🎉 Exciting New Release! 🎉

I'm thrilled to announce a major update to the WordPress RSS Feed web part! This release brings a bunch of improvements to help you showcase your WordPress content in even better ways.

What's New:

  • Smarter Settings: I've reorganized the settings to make things clearer. You'll now find:
    • Feed Filter Settings: These are all about choosing which posts to show (tags, categories, etc.).
    • Display Settings: These control how your posts look (title, description, layout, etc.).
    • Better performance: By separating the feed filter settings from the display settings, this speeds up the performance of the web part particularly when editing it. Not all settings changes trigger new feed fetches the way they did previously.
  • Fresh Look:
    • I've added options to: show/hide the post author (if present) and post thumbnails/media (if present)
    • CSS improvements have been made to both the list and the grid layout options to make the post items look less imbalanced.
    • Control how much of the post excerpt is displayed! (0 to hide altogether)
  • Pagination is Here! If you have lots of posts, I've added pagination to help users navigate them, with the option to specify how many posts to display per page.
  • Under the Hood: I've also made some big changes to how the web part works internally, making it more robust and easier to maintain. Thankful for the rigidity of Typescript!

Important Notes:

  • Because I've changed some settings, you might need to reconfigure your web part after updating. But don't worry, it's easy!
  • I've dropped some old settings to make way for the new, more powerful ones.

I hope you enjoy these improvements! If you have any feedback, please let me know.
