What is RSS?

Rss is becoming more and more popular, if you’re not familar with it, you may read this ariticle by Darren Rowse, who is a very successful blogger. RSS help Darren promote his site and keep his readers, actually I’m one of them:)

What WP More Feeds does?

WP More Feeds just simply generate more feed links for category page and tag page, you can call it Category Feed and Tag Feed. That will give the readers more choices.

How to find the feeds?

WordPress supports RSS feed, if you have a look at the source page of this page , you may find some code like this in the head:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="**" href="**" />

That’s it, the RSS Feed, which is for the whole site. If you install WP More Feeds, you can get another feed on category or tag pages.

Actually, most browers will find this feed for you today, for Firefox, you’ll find a RSS icon on the right side of the address bar.

    Hi Baron,

    Glad to see you like this plugin.

  3. H

    Good plugin

  4. Hi there.
    Could this plugin help show categories feeds even when I use feedsmith ™
    Thanks,
    Tal.

    Hi Tal,

    If you look at the page source, you’ll find the feed link are still there, like

    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="**" href="**" />

    feedsmith will redirect the url(href) of this feed

    If you use category feed, feedsmith will leave it alone, but for tag feed, feedsmith will redirect it to the feedburner url.

    So I don’t think wp more feeds work with feedsmith, more feeds just provide more feeds url, if you got hundreds of tags, you can get hundreds of feeds links, but I don’t think you can manage all these links in feedburner.

    Sorry for this, mate:(

    I am just wondering if I misunderstood anything: wordpress already has a category feed incorporated, I understand it lacks a tag feed but why would you also offer a category feed when the built in one works?

  7. Hi, It looks this is a great plugin, but I think it doesn’t work for my blog.

    This is what I see on my site’s source:

    !--WP More Feeds 0.15 (http://www.mashget.com) Begin -->

    Looks It’s empty, right?

  8. Hi Ovidiu.

    More feeds doesn’t generate rss feeds page, it just generate some feeds url in the category, tag, and post page, all the feeds url are supported by wordpress.

    If you look the source of this page, you’ll find something like this in the head:

    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Changelog | MashGet RSS Feed" href="http://www.mashget.com/feed/?tag=changelog" />

    .....

    That’s what more feeds do

  9. Hi Andrew, now is working great!

    Do you know if this plugin works for WPMU?

  10. ah, now I udnerstand. your plugin descriptions says:

    WP More Feeds will simply generate another feed for category and tag pages, you can call it Category Feed and Tag Feed. That will give the readers more choices.

    that sounds like it generates another feed :-)

    I use a similar plugin to yours, to display the relevant feeds in a sidebar: http://ketsugi.com/software/wordpress/feeds-widget-for-wordpress/ you can see it in action in my sidebar (http://pacura.ru)

  11. Hi Alejandro,

    I should admit that I’m not very familiar with MU yet, but I think you can try, as this plugin is very simple.

  12. Thanks Andrew!, I will try it.

  13. ovidiu: WordPress does have tag feeds. Just add /feed/ to the end of any of the normal Tag URLs.

    WordPress can generate a feed for *any* page it can display.

  14. ovidiu

    thx, I was not aware of that :-)

  15. Hi Ovidiu,

    That’s right, I think I’ll make a change to the description.

    Thanks for trying this plugin.

    Regards,
    Andrew
