This plugin adds a new Gutenberg block – RSS Plus – that extends the core functionality of the native Gutenberg RSS Block by adding optional support for displaying images in the RSS feed. Fallback image support is provided in the event that feed items do not contain images.
You have the option for selecting the number of items to display, the author, date, excerpt, number of words in the excerpt, media, forcing media aspect ratios, and setting a default image.
Below is an example of the block using the USC RSS News Feed styling.
