    Hello,

    How many feeds a feedwordpress plugin in wordpress can handle.

    I added 2000 feeds and it was not able to handle.

    So would like to find is there any maximum limit for feedwordpress plugin to handle the feeds.

    It's probably more a question of your hosting and how much it can handle. 2000 feeds is definitely too much for any normal hosting account, even a dedicated server.
    Pulling that much content from outside sources is a huge drain on the processing power of the server. I can't imagine why you would need so many, but I can almost say for sure that if that's what you want to do, you will need a really fast and powerful server to handle it.

    You could use YahooPipes to filter and process those feeds, then use the pipe feed for FeedPress. But like @hmansfield said, 2000 is way too many and you really need to trim that down considerably. Maybe categorize them into multiple pipes?

    Sorry for the old bump, I was looking into pipes and tried to do this, but for some reason it doesn't export the categories into the RSS feed. Am I doing it wrong? When I look at the original feed I see:
    <category><![CDATA[real category]]></category>
    <category><![CDATA[tag1]]></category>
    <category><![CDATA[tag2]]></category>
    
    Code (markup):
    But the exported pipe doesn't list the categories so when I import them into my blog, it just goes un-categorized.

    Btw, as a side problem with that, why does it export my tags as categories?

    Thanks!

    I think it depends on the type of feeds that are going into the pipe. The pipe output may be a different format. You will have to "rewrite" the feed output, and there is a module to do that.

    I would not rely on other peoples tags however, or their categories.
