Unlimited RSS/Atom feeds

Powerful shortcode system
One shortcode gives full control:

Each feed is cached independently as a WordPress transient. Zero front-end API calls — output is clean, static HTML.

Common questions
Before you install
Is DaazSync really free?
Yes. The core plugin — unlimited feeds, 5 layouts, the full shortcode system, auto-import and caching — is 100% free and open source (GPLv2). DaazSync PRO is a separate, optional paid add-on.
How many RSS feeds can I add?
Unlimited, in both the free and PRO version. There has never been a cap on the number of feeds.
Does it work with Elementor, Divi or other page builders?
Yes. DaazSync uses a standard WordPress shortcode that works in any editor or builder that supports shortcodes.
Will this slow down my website?
No. Feed data is cached as WordPress transients and served as plain HTML — no front-end API calls, aside from a lightweight Swiper instance for the Carousel layout.
Does the plugin send my data to external servers?
No. DaazSync only contacts the RSS feed URLs you configure. The optional PRO AI summary feature connects directly to the AI provider you choose, using your own API key.
My feed shows no articles — what should I try?
Open the feed URL in a browser to confirm it’s valid XML, click Refresh on the feed, and clear the plugin cache. Full steps in Installation & Setup.
