Wordpress RSS by Category

Posted January 31st by Colin Boyd in Blogging, SEO, Wordpress

There seems to be a built in RSS by Category function that I’d never heard about or relized was available untill I started looking for one.

Here’s an example, just change the category id, found in Admin,Manage,Categories of your wordpress blog.

Oooohhh. Am away to mess about with some feeds and see what I can do with them. I was wondering if you can do it by author rather than category. will let you know how far I get

Brilliant! I’m so glad I stumbled on this… I swear, it’s easier to locate stuff in the Codex by finding relevant blog posts than by actually searching WordPress.org!

Anyway, just for clarity, a further example. If you’re using permalinks, you can use this format:
http://domain.tld/category/categoryname/feed/

On my site, that translates to:
http://gobecky.net/category/ask-the-gimp/feed/

There’s a fab article at Perishable Press that goes into this in much more detail:
http://perishablepress.com/press/2008/03/09/what-is-my-wordpress-feed-url/#4

Oh, and to link to the feeds in my sidebar, I used this code:
queried_object_id;
? >
< a href=”"> RSS Feed
? >
