 * Hi,
 * I am using WP RSS Aggregator and it is has been happily reading in feeds for 
   some time and the RSS feed output is working great.
 * The W3 Feed Validation Service is however giving the error “Unable to validate,
   due to hardcoded resource limits (feed length > 5000000 bytes)”. I think this
   is then the cause of an IFTTT routine I have not working.
 * I would like to keep all history in the main RSS feed, but I am looking for ways
   to have a feed that works for recent items. Is it possible to attach a parameter
   to the feed to show only recent entries, or to only have header information in
   the feed rather than the full body of the post.
 * A separate feed would be fine or parameters on the existing one.
 * Does anyone have any suggestions for this?
 * Thanks in advance,
   Steve

   plugin is limited to the aggregation of feeds and it does not have an out-of-
   the-box option to generate feeds from posts on your site. However, if you’d like
   to setup a custom RSS feed, please check out the following article on this. [https://kb.wprssaggregator.com/article/219-how-to-create-custom-rss-feeds](https://kb.wprssaggregator.com/article/219-how-to-create-custom-rss-feeds)
