Feedzy RSS Feeds WordPress Plugin – Features, Pricing & Review | WPWizzy

First verify the RSS feed URL is valid and accessible by pasting it directly into your browser – it should display XML content. If the URL is valid, try clearing the Feedzy cache from the plugin settings. If you recently added the feed, the initial cache period may not have passed yet. Also check whether the feed URL uses HTTPS – some servers have problems fetching HTTP feeds. If the feed requires authentication or is behind a paywall, Feedzy cannot access it.

Feedzy caches feed results to reduce server load. If the cache interval is set too long, new items will not appear until the cache expires. Go to Feedzy settings and reduce the cache duration, or use the Clear Cache option to force an immediate refresh. If you are using a server-level caching plugin, also clear that cache as it may be serving a cached version of the page containing the feed.

Feedzy uses the feed item GUID or link to identify unique items and avoid duplicates. Duplicates appear when a feed changes item GUIDs between fetches, which some feed providers do. Check your feed source to see if GUIDs are stable. In Feedzy Pro settings, you can configure duplicate detection based on title or URL instead of GUID, which is more reliable for feeds with unstable GUIDs.

Feedzy Pro includes keyword filtering that allows you to include or exclude feed items based on words appearing in the title or content. In the shortcode or block settings, find the Keywords to Include or Keywords to Exclude fields and enter your terms. This filters the displayed items before they are shown on your page. The free version does not include keyword filtering.

Feedzy outputs HTML with specific CSS classes you can target in your theme or a custom CSS plugin. The main wrapper uses the feedzy-rss-feeds class. Individual items, titles, descriptions, and thumbnails all have distinct classes. Use your browser developer tools to inspect the output and identify the classes, then add custom CSS through Appearance, then Customise, then Additional CSS, or through your theme child stylesheet.

Yes, particularly with Feedzy Pro. The feed-to-post feature creates actual WordPress posts from feed items, which means the content is searchable, categorisable, and works with your existing theme and plugin setup. The AI rewriting feature can summarise or rewrite imported content. For a purely display-based aggregator without creating WordPress posts, the free version is sufficient.

Feedzy fetches external feeds which takes time and server resources. The built-in caching reduces this by storing feed results locally and only re-fetching after the cache expires. Set the cache duration to at least 12 hours for feeds that do not update very frequently. If you are displaying many feeds on a single page, test performance and consider increasing cache duration or reducing the number of items displayed per feed.

Yes. Feedzy displays whatever content is in the RSS feed, regardless of language. If the feed contains Arabic, German, or any other language, Feedzy will display it correctly. Feedzy itself is also translated into multiple languages for the admin interface. The only limitation is if a feed uses a character encoding that is incompatible with your site, which is rare with modern feeds that use UTF-8.

Yes. The AI content rewriting feature in Feedzy Pro uses the OpenAI API, which requires a separate OpenAI account and API key. You pay OpenAI directly based on usage. Feedzy Pro gives you the interface to connect and configure AI rewriting, but the OpenAI API costs are separate from your Feedzy licence cost.
