RSS Comments-Feed

Whew, Thanks for spotting this nasty little bug!
Just released version 1.3.2, having that one squashed.
regards & a nice weekend!

Thank YOU for squashing ?? and respect to your work and fast reaction.

Logically, now they’re no more feeds to articles with limited access. Maybe they’re usecases where users wish to be informed even obout this feeds – respectively about the fact that a hidden comment is added. In this case it would be an idea not only to hide the entry in the RSS-feed but to export the link to the comment (insteadf of the content itself) – which then requires the password.

Maybe an idea for 1.3.3 …

best regards

Just an addendum: version 1.3.3 is out. Comment feeds should now behave the same like a regular post (showing you a 404 or sending you to the login or fallback page etc.) Anyway, a proper WordPress login cookie would be required to view the comment feed. In a browser like firefox this works well, but I am not sure (and in fact I doubt) that it will work in a feedreader application.
Thanks for your suggestion, but my primary usecase for the plugin is hiding content, (or pretending that a certain content does not exist to the public). Offering a comment notification feed (publicly revealing the Post permalink and the number of comments) would be counterproductive. But I’m pretty sure there are some tools out there covering the use case you mentioned (like email notifications on new comments and such).

I agree, that in really sensitive cases the notification “would be counterproductive”.
