Cultivate RSS Builder

Build custom RSS feeds that dynamically list posts based on your selections. Go to Settings > RSS Builder to build your custom feeds.

This plugin is typically used alongside MailChimp or ConvertKit to program curated emails generated by RSS feeds.

RSS Feed Options:

  • Limit to a specific category
  • Order by most recent, most comments, random, or most shares (if Shared Counts is installed)
  • Customize how many posts are included
  • Exclude the first “X” posts using the Offset parameter
  • Change the featured image size included in the feed
  • Exclude posts older than a specific date, or older than a relative date (ex: “3 months ago”)
  • Exclude posts in a specific category
  • Exclude posts in a specific tag
