Feed Wrangler is a simple plugin that allows one to create custom feeds for their WordPress blog. You can customize the structure of that feed by creating a corresponding file in your blog theme, otherwise the custom feed will default to your RSS2 feed.<\/p>\n\n
Some possible use cases for the plugin:<\/p>\n\n
feed-wrangler<\/code> directory to your blog's \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
- Go to \"Settings\" > \"Feed Wrangler\" to create a new feed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
You can also install through your Wordpress admin by going to \"Plugins\" > \"Add New\" and searching for \"Feed Wrangler\"<\/p>\n\n\n
\n- What happens when a feed slug conflicts with an existing permalink?<\/dt>\n
The feed will take precedence.<\/p><\/dd>\n
- I want to make a feed only slightly different from an RSS2 feed, where do I start?<\/dt>\n
Once you create a new feed in the Feed Wrangler interface, you can create a corresponding template file in your current theme to customize your newly created feed. The admin interface will tell you the file name to use.<\/p>\n\n
If you want to start off with one of the default templates -- let's say RSS2 -- just copy and paste the code from \/wp-includes\/feed-rss2.php<\/code> (\/wp-includes\/wp-rss2.php<\/code> in older versions of Wordpress) into the new theme file and make the changes and additions you see fit.<\/p><\/dd>\n- What's a good way to test feed template changes?<\/dt>\n
On a Mac, I like using Firefox with the \"Feeds\" option set to \"Show me a preview and ask me which Feed Reader to use\". When you access your feed in Firefox, you have to clear the cache as you reload (COMMAND + SHIFT + R) -- otherwise you might have trouble seeing your changes. Viewing the source of that preview page will give you the raw feed source. Once the source looks fine, it's a good idea to drop the feed in an actual feed reader and see how it responds. Also, don't forget about Feed Validator<\/a>.<\/p><\/dd>\n- Upgrading to Wordpress 2.6 deletes all my feeds<\/dt>\n
If you're using version .1 of Feed Wrangler, you'll need to upgrade Feed Wrangler BEFORE upgrading your Wordpress to 2.6.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>","raw_excerpt":"FeedWrangler is a utility for creating and editing custom feeds.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/3022","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3022"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/ephramzerb"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3022"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=3022"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=3022"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=3022"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=3022"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=3022"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
