    How do I display news from other sites (eg Yahoo News) on my WP site using RSS or XML/RPC? Do I need a plugin for this?

    Thanks.

    Hi, yes you can use plugins to do this for rss feeds, you can also put an rss feed in your sidebar with a widget.
    You could try Feedwordpress which puts feeds into the category of your choice,you will need to delete these often as rss feeds can come in, in large amounts.

    If you ned to put feeds on a page you could also try Newspage.

    I've used both of these plugins with wordpress 2.7.1
    hope this helps.

    Mike,

    I have installed feedwordpress plugin and its working fine except for one bug I have found.

    If a category name is shown in a feed and even if you have this option checked "don't create new categories or tags" in wp-admin, the category name is automatically created.

    Have you come across this issue? Do you know this may be resolved?

    Anyone who could give me a hand with this.

    I have installed feedwordpress (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedwordpress/) which is working fine except for one issue.

    If a category name is shown in a feed and even if you have this option checked "don't create new categories or tags" in wp-admin, a new category is automatically created.

    How do I solve this problem?
