The shortcode alone doesn’t seem to work. But when I added the feed ID to the shortcode, the feeds started to populate on my page. * THIS:[wp-rss-aggregator exclude=”feedID”] NOT: [wp-rss-aggregator] * Also, if you insert the shortcode from the WYSIWYG editor, the feed ID should be automatically entered when you select a particular feed. * Plugin Author [Jean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeangalea/) * (@jeangalea) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-not-working-55/#post-4846817) * The shortcode does work, else the whole scope of having this plugin would be defeated. * There might be isolated cases where the feed items are not being displayed, and we are here to help you out if you have that issue, but it is not correct to say that the shortcode in general does not work. * Thread Starter [ajknoll23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajknoll23/) * (@ajknoll23) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-not-working-55/#post-4846818) * It may have been isolated but the shortcode did not work for me, I thought it was a fair assessment at the time. * I decided to go another route. * I’ll now close the topic. * Plugin Author [Jean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeangalea/) * (@jeangalea) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-not-working-55/#post-4846819) * [@galaxyspaceranger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/galaxyspaceranger/) Please email us on [support@wprssaggregator.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-not-working-55/support@wprssaggregator.com?output_format=md) so that we investigate further.
