FeedWordPress Advanced Filters version 0.5 released!

After my november announcement of the plugin I was working on, I’m happy to present a decent version of Feedwordpress Advanced Filters.

The setting ‘ Point to local comment feeds on this website’ doesn’t seem to do much if you point your permalinks to the original site.
