WordPress makes an RSS feed for just about anything on your website. WordPress RSS feeds allow you to streamline the creation and automation of content email campaigns. Here, we’ll show you how to find many different WordPress RSS feeds for your website.
WordPress RSS Feeds for Categories
One Category Feed
Here’s what the WordPress RSS feed URL will typically look like for finding content in one specific category.
http://www.example.com/category/categoryname/feed
For example, if you were looking for FeedOtter’s blog content in the category best practices, the RSS feed would look like this.
https://www.feedotter.com/blog/category/best-practices/feed
One of Multiple Category RSS Feeds
You can also combine multiple categories and see content from more than one category.
http://www.example.com/category/cat1,cat2/feed
OR
http://www.example.com/?cat=42,43&feed=rss2
For example, if you were wanting FeedOtter’s blog content for the categories best practices and how to, it would look like this.
https://www.feedotter.com/blog/category/best-practices,how-to/feed
Posts Associated with All RSS Feed Categories
If you were wanting only the content that falls in all the categories listed, your WordPress RSS feed will look like this.
http://www.example.com/category/cat1/category/cat2/feed
So, if you were only wanting the content that fell under best practices and how to, this is the RSS feed URL.
