    I want to turn off all feeds on my WordPress blog – Atom, RSS, all of it. How can I manage this so that anyone reading the blog will have to go directly to the website and not through a feed aggregator?

  • First, make sure you’re not providing links or resources to your syndication feeds. This also includes any

    <link rel="alternate" ...

    pointing to such in the <head> of your site.

    Next, delete all of the following files in your blog’s install or main directory:

    wp-feed.php
    wp-atom.php
    wp-rdf.php
    wp-rss.php
    wp-rss2.php
    wp-commentsrss2.php

    In newer versions of WordPress you also need to remove these files from the wp-includes/ directory:

    feed-atom.php
    feed-atom-comments.php
    feed-rdf.php
    feed-rss.php
    feed-rss2.php
    feed-rss2-comments.php

    Do not delete feed.php under wp-includes/. It holds a number of functions that may be used elsewhere, and the lack of them will lead to unexpected problems and errors.
