  Hello

  Does anyone know how I can link lots of other people’s posts to auto-update in my site a) for free and b) without pasting individual RSS?

  Thanks

  Hi there,

  If the site is hosted on WordPress.com or connected to WordPress.com via the Jetpack plugin, you can use the Display WordPress Posts widget:

  https://wordpress.com/support/widgets/display-wordpress-posts/

  Else you’ll need the RSS widget:

  https://wordpress.com/support/widgets/rss-widget/

  If you want to display the posts directly inside a post or page on your site, you’ll need to use the RSS shortcode for this:

  https://wordpress.com/support/rss-shortcode/

  Thanks for your reply

  Don’t plugins cost to add?

  With the RSS widget I can only add one site?

  thanks

  Hi there, all the solutions that @kokkieh gave you do not involve plugins and you can add several instances of the RSS widget or the shortcode to your WPcom site.

  You can also customize how the feed displays using the parameters mentioned in the support guides.

  thank you

  I’m a novice so your help is appreciated

  I can only see the RSS feed with a widget that is a sidebar or a footer. Is it possible to be the main part of the page?

  Thanks

  OK so I’ve used an RSS block but that references one other site per block.

  is there any way to order them chronologically regardless of the site that its from

  thanks

  No, currently the RSS block can only handle one feed per block.

  No, you’d have to manually re-blog.
