Custom RSS Feed

    Hi there,

    I need to use a custom RSS feed for this podcast that excludes certain episodes from the feed (based on tag). This threat from shanDB was somewhat helpful, but did solve the issue.

    (1) I added the following to the function.php:

    // Podcast - Exclude episodes w tag sneak-preview from RSS feed

// Register the custom feed

function podcast_no_sneak_preview_feed() {

add_feed('podcast_no_sneak_preview', 'customRSSFunc');

}

add_action('init', 'podcast_no_sneak_preview_feed');

// Function to render the custom feed content

function customRSSFunc() {

// Load the custom RSS feed template

get_template_part('rss', 'podcast_no_sneak_preview');

}

// Modify the custom feed query

function exclude_sneak_preview_posts_from_custom_feed($query) {

// Check if the query is for the custom feed

if ( $query->is_feed() && $query->get('feed') === 'podcast_no_sneak_preview' ) {

// Get the tag ID for the 'sneak-preview' tag

$tag_id = 96; // Replace 96 with the actual tag ID of "sneak-preview" tag

// Exclude posts with the 'sneak-preview' tag from the custom feed

$query->set('tag__not_in', array($tag_id));

}

}

add_action('pre_get_posts', 'exclude_sneak_preview_posts_from_custom_feed');

// Callback function to connect custom feed with the RSS template file

function custom_feed_template($templates) {

if (get_query_var('feed') === 'podcast_no_sneak_preview') {

$templates = array('rss-podcast_no_sneak_preview.php');

}

return $templates;

}

add_filter('feed_template', 'custom_feed_template');

    (2) then created a copy of the feed-podcast.php, renamed the file to “rss-name.php” and saved the file to the root directory of the child theme.

    (3) then I cleared the cache and reset the display rule

    (4) when calling the custom feed URL this error message appears.

    Please let me know what I’m missing.

    Thanks,

    Jan

    Hi Jan!

    Please remove all your previous changes and put the following code in your functions.php file ( replace excluded_tag_slug with your tag slug ):

    add_filter('ssp_episode_query_args', function($args){
	$args['tax_query'][] = array(
		'taxonomy' => 'post_tag',
		'field'    => 'slug',
		'terms'    => array( 'excluded_tag_slug' ),
		'operator' => 'NOT IN',
	);

	return $args;
});

    Please let me know if that worked for you.

    Best regards,
    Sergiy.
