About this plugin
The Restrict RSS Feeds plugin gives you several useful options for managing your feed such as:
- Switching off all RSS feeds in your WordPress installation
- Restricting access to authorized users by requiring a password for access
- Removing descriptions and excerpts from the feed
- Removing author names from the feed
- Removing WordPress version numbers from the feed
- Removing RSS feed auto-discovery links from the HTML header ()
- Adding post featured images to RSS feed entries and media enclosures
- Delaying feed publication (anti-scraper buffer) with a configurable delay time
RSS is a type of web feed that allows your readers to automatically get new content in email newsletters and RSS feed readers.
RSS feeds can be useful for your website when running a blog but are unnecessary if using WordPress as a basic website builder or ecommerce site. Some blog posts may also be gated content and be intended to be visible by authorized users only.
