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 renewal price options are billed yearly, 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.
- All add-ons and bundles are covered by our 30 Day 100% Money Back Guarantee. View full terms & conditions.
