Disable RSS Plugin for WordPress

Find a bug?

If you believe you have found a bug, please open a ticket here. This will allow me to track the issue as a single issue and others to comment and give feedback.

I’m finding it difficult to discern user error from bug from configuration differences among different installations. All of this will lead to a quicker turn around for reported issues. Isn’t that cool?

If you're feeling generous.

Smashing Magazing did a post today including several RSS related WordPress hacks.   One of them featured a method to disable all RSS feeds. As they say: 

“Let’s say you’re using WordPress as a CMS to manage your online portfolio or your company’s website. In such cases, the RSS feed isn’t that useful, and some people would probably want to remove it.”
 

Notably, they did not encapsulate the functionality in a plugin. So I will be converting the ones without a associated plugin into plugins over the coming days. This is the first one.

Simply put, all you have to do is upload the plugin, activate it, and viola! No more RSS feeds. You can edit the error message users receive by editing the actual plugin file. (disable-rss.php)

The code:

add_action('do_feed', 'fb_disable_feed', 1);
add_action('do_feed_rdf', 'fb_disable_feed', 1);
add_action('do_feed_rss', 'fb_disable_feed', 1);
add_action('do_feed_rss2', 'fb_disable_feed', 1);
add_action('do_feed_atom', 'fb_disable_feed', 1);
 
function fb_disable_feed() {
	wp_die( __('No feed available,please visit our <a href="'. get_bloginfo('url') .'">homepage</a>!') );
}
