 * I’m wondering how to remove the comments rss feed link from the source of your
   page, not the actual visible link, but the “<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/
   rss+xml”… etc in the source code.
 * Thanks.

 * open your theme’s `header.php` and remove it?

 * Thank you for your reply.
 * My header.php doesn’t contain the code, I think it is generated automatically
   by the wp_head.

 * Same issue here, how do I remove that comments rss feed?
 * I’m using thesis, so I don’t have access to the header.php file. Even if I did,
   shouldn’t there be a cleaner way to do this?
 * My comments’ RSS feed appears before my posts’ RSS feed in the header, so people
   trying to subscribe get the comments RSS feed instead. Not good.

 * My header.php file doesn’t contain it, I don’t understand why no one is responding
   here, surely someone else has wanted to remove it in the past? Is it something
   that obvious and that’s why no one is replying?
 * Please post if you know anything about it, it’s a big problem for me because 
   the url that accesses the comments feed: mysite.com/comments/feed leads to a 
   broken page because I actually have a folder on my site called mysite.com/comments.
 * Literally going crazy here, removing the call to wp_head removes both RSS feeds
   but most of my plugins aren’t working if I do that!

 * Put `remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links' );` in your theme’s `functions.php`(
   or if you haven’t got one, make one and put `<?php` and `?>` on new lines around
   the above.
 * You’ll have to add in the `link` tag for your main RSS feed manually if you want
   it in your `header.php` again with something like:
    `<link rel="alternate" type
   ="application/rss+xml" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> RSS Feed" href="<?php
   bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />`
 * [@rachelkaye](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rachelkaye/): Yep, removing
   the `wp_head()` call is a very, very bad idea.

 * remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘feed_links’ );

 * Old topic but….
 * > Put `remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links' );` in your theme’s functions.php
 * This doesn’t appear to remove this:
 *     ```
       <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Site &raquo; Feed" href="http://localhost/feed" />
       <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Site &raquo; Comments Feed" href="http://localhost/comments/feed" />
       ```
   
 * This is what I’m removing through theme’s functions.php file
 *     ```
       remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links' );
       remove_action( 'wp_head', 'rsd_link');
       remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wlwmanifest_link');
       remove_action( 'wp_head', 'index_rel_link');
       remove_action( 'wp_head', 'parent_post_rel_link');
       remove_action( 'wp_head', 'start_post_rel_link');
       remove_action( 'wp_head', 'adjacent_posts_rel_link');
       remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_generator');
       ```
