Embed RSS Feeds in WordPress

WordPress makes it easy (well, kind of) to embed RSS feeds into your WordPress template, so you can have a feed displayed in your sidebar, footer, or anywhere else you want in your PHP files. To do this, I used a combination of code from Darren Hoyt and Jeriko.

first, from Darren

<?php

require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');

$rss = @fetch_rss('RSS FEED HERE');

if ( isset($rss->items) && 0 != count($rss->items) ) {

?>

<ul>

<?php

$rss->items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, NUMBER OF ITEMS);

foreach ($rss->items as $item ) {

?>

<li>

and then the bit from Jeriko

<a href='<?php echo wp_filter_kses($item['link']); ?>'>

  <?php echo wp_specialchars($item['title']); ?>

</a>

</li>

<?php } ?>

</ul>

<?php } ?>
