Creating RSS feed for each page

  • Hello,

    I would like my readers to be able to subscribe to updates on any of the pages on my site by subscribing to an RSS.

    E.g. someone finds a document on one of my pages important, so they subscribe for an RSS of that particular page.

    I put a subscribe button on every page by using:
    <p><span><a href="https://mywebsite.com/<?php global $post; echo $post->post_name; ?>/feed/rss/?withoutcomments=1"><img src="/wp-content/themes/mywebsite/RSS_Icon.png" alt="RSS" height="20" width="20"></a>
    This makes it possible for the visitor to subscribe to the RSS.

    !!! However! When testing this I have not received any notifications on changes (title, content, date,…) of the page. RSS reader is silent, even though I can see the changes are reflected in the XML format, when I open the feed manually.

    When I create a new page my RSS reader, looking at the category the page belongs to, notifies me. However it does not notify me on changes of any webpages in that category.

    Do you happen to know why? How can I make the RSS reader detect even updates of my pages? Not just their creation?

    Thank you very much.

    I tested several RSS readers and none of them have managed to pick up the changes on pages (other than creation of new one) – tried changing the published date, content, title. Even after updating the feeds in the reader manually.

    My current suspicion is that this is an RSS reader problem.

    I thought RSS readers are built to pick up updates of content too. Was I wrong?
