Remove RSS from header

That sounds really strange, but I just wanna ask to rule everything out. Are that link printed by using add_theme_support( 'automatic-feed-links' ); or is it from something else?

I found the `// Add default posts and comments RSS feed links to head.
add_theme_support( ‘automatic-feed-links’ );`

It just doesn’t seem to want to leave!

Investigating further..

Somthing to do with Yoast SEO plugin maybe?

Advanced – Yoast SEO

RSS feed settings

This feature is used to automatically add content to your RSS, more specifically, it’s meant to add links back to your blog and your blog posts, so dumb scrapers will automatically add these links too, helping search engines identify you as the original source of the content.

This is the full part of the source that I cannot seem to figure out…

<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”RSS 2.0″ href=”https://grantdb.ca/feed/”><title>GrantDB – Interesting Things Around The Internet and Places I Explore</title>

Thanks for checking!

The thing I think is really weird is the title="RSS 2.0" part, the title is usually something like “Site Name Feed”. Could the link be hardcoded in the theme?

That’s what I thought also, I just haven;’t been able to find where! It doesn’t bother me that the feed is there but the pages will not validate with the title tag on the rss. THat drives me crazy!

Do you of any way to search all of the files for the call? Like some kind of plugin so I wouldn’t have to manually go through them.

Thanks!

I’d download the whole WordPress installation with plugins, themes, and everything and then do a Find in folders for “RSS 2.0” or something using my favorite text editor and see what comes up!

I found it hard coded into one of my theme files.
Thanks for a great plugin!
