Thanks for that link. I’ve installed it and it sorta works, but not totally. If I choose “if_rss” and limit it to say 5 articles and also choose a category, like tech, and limit that to 5 articles, the archive for the tech category will correctly only display 5 articles but the tech feed still lists them all.
How does one do an “AND” operation with this plugin? I.e. if rss and if category “tech” then limit to 5 posts. Hard to tell exactly how to use this.
I’ll keep working with this plugin. If there are any other ideas, or if anyone can tell me how to hack the wp-rss2.php file as described above, I’d really appreciate it. In fact, copying the wp-rss2.php file and hacking it is probably what I need to do, because I forgot to say that I also need a way to display two feeds for certain categories, one that lists just a few posts and one that lists all, so I am not sure the plugin will let me do that.
