disable /feed for custom post type

Resolved

(@srd75)

The affected page is of a custom post type.

In the source code of the affected page, I see:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Mandoe &raquo; Feed" href="https://mandoemedia.com/feed/" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Mandoe &raquo; Comments Feed" href="https://mandoemedia.com/comments/feed/" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Mandoe &raquo; Vitamin Discount Promotion Template Comments Feed" href="https://mandoemedia.com/templates/medical/pharmacies/vitamin-discount-promotion-template/feed/" />

Note that https://mandoemedia.com/templates/medical/pharmacies/vitamin-discount-promotion-template/feed/ doesn’t exist.

How do I disable /feed/ for the CPT?

Thanks.

This is our code:

function post_type_discog1() {

register_post_type('templates',
    array(
    'labels' => array(
            'name' => __( 'Templates' ),
            'singular_name' => __( 'Template' ),
            'add_new' => __( 'Add New' ),
            'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Template' ),
            'edit' => __( 'Edit' ),

            'new_item' => __( 'New Template' ),
            'view' => __( 'View Template' ),

        'query_var' => true
        )
  );
}
add_action('init', 'post_type_discog1');

add_action( 'init', 'create_discog_taxonomies', 0 );

function create_discog_taxonomies()
{
  // Add new taxonomy, make it hierarchical (like categories)
  $labels = array(
    'name' => _x( 'Template Categories', 'taxonomy general name' ),

I tried using:

register_post_type('templates',
    array(
    'labels' => array(
            'name' => __( 'Templates' ),
            'singular_name' => __( 'Template' ),
            'add_new' => __( 'Add New' ),
            'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Template' ),
            'edit' => __( 'Edit' ),
            'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Template' ),
            'new_item' => __( 'New Template' ),
            'view' => __( 'View Template' ),
            'view_item' => __( 'View Template' ),
            'search_items' => __( 'Search Templates' ),
            'not_found' => __( 'No Templates found' ),
            'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'No Templates found in Trash' ),
            'parent' => __( 'Parent Templates' ),
        ),
  'public' => true,
  'feeds' => null,
  'show_ui' => true,
        'exclude_from_search' => true,
        'hierarchical' => true,
        'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail','page-attributes' ),
        'query_var' => true
        )
  );
}

(note the added 'feeds' => null,, but this does not resolve the issue).

From the register_post_type function reference, I tried replacing

'feeds' => null,

with

'rewrite' => array('feeds' => null),

but the /feed/ remained.

According to the documentation, the feeds portion of rewrite should be boolean, so try 'rewrite' => array('feeds' => false)

Thanks, @tw2113, I made that change but the extra feed remains.

There is no WP caching installed.

I also resaved Permalinks, and the issue remains.

Not sure how much you’re willing to remove from these, but perhaps something like outlined in https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/wordpress-disable-rss-feed/ or perhaps remove_theme_support() paired with “automatic-feed-links”

We’d prefer to keep those feeds

Not sure what’s going on at this point and how to get rid of just the one.
