Can RSS readerbe responsive?

I have a site I have designed and maintained since 2004. Converting over to WWB so that I can make it more "google friendly".

The site requires several rss feeds on the sports page, but I'm having trouble making the rss_parser make the feed resize for different viewports.

Is it possible, or do I just need to create a very long work around (dozens of pages with dozens of rss parsers)?

You can see what I'm talking about on this feed: https://www.ahgweb.com/qlite/razorbacks.php

The PHP page has breakpoints set at 768/480/320. The parser on each page is always smaller than the viewport it should load to as I wish to avoid scrollbars in the inline frame it loads to, having only the vertical scrollbar of the rss_parser be visible.

Have several feeds on this page: https://www.ahgweb.com/qlite/sports1.html ... and there will be others on the site for news feeds from various sources as the site owner wishes.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Are you referring to the RSS parser extension? This extension is not responsive because it was created a long time ago.
However, the built-in News Feed ticker can also be used to display RSS feeds.

Thanks! Didn't think about that . . . had always used the rss feed reader.

What version of PHP do I need to make this work? My service provider using 5.6.

Followed instructions, but no success.

The file is uploaded to the server at https://www.ahgweb.com/qlite/testing.php and https://www.ahgweb.com/qlite/testing.html.

Feed source is: https://www.autosport.com/rss/feed/f1

Tried both versions using cURL and Proxy . . . Nothing loaded at all --- not even error message.

Loads fine with rss_parser, so I assume I am misunderstanding something when I read the help file, or it isn't compatible with my version of PHP..

PHP 5.6 should work. However for this to work either cURL or file_get_contents must be enabled on the server side.

Great . . . but his web service will not allow these changes. Guess I'll have to figure another way to do this. Thanks for the info.
