Setting up RSS Feed in WordPress

WordPress generates RSS feeds automatically for your content. No additional setup is required except ensuring your site is public.

Default Feed URL

Additional Feed Types

WordPress provides several types of RSS feeds for different content:

  • Posts by Category: https://yourblog.com/category/categoryname/feed/
  • Posts by Tag: https://yourblog.com/tag/tagname/feed/
  • Author Posts: https://yourblog.com/author/username/feed/
  • Comments: https://yourblog.com/comments/feed/

Choose the appropriate feed URL based on the content you want to include in your newsletter.
