Disable comments feed, but not the others

1 Views

I’d like to customize my WordPress blog in such a way that it is no more possible to access the comments feed.

Other feeds should still be available, and it should still be possible to add comments to any article.

I tried to find a plugin to do this, but what I found is a all or nothing feature, without the possibility to finely adjust which feeds are allowed and which are not.

  1. function remove_comment_feeds( $for_comments ){
    if( $for_comments ){
        remove_action( 'do_feed_rss2', 'do_feed_rss2', 10, 1 );
        remove_action( 'do_feed_atom', 'do_feed_atom', 10, 1 );
    }
}
add_action( 'do_feed_rss2', 'remove_comment_feeds', 9, 1 );
add_action( 'do_feed_atom', 'remove_comment_feeds', 9, 1 );

  2. As mentioned by @glueckpress, Since 4.4 you can use the feed_links_show_comments_feed filter.

    Example (in your theme functions.php file) :

    add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'head_cleanup' );

function head_cleanup(){

    // Add default posts and comments RSS feed links to head.
    add_theme_support( 'automatic-feed-links' );

    // disable comments feed
    add_filter( 'feed_links_show_comments_feed', '__return_false' ); 

}

  4. I wanted to remove the comments feed and posts comments feed. As of WordPress 5.4.2, this worked for me.

    Add this into your “after_setup_theme” action.

    add_theme_support('automatic-feed-links');

    Add this right after that line:

    add_filter( 'feed_links_show_comments_feed', '__return_false' );

    After your “after_setup_theme action, add this function and filter ( I pulled this function from https://jeffvautin.com/2016/03/removing-comments-rss-feeds-from-wordpress/ blog.) It will removed the posts comments feed.

    /**
 * Remove the posts comments rss feed 
 */
function disablePostCommentsFeedLink($for_comments) {
  return;
}
add_filter('post_comments_feed_link','disablePostCommentsFeedLink');

    I also add this to remove those non-essential feeds

    /**
 * remove non-essential rss feeds
 * 
 * This removes feeds like tags, authors, search, post type
 */
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links_extra', 3 );

    I believe this will just give me the main feed. I’m not sure if this is the best way of going about this, but seems to do the trick.
