An RSS feed is an XML file containing your most recent content, used by aggregators, feed readers, email subscriptions, and podcast lists. Here's how to find and customize your RSS feed URL.

Basic URL Structure

The RSS feed URL combines three elements:

  • Your full domain
  • Page slug
  • Format parameter (?format=rss)

  • For multi-word categories, use %20 for spaces

Add Tags:

  • Format: ?tag=Tagname&format=rss
  • For multi-word tags, use %20 for spaces

Quick Tips:

  • Test URLs by viewing pages while logged out
