Rssemble Cards for RSS Feeds
·
Display multiple RSS feeds as OGP image card grids. No external service dependencies.
Rssemble Cards for RSS Feeds fetches multiple RSS feeds and displays them as image card grids using OGP images. It runs entirely on WordPress built-in features (SimplePie, transients, DOMDocument) — no external services required.
Key features:
- Aggregates multiple RSS feeds with URL-based deduplication (newest date wins)
- Automatic OGP image retrieval (priority: media:content → enclosure → og:image → default image)
- Parallel OGP fetching via curl_multi (respects WP proxy settings and SSL verification)
- 8 layout types: grid, list, list_vertical, text, text_line, image_only, carousel, popup_grid
- Responsive layout (3 columns on desktop, 2 on tablet, 1 on mobile — configurable)
- FSE theme color variable support (–wp–preset–color–*) with fallback
- Hover zoom + shadow effect on cards
- Transient-based caching (no WP-Cron required)
- Configurable RSS cache duration (12 hours / 1 day / 1 week / 1 month)
- OGP image URL cached for 1 month (includes negative cache for failed fetches)
- Stale cache fallback when a feed fetch fails
- Admin UI with live preview (desktop / tablet / mobile width switching)
- Compatible with object cache (Redis, Memcached) and Cloudflare
