Vill du skapa ett eget RSS-flöde i WordPress?
WordPress levereras med ett RSS-flöde som standard som visar innehållet på din website. Men om du har en viss typ av content kanske du vill skapa ett customize RSS-flöde för det.
I den här artikeln kommer vi att visa dig hur du enkelt skapar ett eget RSS-flöde i WordPress.
Varför skapa ett Custom RSS-flöde i WordPress?
WordPress har ett inbyggt RSS-flöde och du kan enkelt add to custom content eller thumbnails till det.
Men om du har en viss typ av content eller en custom post type på din WordPress-webbplats, kanske du vill skapa ett custom RSS-flöde för det.
Om du till exempel levererar exklusivt innehåll till dina prenumeranter från specifika författare, kan du skapa ett anpassat RSS-flöde för att hålla dina prenumeranter informerade om innehållet. Detta kan förbättra din search engine ranking.
Dessutom ger custom feeds dig mer frihet genom att aktivera dig att add to författarens namn, publiceringsdatum eller annan relevant information, vilket ger mer details till dina användare.
Med detta sagt, låt oss se hur man enkelt skapar customize RSS-flöden i WordPress, steg för steg.
Note: Du bör göra en komplett backup av din WordPress website innan du gör några större ändringar på en live website.
Så här skapar du ett Customize RSS-flöde i WordPress
Du kan enkelt skapa ett anpassat RSS-flöde i WordPress genom att lägga till anpassad kod i ditt temas functions.php-fil.
Detta feed kommer att visa rubrik, link, publicerat datum, auktorisering och excerpt från posts på din WordPress site.
Tänk dock på att minsta error när du skriver den här koden kan förstöra din website och göra den otillgänglig.
Det är därför vi rekommenderar att du använder WPCode. Det är det bästa WordPress code snippets plugin på marknaden som gör det säkert och enkelt att lägga till custom code på din website.
Först måste du installera och aktivera pluginet WPCode. Detaljerade instruktioner finns i vår guide för nybörjare om hur man installerar ett plugin för WordPress.
Note: Du kan använda det gratis WPCode plugin för denna tutorial. Men om du upgraderar till den betalda planen kommer du att låsa upp fler funktioner som testläget, molnbiblioteket, villkorlig logik och mer.
Efter aktivering, besök Code Snippets ” + Add Snippet page från WordPress admin sidebar. Här klickar du på knappen ”Use Snippet” under alternativet ”Add Your Custom Code (New Snippet)”,
Detta tar dig till sidan ”Create Custom Snippet”, där du kan börja med att skriva in ett namn för code snippet.
Välj sedan alternativet ”PHP Snippet” från dropdown-menyn Code Type till höger.
När du har gjort det, add to följande custom code i boxen ”Code Preview”:
add_action('init', 'customRSS');
function customRSS(){
add_feed('Feed', 'customRSSFunc');
}function customRSSFunc(){
get_template_part('rss', 'feedname');
/**
* Template Name: Custom RSS Template - Feedname
*/
$postCount = 5; // The number of posts to show in the feed
$posts = query_posts('showposts=' . $postCount);
header('Content-Type: '.feed_content_type('rss-http').'; charset='.get_option('blog_charset'), true);
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="'.get_option('blog_charset').'"?'.'>';
?>
<rss version="2.0"

<?php do_action('rss2_ns'); ?>>
<channel>
<title><?php bloginfo_rss('name'); ?> - Feed</title>
<atom:link href="<?php self_link(); ?>" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />
<link><?php bloginfo_rss('url') ?></link>
<description><?php bloginfo_rss('description') ?></description>
<lastBuildDate><?php echo mysql2date('D, d M Y H:i:s +0000', get_lastpostmodified('GMT'), false); ?></lastBuildDate>
<language><?php echo get_option('rss_language'); ?></language>
<sy:updatePeriod><?php echo apply_filters( 'rss_update_period', 'hourly' ); ?></sy:updatePeriod>
<sy:updateFrequency><?php echo apply_filters( 'rss_update_frequency', '1' ); ?></sy:updateFrequency>
<?php do_action('rss2_head'); ?>
<?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<item>
<title><?php the_title_rss(); ?></title>
<link><?php the_permalink_rss(); ?></link>
<pubDate><?php echo mysql2date('D, d M Y H:i:s +0000', get_post_time('Y-m-d H:i:s', true), false); ?></pubDate>
<dc:creator><?php the_author(); ?></dc:creator>
<guid isPermaLink="false"><?php the_guid(); ?></guid>
<description><![CDATA[<?php the_excerpt_rss() ?>]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<?php the_excerpt_rss() ?>]]></content:encoded>
<?php rss_enclosure(); ?>
<?php do_action('rss2_item'); ?>
</item>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</channel>
</rss>
Du kan nu ändra namnet på ditt custom RSS-flöde till vad du gillar genom att ersätta Feed-texten efter add_feed-raden i koden.
När du har skapat detta feed kommer du att kunna viewa det genom att gå till RSS-flödets URL. Den kommer att gilla följande: yourdomain.com/feed/feedname.
Därefter rullar du ner till sectionen för insertion och väljer läget ”Auto Insert”.
Det anpassade RSS-flödet skapas automatiskt vid aktivering av koden.
Slutligen rullar du tillbaka högst upp och togglar omkopplaren ”Inaktiverad” till ”Aktiv”.
Därefter klickar du på knappen ”Save Snippet” för att lagra dina settings.
När du har gjort det går du till Settings ” Permalinks page från WordPress dashboard.
Här klickar du bara på knappen ”Save Changes” för att spola omskrivningsreglerna och generera nya permalänkar för din website.
Du kommer nu att kunna viewa ditt custom RSS-flöde genom att besöka yourdomain.com/feed/feedname URL.
Här är ett exempel på det anpassade RSS-flödet på vår demo WordPress website:
Bonus: Felsökning av problem med Custom RSS-flöde
Här är en lista över några error som kan uppstå när du försöker skapa ett custom RSS-flöde och hur du kan lösa dem.
Jag får ett 404 error när jag försöker view min feed!
Om du får 404 error när du försöker view your custom feed, kontrollera då om du använder korrekt feednamn i din URL.
Det måste vara det som du angav i add_feed-funktionen. Om du har korrekt feedname kanske dina omskrivningsregler inte har spolats korrekt. You can easily do that by re-save your permalinks.
Om du har sparat om dina permalänkar och problemet fortfarande kvarstår kan du tvinga fram en omskrivningsspolning genom att lägga till den här koden i ditt WPCode snippet bredvid funktionen add_ feed:
global $wp_rewrite;
$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
Min feed är inte bekräftad!
W3C erbjuder en tjänst för validering av feed som allow you att bekräfta den resulterande feeden och ger specifika details om var din feed inte bekräftas.
You kan sedan enkelt editera code snippet för att lösa dessa issues.
Jag får ett <language /> bekräftelse error!
Detta är vanligt när RSS-språket inte har konfigurerats i din WordPress-installation.
För att göra detta kan du lägga till följande kod i WPCode för att uppdatera språkalternativet:
function rssLanguage(){
update_option('rss_language', 'en');
}
add_action('admin_init', 'rssLanguage');
När du har gjort det, edit det andra argumentet i funktionen update_option för att ändra språket till det som du är obligatorisk. Kontrollera den fullständiga listan över RSS-språkkoder.
När du har save snippet, error kommer att tas bort, och du kommer att kunna view din custom RSS-flöde.

Following this tutorial, for some reason changing the $postCount does not work.
Eg,
$postCount = 20; // The number of posts to show in the feed
Only by changing the default number inside of Wordpress Reading settings does it work. Very weird. How do we overwrite the wordpress settings, or stop the wordpress settings from overriding our code?
WPBeginner Support
Your specific theme may be overriding the number of posts to show, we would first recommend checking with the support for your specific theme and they should be able to assist.

Is there any way to make this permanent? I keep having to repeat this step every few weeks when the theme is updated.
WPBeginner Support
For that, you would want to create a child theme following our guide below:

Administratör
Dexter Nelson
Thanks. But doesn’t that mean when the theme is updated I’ll have to update the child theme? If that’s the case and I have to put in the work either way, I might as well put in the work to create and maintain a plugin and help out others instead of just myself, right?
WPBeginner Support
Child themes should not be affected by updates to the parent theme but if you have the ability to create a plugin then you can certainly go down that path to help others as well.

Hi, is it possible to change de order of the posts in my feeds without creating a new custom feed? I want to use the current feed files but just want to change the displayed order of theme. Using PHP queries as an example, changing order from DESC to RAND()
I will appreciate you help. Thanks.

Great post! I definitely fall under the rookie status. Many feed readers/aggregators don’t seems to like the /feed/ URL structure, even through the xml returned validates. Is there a way to append the url to end with rss.xml?

Did you get this to work with .xml at the end?
JDURAN
Sorry to say, however, implementing the codes for custom rss has effectively wiped out my entire blog. Having to do a restore and it is taking a long time to get my blog back up. Any advise?
Mark
You need to connect to your site via FTP or your hosting’s file browser in cPanel, and simply remove what you added. If you added the code as a custom plugin, then just rename the plugin folder. If you added the code in functions.php, edit the file and remove the code. Don’t forget to backup the file before editing. Hope this helps for the next time.

Fantastic! This works as advertised!

Never mind, it does. I had a bug with YOAST SEO that with the /category/ prefix removal. I have warned them of it I hope they will fix it.

Doesn’t work anymore.
I got a 404 error, so I activated debug mode. Debug mode says ”Notice: The Called Constructor Method For WP_Widget Is Deprecated Since Version 4.3.0! Use __construct()”

Ok, I think the problem was elsewhere and this notice is from a different plugin.

unfortunately this is restricted in its usefulness. inserting screenshots and sample pages would be very helpful, particularly for amateurs/rookies like me.

How would you add multiple custom feeds? Couldn’t get an array to work.

Got it to work neatly thanks to birgire at Stack exchange:
add_action( ’init’, ’custom_feeds’ );
function custom_feeds()
{
foreach( array( ’feedname1’, ’feedname2’ ) as $name )
{
add_feed( $name,
function() use ( $name )
{
get_template_part( ’rss’, $name );
}
);

My feed is OK when this code is added:

I only remove it as per your instructions, which is to remove it after reloading wordpress.

I would also like some assistance as Brian below. For the full text in the RSS instead of the post excerpt.
Thanks in advance.

I am trying to add a second RSS feed that is full text (my first RSS feed is summary). If I wanted this custom RSS feed to be full text instead of summary excerpt, what would I change?
Thanks so much!
Steve Marks
Thanks for this. Just what I was looking for!
I had an issue when I used add_feed(). I could view the RSS feed in the browser absolutely fine, but it would return a 404 when I entered the URL into a third party application (ie. MailChimp, W3C feed validator etc). I had tried flushing the permalinks etc.
The only way I could get round the issue was to create a new blank page and select the template as the one you’ve outlined in this article.
Not sure why it didn’t work, but hopefully this offers a viable solution for others in this situation.
Thanks again!
Josh McClanahan
Your article is right on the path of what I was looking for. One question I have (as a noob to RSS), how can I add a link to an RSS feed?
The site that I need this for is a church and would like to have a custom feed that would make it easier for our members to be alerted to newly posted sermon posts (that have mp3 download links).
Currently, the feed shows the text for the links that I have created on the posts for the sermons. But it only acts as text. Any help would be appreciated.
Josh McClanahan
Just noticed that I didn’t ask my question correctly.
What I was trying to ask was, how can I display a link in the RSS Feed? The links that are in the content of my posts are broken in the feed.
Thanks for your help and this article.
Josh McClanahan
Still curious, if anyone knows why my links would be broken and only show as plain text in a feed?
To see what I mean checkout: http://amfmchurch.com/feed
You will see ”Download” in plain text. I would like to make it so that people can click the anchor link and download the mp3. This works find on the actual site.
Thanks for any help.

Hi, I have the default rss feed.. but I would like to be able to either reduce the size of the images from what is displayed in the post…. (to a maximujm width of 265px) OR to just use the post thumbnail in the rss.
Is either of the above possible?
The reason I am looking to do this is that my RSS feeds an APP and the APP will only display images up to 265px in width (before horizontal scrolling) and 265px is very limiting for online/pc blog posts…

Thank you for this! I am making a custom RSS location part of a plugin I’m developing. As a result, I have included the text for the custom RSS in the function, not in a theme template. It’s working. However, it does not seem to work when I want to restrict the feed to a category. It gives all posts regardless. Any thoughts?

try changing
$posts = query_posts('showposts=' . $postCount);1-click Use in WordPress
To:
$posts = query_posts('showposts=' . $postCount.'&category_name=staff');1-click Use in WordPress
Replace category_name with your category name.

Hello,
Till yesterday afternoon, my Wordpress (version 3.6.1) blog http://theoff.info/wordpress/ had no problem. And I successfully added new plugins.
In the night, problems started: (1) I could not login. (2) the RSS feed http://theoff.info/wordpress/?feed=rss2 got corrupted. The feed failed validation.
I searched the Web and Wordpress Support Forum for solutions. I tried the following:
(i) successfully reset the password
(ii) deleted new plugins from ftp
(iii) renamed Theme folder by adding ”-old” and plugin folder by adding ”-hold” from ftp
Then I could login and up grade to 3.7.1 version and make changes to the blog.
However, login is still an issue. Every time I am following method mentioned in step (iii) to login.
RSS still does not validate.
Could you help in resolving both login and RSS feed problems?
Note: My webhost does not offer technical help. I am not an IT professional i.e. I have very little technical knowledge.
Thanks
WPBeginner Support
It is difficult to figure out. Here is one thing you can try.
1. Using FTP download your plugins to your computer for backup and then delete your plugins directory.
2. Create a new plugins directory.
3. Install and all your plugins one by one by downloading fresh copy of the plugin from the source. After you activate each plugin log out and and log back in to see if the problem occurs again. You will probably find a plugin that may be causing the problem or you wont. This could mean that a plugin file on your site may have been compromised.
If this process does not help you, repeat this process process with your themes as well. If you have made a lot of changes to your existing themes then you might want to back it up on your computer by downloading theme folder through FTP. Then delete themes folder from your webserver and create a new themes directory in wp-content folder on your server. From WordPress admin area download and install a fresh copy of default twenty thirteen theme.
Let us know what happens when you do all that. Make Sure to Backup your Site first.
