Does WordPress automatically create RSS feed?

Last updated on January 23, 2023 @ 1:04 pm

If you’re using WordPress, it’s likely that you’re also using its built-in RSS functionality. WordPress automatically creates an RSS feed for all posts and pages, which you can subscribe to using your favorite RSS reader.

This makes it easy to keep up with your blog’s latest posts without having to manually add them to your feed reader.

However, if you’d like to create your own RSS feed, you can easily do so by following these steps:

First, open your WordPress blog’s Settings page (by clicking the WordPress logo in your blog’s header, then clicking the Settings tab).

Next, under the General heading, click the RSS link.

On the RSS settings page, under the Feed Settings heading, click the Add Feed button.

Enter the RSS feed URL into the Feed URL field.

In the Title field, enter a title for your RSS feed.

PRO TIP: No, WordPress does not automatically create RSS feeds. You will need to install a plugin or widget to create an RSS feed for your WordPress site.

In the Description field, enter a brief description of your RSS feed.

In the Category field, enter the category(s) your blog posts belong to.

In the RSS Version field, enter the RSS version (1.0 or 2.0).

Click the Save button.

Your RSS feed is now ready to use. You can add it to your favorite RSS reader, or copy the link and paste it into your blog’s comments section to share with your readers.

Conclusion

WordPress automatically creates an RSS feed for all posts and pages, which you can subscribe to using your favorite RSS reader. This makes it easy to keep up with your blog’s latest posts without having to manually add them to your feed reader.

However, if you’d like to create your own RSS feed, you can easily do so by following these steps.
