This works great. Does anyone know how to turn the feeds back on? For example, if I called fb_disable_feed() and then later wanted to do something like bf_enable_feed().

The problem with HTTPS and HTTP was something to do with caching on my Windows PC despite closing and restarting the web browsers. RSS is blocked correctly after rebooting.

I updated functions.php with the disable RSS code and it works perfectly for the secure URL: https:// mysite.com/feed, however the non-secure URL mysite.com/feed still shows the RSS feeds in both IE8 and Firefox!

Any suggestions why RSS is blocked in HTTPS but not in HTTP are appreciated.

Thanks

Option 3: remove the feed rewrite rules with a plugin.

Hiya,

I was eventually directed on the WordPress forum to te following post which helped me to pick out one specific category for a feed:
http://www.problogdesign.com/wordpress/how-to-edit-the-wordpress-rss-feed/

Also, I needed to get rid of the RSS icon in the address bar for another site, and Basti's solution above didn't help as I didn't have the particular line of code in my header.php, but I found this solution from hollywoodgrind on the WordPress forum: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-feed-from-wp_head

Now I'm sorted

Is there a way to disable only some of the feeds? If WordPress is used as a CMS on a site that also contains a blog, then can all posts within the 'blog' still have their own feed, but any other posts used for the site itself be disabled?

This works for categories, but the post's feed still remains.

i.e: using a permalink structure of /%category%/%postname%/

http://domain/category/postname/feed/

I've got a problem with comments feed on http://drumliber.ro

Instead of seeing a page or article, sometimes (quite often) I get the comments feed of another random article. It's completely random, I cannot see a rule for this bug.

It might be a server problem, but there should be a way to fix it in the application. A way should be to check if the link in the address bar contains /feed and only then to show a feed. How can one do that?

Thanks a lot!

Yeah, I just found it:

You have to clear the line in your theme's header:

(just for the case the code above won't get formatted right: there should be a "link" tag with "href" = bloginfo('rss2_url') or sth similar.)

Now you have to get rid off your comment feeds, too. There's a hook "post_comments_feed_link". See this post:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/288260

This works for me, if anyone got a better solution, share it, but I think it's quite simple.

Hi,

thanks for the tip! It's pretty close to what I did, the difference was that I did a redirect to the homepage. Your solution is better because the visitor will get a feedback.

Just one issue to make it perfect: Any idea how to remove that rss-icon in the browser (adress bar) - this one indicates that a webpage has actually got a feed... It's just cosmetic, but the visitor could get confused by this.

Best regards and thanks, thanks, thanks for sharing all that great stuff.
