About SB RSS feed plus
From the official readme · v1.4.20Description
You can improve the default WordPress RSS feed to include:
- This plugin will add post thumbnail to RSS feed as “media:content” and “enclosure” tags.
- Image is also added to HTML part of “description” and “content:encoded” tags.
- You can also add server signature to end of feed content in form “Source: XYZ”.
- Inject advertisement (image with link) after nth paragraph of each post.
Post thumbnail
Add post thumnail to each post’s excerpt and full text (if enabled in WordPress configuration).
Image will be added just before text of each post in RSS feed.
Post thumbnail is also added as media:content and enclosure tag to RSS feed.
Full-text RSS Feed when accessed via special URL
You can access RSS Feed with full content posts even when WordPress is set to RSS “Excerpt only” mode. Just setup a “secret key” and enable the override…
You can then request feed url with special query param ?fsk= to override “excerpt only” mode to “fulltext” mode. This is great for services like Google Currents.
Server signature
You can add server signature just after the full text content of post to each RSS post.
ADs
Very simple implementation of advertisement to each RSS feed post item. Ad is a simple clickable image (stretched to 90% of width – maximum of 700px).
There is no click monitoring, so you should use something like bit.ly to track clicks.
