How to create RSS Feed w/icon

  • https://www.shakingthegates.com/blog/ is the site in question.

    I went live a few days ago and imported from an existing blogger acct. When using other themes the RSS icon shows up in the firefox address bar. It functions as normal, you click on it and firefox adds a live bookmark.

    When using the current “Industrial” theme that I had up there this logo does not work. I did manage to find the RSS2 feed which works from a manually created live bookmark.

    How can I get the RSS logo/feed to show back up and work from the address bar?

    I’m not sure if its because the RSS2 is not a .xml extension or what but I am getting tons of requests for the “easy feed.”

    Thanks for the help, I’m new to this.

  • In the theme’s header.php, between the <head> tags, add a line like this:

    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> RSS Feed" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />

    That’ll help modern browsers “auto-discover” your feed.

    There is a site feedicons.com where you can get feedicons to match your site.
