    Hi, I’ve been experimenting with Simply Static and find it very easy to use and the results are amazing ?? .

    I have one question, besides the expected generated folders I find two extra folders containing index.xml files:
    /Feed/index.xml
    /comments/feed/index.xml

    In each of these .xml files are contents similar to these:

    From /comments/feed/index.xml:

    ><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><rss version="2.0"
    	xmlns:content="https://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
    	xmlns:dc="https://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
    	xmlns:atom="https://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
    	xmlns:sy="https://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/"
    	
    	>
    <channel>
    	<title>
    	Comments for mysite	</title>
    	<atom:link href="/mysite-static/en/comments/feed/" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />
    	<link>/mysite-static</link>
    	<description></description>

    </channel>
    </rss>


    And from feed/index.xml:

    ><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><rss version="2.0"
    	xmlns:content="https://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
    	xmlns:wfw="https://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"
    	xmlns:dc="https://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
    	xmlns:atom="https://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
    	xmlns:sy="https://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/"
    	xmlns:slash="https://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/"
    	>

    </channel>
    </rss>

    I don’t have any comments or feeds enabled on my wordpress site, so are these files and folders necessary for the correct operation of the static site? And if not, how can I suppress them being generated by Simply Static?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hi there, so glad to hear that you’re enjoying the results with Simply Static and finding it easy to use. These files wouldn’t be necessary if you’re not using them. To suppress them, you could try using the “Exclude” feature located in Settings under General. Here’s a bit more information on how it works: https://docs.simplystatic.com/article/112-how-to-exclude-content-from-simply-static

    Another option is to try using a hook in your theme’s functions.php to disable feeds in your environment.

    Hey @acp693,

    we will also add an easy option to deactivate all feed-related URLs from the static export in the next update!

    We received quite some feedback regarding this, and ultimately, you (our users) decide what we do! ??
