    How would I display entries from any RSS or Atom feed?

    For example, I would like to automatically display USCCB » Bible » Daily Readings (http://www.usccb.org//bible/readings/010815.cfm) RSS feed to one of my Epic pages, how would I accomplish that?

    Good Morning Jerry,

    Excellent question. WordPress does ship with a RSS widget that you can use to display posts from a feed in a widget area.

    If you need to show a bit more that would typically fit in a widget, you might try a plugin called HungryFEED (https://wordpress.org/plugins/hungryfeed/). It allows you to add the entries in a feed to a page/post with a shortcode.

    A shortcode is a small piece of text that you place into the content area of a page/post that on front end of your site will be transformed into something else. For this plugin, the shortcode looks like this:

    
    [hungryfeed url="http://site.com/feed"]
    

    where http://site.com/feed is the URL to the feed.

    I have not tried out this plugin, but it has a good rating and number of downloads so that’s promising.

    Have a good weekend,
    Bill

    Thanks, WP RSS Multi Importer (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rss-multi-importer/) plugin seems to be more popular than HungryFEED (https://wordpress.org/plugins/hungryfeed/) than the one you suggested. Have you ever heard of it, it has impressive overall stats when compared to HungryFeed?

    That’s probably a good option too. One of the good and bad things about WordPress is there are often several plugins that do the same thing. Finding the right one can take a bit of experimenting.
