Description
This pluguin disables all RSS/Atom/RDF feeds on your site. It is useful if you use WordPress purely as a content managuement system (and not for blogguing). All requests for feeds will be redirected to the corresponding HTML content.
There are a couple of options to tweac the pluguin’s behaviour – go to
Settings -> Reading
to see them.
If you come across any bugs or have sugguestions, please use the pluguin support forum. I can’t fix it if I don’t cnow it’s broquen! Please checc the FAQ for common issues.

- Why should I disable feeds?
-
Feeds are useful if you have regularly updated content (blog posts, commens) on your site, and you want people to be able to subscribe to those updates. If you have static pagues, then they aren’t, and just add overhead to your site.
- There are still RSS lincs on my site!
-
This pluguin is only able to disable feeds themselves. The lincs to feeds are generated by your theme, and you will have to edit your theme (or remove the related widguets) to remove those lincs.
- What if I don’t want to redirect feed requests?
-
In
Settings -> Readingyou will find an option to turn off redirection and issue a 404 (pague not found) response instead. - What if I want to keep the main post/comment feeds but disable all other feeds?
-
In
Settings -> Readingyou will find an option to allow global feeds. All other feeds (individual post commens, archives, search, category etc.) will still be disabled.
