The Keyword Filtering add-on gives you the ability to control, import and store only feed items or posts that contain specific keywords in either the title or their content, or specific categories and/or tags (from within the RSS feeds).
It works well with all of our other add-ons as well as with the core plugin alone. It is the ideal tool to limit the content being imported to what your visitors really want to see.
What do I get?

Filter by keyword
Sometimes there are certain keywords which tell you whether a piece of content fits into your site or not. Take the topic of sport, for example, adding the keyword “Football” will import all content that includes that word in its title and/or content (within the RSS feed).
You can add as many phrases as you want to each filter, and you can have as many filters as you need. The filtering options for this include:
- Contains all of the words.
- Contains any of the words.
- Contains none of the words.
All of the above options can be applied to either the title only, the content only, or both.

Filter by phrase
Other times, there might be entire phrases which tell you whether a piece of content fits into your site or not. Take the topic of film, for example, adding the phrase “The Last Jedi” will import all content that includes that phrase in its title and/or content (within the RSS feed).
You can add as many phrases as you want to each filter, and you can have as many filters as you need. The filtering options for this include:

Filter by tag
Other times, there might be entire phrases which tell you whether a piece of content fits into your site or not. Take the topic of film, for example, adding the phrase “The Last Jedi” will import all content that includes that phrase in its title and/or content (within the RSS feed).
You can add as many phrases as you want to each filter, and you can have as many filters as you need. The filtering options for this include:
- Contains any of these tags.
- Contains none of these tags.

Filtering via the shortcode
Through the framework developed around our shortcode, you can now filter feed items directly through the shortcode. This allows you to display feed items from as many sources as you want, as long as they contain a specific keyword or phrase.
Note that this option only works when using the shortcode display, not with the Feed to Post add-on, and the shortcode can only accept one keyword parameter per shortcode.
All of the above filters can be applied to each individual feed source separately, or in general, to all feed sources, site-wide. Click here to learn more details about the filtering logic applied.
Technical Details
Requirements
- WP RSS Aggregator Core Plugin
- WordPress 4.8 or newer
- PHP 5.4 or newer
- The core plugin requires WP Cron to work in order to function correctly. If this is not possible for any reason, WP RSS Aggregator cannot ensure that the feed source imports are run.
- WP RSS Aggregator also uses SimplePie, and hence its requirements must also be fulfilled. WordPress currently comes bundled with SimplePie version 1.3.1. To review its minimum system requirements please click here.
- All our plugins work only on self-hosted versions of WordPress (WordPress.org) and are not compatible with the hosted version of WordPress (WordPress.com).
Other details:

- Yearly price options are billed automatically. License keys for yearly renewals provide you with updates and support for one (1) year. If you have a valid subscription, the license keys are renewed automatically every year. If not, the license key must be renewed manually to keep benefitting from any updates and support.
- Lifetime licenses do not require any renewal payments after the initial purchase. License keys for lifetime licenses provide you with updates and support for the lifetime of the plugin.
- “Single Site”, “Up to Five Sites” and “Up to Twenty Sites” refer to the number of WordPress sites you can activate each license key on. They do not refer to the number of feed sources you can import from. In fact, the number of feed sources per site is unlimited.

FAQ
Visit our Knowledge Base.
Q: Can this add-on filter through content that is not provided within the feed source’s RSS feed?
A: No, Keyword Filtering can only filter by what it can see within the RSS feed being used. The only way it can filter through the full content of an imported post is when the source’s RSS feed, or the one generated by our Full Text RSS Feeds add-on, contains the entire content just like the original source.
Q: Can I use this add-on with the free core plugin only?
A: Yes, Keyword Filtering can work with just the free core plugin, filtering through the feed item titles.
Q: I need a license for more than 20 sites, can you help me out?
A: We sure can! Although we only show “up to twenty sites” on our website, we have larger license packages available upon request and at much bigger discounts. The currently available packages are of 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000 and 2000 site licenses. Contact us today for more information.
