Exclude category from the main RSS feed and also keep that category feed

  • If you want to exclude a category from the main RSS feed and also keep that category rss feed use the following code:

    function ac_exclude_from_rss($query) {
    // Categories to exclude - by ID
    $cats_to_exclude = array( 15, 16);

    if ($query->is_feed && !$query->is_category($cats_to_exclude) ) {
        set_query_var('category__not_in', $cats_to_exclude);
    }

    return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts','ac_exclude_from_rss');

    If someone has something to add please share ??

    How about this one?

    function exclude_category($query) {
 if ($query->is_feed) {
   $query->set('cat','-14,-9');
 }
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts','exclude_category');

    Yes, that works if you want to exclude some categories from https://yourwebsite.com/feed. It will also disable https://yourwebsite.com/category/acategory/feed which I didn’t wanted.

    My code works in both cases.

    I forgot to mention it was a follow up for this thread.
