    I’m using Flexibility 3 and I’ve removed the RSS subscription area from my header.

    Without that option on the header, what can I do to ensure that people can still subscribe to my site’s RSS feed somehow?

    If the theme was done well, your site will have a meta tag with the RSS feed in the source’s head area. Most RSS readers now actually ask for just the site URL, and this meta tag is what they look for.

    You can also of course add a link to the feed in a sidebar widget, or your menu area as a custom link.

    Hey James. I’m totally new to all this; where would I find the meta tag you’re talking about? Tx

    Sure, just view your site’s source in your browser and look for something like this:

    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Your Site's Title" href="https://example.com/feed/" />

    If you see that, then most modern feed readers will pick up your feed by just getting your site’s main URL.

    Hey James,
    I think I’m good but I just wanted to double check. Here are the 2 I found when viewing my site source:

    <link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”RSS 2.0″ href=”https://www.mysitetitle/feed/&#8221; /><link

    and

    <link rel=”alternate” type=”text/xml” title=”RSS .92″ href=”https://www.mysitetitle.com/feed/rss/&#8221; /><link

    I assume one of those shows that my feed will get picked up?

    Thanks so much for your help.

    Yep, most feed readers will pick up the RSS 2.0 feed. ??
