How To – Display latest posts from RSS Feed.

Starting since the plugin version 1.5.7 of RSS Post Importer, you can display latest posts that were fetched from RSS Feed anywhere on your site. You can configure displaying by a few parameters, like what category of RSS should be displayed, how many posts and some more. The posts will be displayed in descending order - from newer to older. There are two ways how to do this - using widget or a shortcode.
