How can I add the pages to my RSS feed?

If you want multiple feeds –

https://yourdomain.com/feed/ (will show only posts)
https://yourdomain.com/feed/?post_type=page (will show only pages)

If you want one condensed feed –

Add this to your functions.php file –

add_filter('request', 'feed_request');
function feed_request($qv){
	$rss_post_types = array('post', 'page');
	if(isset($qv['feed']) && !isset($qv['post_type']))
		$qv['post_type'] = $rss_post_types;
	return $qv;
}

now this is your feed URL –

https://yourdomain.com/feed/ (will show both posts and pages)

Genius! Thanks.

I hate the idea of using addons for every little thing. I’ll see how this works out. And also thanks for pointing out how the query in the URL works. Basically the feature is already there. At the end of the day pages are posts types! That’s right. ??

Thanks again, really appreciated.

By the way, a slightly unrelated question. Adding the pages to the feed exposed a page (friends links) where I have added links to directories and stuff like that. I really wanted to keep this page hidden from Google. Is there any way to exclude this page from the feed? Or is it maybe better to use a different template for it and maybe use a robots noindex tag in it?

Thanks a lot.

Adding ‘noindex’ should work, but it is of course a pain to have to have two separate templates. I can’t think of a way of doing it through the request action off the top of my head, but it is a good question and I may well have to research that a little.

One thought – add a filter to your header.php file for the re event text and then just alter it through the filter on the pages where you don’t want Google to index them? Hope that makes sense!

Hello,

thanks for your answer and sorry, no, I’m not sure I understand what you mean re: the filter in the header.php. Soz ??

Ok, Im on my tab with no code at the mo, I’ll try and take 5 to post a quick example when I’m in the office tomorrow – it should hopefully be pretty straight forward!

hi Duck Boy, that’s very kind. Cheers ??

Hmm, it looks easier than I first though…

add this to your functions.php file –

function make_page_noindex(){
	echo '<meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">';
}

and this to your page.php file just above get_header(); (or what ever template you want it in, obviously changing 69 for your desired page ID) –

if(is_page(69)) :
	add_action('wp_head', 'make_page_noindex');
{
endif;

You’re absolutely right! Thanks a lot. Take care. ??

You are welcome – and could you please mark this thread as ‘Resolved’ on the right.
