Make a Feed

Make a Feed from a Category

Add /feed/ to the end of any URL from the blog… no kidding.

So

http://news.cehd.umn.edu/category/topics/human-development/

+ /feed/ =

http://news.cehd.umn.edu/category/topics/human-development/feed/

Stupid easy right? Also works for tags, authors, search.

Feed Two Categories

This works for two categories at the same level, just separate with a comma.

So

http://news.cehd.umn.edu/category/students/

And

http://news.cehd.umn.edu/category/faculty-staff/

Become

http://news.cehd.umn.edu/category/students,faculty-staff/feed/

Boom! More on multiple categories is available on the WordPress site.

Skip a Child Category

Find the numbered id for the category, let’s use 123 as an example, and you add a minus like this:

/feed/?cat=-123

Feed Just one Post

It is different than feeding from a category. Pull up the post in a browser and add

/feed/?withoutcomments=1

Typically used to show a whole article on a webpage. Think repackaging an article as a story.
