Do pages send out a RSS feed?

  • I have a question regarding the difference between pages and posts. Are pages syndicated too? Do they send out a RSS feed?

    I am wondering this because Google lists my posts under Google Blog Search and my pages under Google (Web) Search. Posts are dynamic and pages are static.

    Google Blog Search states that “The goal of Blog Search is to include every blog that publishes a site feed (either RSS or Atom)”

    Sorry if this is not WordPress issue but a Google issue.

    I looked at my posts and pages and they both seem to include something similar to this:

    rdf:Description rdf:about="https://www.annehelmond.nl/about/"
    dc:identifier="https://www.annehelmond.nl/about/"
    dc:title="About"
trackback:ping="https://www.annehelmond.nl/about/trackback/"

    This means that my pages are also syndicating, right? Any clarification or insights would be greatly appreciated.

  • Trackbacks (which the RDF code you posted deals with) are not related to syndication.

    With an individual Page, like a post, you can syndicate the comments on that Page. But Pages are not syndicated through the top-level feed channel like posts are (that is, the latest posts are sequentially listed as items in the feed). However, there is at least one plugin I know of which assists with this:

    was exactly the answer I was looking for.
