Oh, and the only solid solution is to add:

wp();
if (is_feed() ) {
  die;
}
gzip_compression();

wp-blog-header.php

I didn’t demand an answer “now” in any response. I was given guesses, and when it was finally admitted that they were guesses, I was given an alternative that I never asked for.

“Actually correct” is a matter of opinion. I don’t need to limit access to that extent, I do need to eliminate feeds. If I wanted to password lock the directory, I would’ve done so. It seems fairly jackassish to me to presume that you or anyone knows better what would work for me in my situation than I do. The question I asked has a specific answer, and “why don’t you do something else entirely” isn’t it. No one asked me for more information, they second-guessed me. If I wanted some other “solution” my question would not have been so specifically worded.

But if you’re inclined to take offense when someone says “please tell me the correct way to do X” and you don’t and instead suggest Y when they’ve said they only want to know about X, then I guess you’re so inclined.

Oh, and spitballing = throwing possible solutions at something until it something sticks. In other words, guessing. If you know how to do something, you don’t have to do that.

How is it being a jackass to say I don’t need guesses, I need answers? I can guess all day long on my own. There’s no point in answering a question if you’re just as unsure as the person asking it, especially when the asker is explicit that they need a sure fix.

I’m entirely calm, but I asked about removing feeds and said that I needed a definitive answer, not guesses, and certainly not suggestions to do other things that obviously will not serve my needs.

I haven’t demanded anything, but my question was explicit, and I don’t need a runaround, I need something that actually works and does what I need to do. I’m not going to say thank you for useless non-help.

I asked how to remove feeds, that’s all. I need an answer here, not spitballing.

Hmm, I see multiple feed-*.php files in my wp-includes folder. I had deleted those previously and it borked the entire install and I had to reupload all those files. Why would feed-rss2-comments.php need to be deleted and not feed-atom-comments.php, feed-atom.php, feed-rdf.php, etc. etc.?

Where does a file entitled feed-rss2-comments.php reside?
