WordPress by default creates a whole lot of automatic feeds for you. Feeds for posts, feeds for comments, feeds for categories… just about anything you could imaginably turn into a feed it does. It doesn’t add link elements pointing to all of the feeds it creates, but nevertheless the feeds are there for anyone looking.
But what if you don’t want these magical mystery feeds? What if you want to have full control over which feeds your site has, what they contain and how they are delivered? Well, I think I have figured out how, but it was far from easy to find the information needed to make WordPress output feeds exactly the way you want to. I hope this post will make things a little easier for others looking to do the same thing.
