WP rss aggregator creates unwanted posts from feed items

    Hi there,

    The Feed Items post type used by WP RSS Aggregator to import the feed items from your RSS feed sources is a custom post type, so those URLs are required to even have them stored on your site.

    This does not negatively impact your SEO ranking. May I ask why you would assume so?

    It’s not possible to disable or delete these URLs without deleting the feed items completely.

    Hi,

    I am confused that those URLs are required to have feed items stored in my database.

    I also run https://vrsquare.co/ and that site uses the exact same feed sources. And here I don’t find a similar /feed-item/ folder, just the feed itself on the homepage.

    I feared that the SEO ranking would be impacted negatively, because as far as I have understood, the SERP-algorithms value pages with lots of quality content. A site with many “almost” empty pages might dilute the overall impression of the domain.

    Anyway, I managed to set the noindex flag on the feed item URLs, so that would no longer be an issue. Thanks for your answer.
