It there such a plugin in wordpress that can take a list of links to arbitrary websites and return/display the newest content, like for example newest published article?
You're going to want an RSS plugin for this, the best one available seems to be http://www.wprssaggregator.com/
This will let you import RSS feeds from external websites into posts and such.

I have a client with two active Wordpress sites (let's call them A and B). I am currently redesigning site A. Per client request, site A should display on its homepage an RSS feed block of site B's news feed. This includes the featured images from posts in site B's feed. However, I cannot find any way to get these featured images to show up on site A. Wordpress admin panel gives no option in the RSS feed block settings to show featured images; a lot of googling has turned up nothing on how to code this as a default for the RSS feed block in the theme itself (which would be preferable in this case to hard coding the RSS feed import in the theme file).
I wondered if the problem might be on site B's side and requested that the client contact site B's team and make sure they had enabled featured image sharing for their RSS feeds, and some days later was assured that this had been done. However, nothing seems to have changed on my end - the images are still not showing up on site A and I can't even find, say, hidden links to them when using the inspector tool (or anything else which might indicate the images are present but not visible due to CSS etc).
I'm fairly new to Wordpress and this seems like something which would be done commonly and have a straightforward solution, but I'm at a loss. Wordpress's own docs for the RSS block don't mention a possibility of importing images. Is it even possible to customise the block in this way? Will the whole RSS feed section have to be hard coded into the theme files?
The RSS Block doesn't support images, but you can try using a plugin. Both WP RSS Retriever and WP RSS Aggregator support images.
I also recommend manually inspecting the RSS feed to ensure that the featured images are included.
The site is a charity site, which is expected to have a news feed of goings on within the charity and events. Most of the home page is complete. But I don't know exactly how to write the code for an article in bootstrap, so that when I upload it to WordPress, it will interact properly. Allowing me to create new articles, remove old ones, etc. I either need to find out how to do this, or find out if I can use plugins to give me the same effect. This is my first time using WordPress. If you know of even a tutorial or something that helps with the news feed being built in bootstrap to work in WordPress, I would be over the moon. Thank you to anyone who offers their help!
I've tried to find an answer online but all I get are pre-built news theme suggestions. I guess there just that many it drowns out any answers.
The short answer is no.
A bootstrap theme is just a static page. (HTML, CSS, JS, etc.) But WordPress creates all its pages dynamically. This is because all the blog posts are saved in a database. In order to work with WordPress, you would really need to use a WordPress theme. If you know PHP you could easily migrate your bootstrap theme to a WP theme.
There is even a bootstrap starter Theme which might help you to get started: https://de.wordpress.org/themes/wp-bootstrap-starter/
In this case you would really just need to add your markup, styles and scripts to the project.
I've been asked to integrate a blog into an existing website.
The blog content will be hosted with an external blog provider (im thinking wordpress and blogger) and I would then import the posts onto the clients site via an ATOM feed as this is the simplest way I can see of doing all this.
The issue I'm facing is that when the blog list is displayed on the clients site they want to use a grid based layout with a cover image. Another stipulation of the design is that the cover image should also not be part of the actual blog post content.
Ideally it would be great if the blogging provider (wordpress/blogger) supported uploading additional metadata and images that do not go into the blog post's HTML content.
I cant find any way of doing this currently and am wondering if I have any options other than rolling my own mini blogging platform for the client or installing wordpress locally and setting that up.
Any ideas?
WordPress will let you upload a custom header image. See: http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Headers - this will be useful if you want the same header image on every page. If you want a different header image 'per post' then you'll need a plugin to do that. There are some good plugins that do that in the WP plugin repo: http://wordpress.org/plugins/
I need to implement photo gallery on wordpress 3.6
It must support these features:
different languages support
categories and subcategories (albums)
loading images with AJAX on website pages
I've tried some plugins (Nextgen and similar) but i can't find how to add description and name of each photo in different languages.
I've also tried to use standart wordpress functionality (media library, posts) but i don't think that it is correct solution.
Is it possible to implement this gallery with any plugins? Or it will be faster to write one new?
1) Have you checked this link for ajax image gallery plugins?
2) Try to use qtranslate plugin for multilingual wordpress site
These things might be helpful to you.
Thanks
I Have stumbled across CNN's website today http://edition.cnn.com/TECH/ they seem to have several other blogs content on their blog from mashable and wired. I would imagine this is automated. I was wondering any one was aware of how to do this it looks like they are using Wordpress as their blogging platform.
Thanks

You could use a RSS feed to pull in content from other blogs onto your blog. Have a look around on google there are loads of tutorials.
