Filtering Content with Categories and Tags:

For category-specific feeds:

domain.com/pageslug?category=CategoryName&format=rss

For multi-word categories:

domain.com/pageslug?category=Category%20Name&format=rss

For tag-specific feeds:

domain.com/pageslug?tag=TagName&format=rss

For multi-word tags:

domain.com/pageslug?tag=Tag%20Name&format=rss

Pro Tips:

  • Use the integrated domain for more reliable RSS feeds
  • URLs are typically hidden from end users
  • Test your RSS feed URL by adding ?format=rss to any page URL
  • Note that Index Pages may add extra characters to URLs
