Redirecting RSS

  • I’m using post-type posts (external videos) on my blog. Unfortunately, they don’t show up on the blog’s main page or in RSS. I could use category RSS for that, but I don’t know how to make the site’s RSS point out to the category RSS. Could anyone tell me how to do it?

    Also, is it possible to include post-type posts in a Calendar or change Calendar’s feed?

    // ADDS POST TYPES TO RSS FEED
function myfeed_request($qv) {
	if (isset($qv['feed']) && !isset($qv['post_type']))
		$qv['post_type'] = array('ve_products', 'post');
	return $qv;
}
add_filter('request', 'myfeed_request');

    I was able to use this to add my CPT (ve_products) to my rss feed. You can add more CPTs to that array.

    Or, you could make a custom feed just for your CPT, which I’ve also done, and works quite well

    And you could have your CPT posts on your main blog page if you wanted by adding them to a query in index.php…..

    Oh, that sounds great! Which file should I edit and where in the file should I put the code?

    The code I posted goes in functions.php

    I must have done something wrong. I added the code to functions.php in wp-includes and received this error:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_filter() in /home/xxxxxx/ftp/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1776

    It works! Thank you so much! I added the code to the external-videos’ plugin php and it works in the feed! Still not in the calendar though. Is there a way to either add custom posts to the blog’s archive or to point out custom posts’ feed as calendar’s feed?

    I have the external-videos feed. It came with the plugin, so that’s not a problem. It’s just that it’s mostly a video site, so there are no posts other than videos.

    added this as a feature to the plugin. You can now set a checkbox in the admin page that you want the video posts added to the RSS feed of the site.
