Feeds à la carte

Feeds à la carte is a WordPress plugin that renders a simple shortcode as a table of category feeds with subscription buttons. You can use the shortcode on any page or post. The feeds will be listed alphabetically and hierarchically. A few options allow you to configure the listing to some extent.

The plugin is now hosted on the WordPress.org repository at:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feeds-a-la-carte/

The basic form of the shortcode is:

[feeds-a-la-carte]

Optional attributes to configure the feed listing are:

  • child_of: will list only the descendants of a category ID
  • parent: will list only the immediate children of a category ID
  • hide_empty: use "1" for true or "0" for false — defaults to "1"
  • exclude: exclude a comma-separated list of category ID's
  • include: include a comma-separated list of category ID's
  • site_feed: Defaults to "true" — any other value will suppress the initial row referring to the sitewide feed.
