Features

Everything a real newsroom importer needs.

47-feed curated catalog

News, World, Tech, Business, and Science — toggle any feed on with one click.

Custom RSS feeds

Paste any RSS URL on the Feeds tab. Auto-saves ~800ms after you stop typing.

Per-feed scheduling

Pick a 5, 15, 30, or 60-minute check interval per feed. WP-Cron driven.

Featured image extraction

Pulls covers from enclosures, media:thumbnail, media:content, or first content image — with a min-width filter.

Persistent GUID dedupe

Hashed GUIDs in a ledger table that survives post deletion. Re-runs never create duplicates.

Duplicate detector

Finds existing duplicates and merges them in bulk — clean up legacy imports in one pass.

Feed health monitoring

Flags feeds that fetch successfully but import nothing — silent failures made visible.

Granular categories

Feeds map to News, World, Tech, Business, Science alongside a catch-all RSS category.

Embedded knowledge base

15 FAQ entries built into the Support tab — answers without leaving wp-admin.

Built for WordPress

Grid Index RSS Importer is engineered as a first-class WordPress plugin — native posts, taxonomy mapping, source attribution meta, and a persistent dedupe ledger that survives post deletion.
