RSS Feed

  • Hi,

    I am new to wordpress and am in the middles of developing a blog site for a client. He wishes to have a link which allows users to sign up to his RSS feed. I am unsure how to proceed with this.

    Is there a built-in wordpress feature which allows RSS feeds to be set up (if so how is this done?) or would a plug-in be required (if so any suggestions and advice on how to set this up would be great)?

    All help greatly appreciated

    Thanks

  • Your blog automatically has its own RSS feed. You can then simply link it on your blog; users can then subscribe to it any way they would like.

    Your feed is located at the equivalent URL for your blog: https://www.yourblog.com/feed

    Also, you should have something like this in the header.php of your theme (it goes in the head section):

    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> RSS Feed" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />

    thanks for your responses.

    so wordpress automatically creates an rss feed in wp-rss2.php (or one of the other files)?

    i also need a link in the sidebar giving users the ability to subscribe to the feed. is this possible?

    Yes, just create a regular link with <?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?> as the href.
