<3; $i++) {
?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $blog->item[$i]->link; ?>"><?php echo $blog->item[$i]->title; ?></a> </li>
<?php
}
}
?>
</ul>
Note
If you wants to run this php code apart from the Wordpress themes i.e in wordpress posts and pages then you need plugins like Exec-PHP. Exec-PHP will executes PHP code in posts, pages and text widgets .

Did you try out this stuff on one of your post / page? Iam asking this because the code is not executing itself and i guess we need to upload some files?

@Amit
I already tested the above codes on various blogs.
There is no need to upload any external files in wordpress engine because it already had the simplexml parsers.
I also implement a working examples in this post.
The code may not be executing because its a php and you haven’t yet install the Exec-PHP
