Context
What this means for Ghost
Ghost was designed from the start as a modern publishing platform and ships with RSS enabled by default. The feed URL is always /rss/ for the site, and Ghost also exposes per-tag and per-author feeds at matching paths. Ghost feeds include full content unless the publisher has explicitly limited RSS to excerpts in theme settings. Note that ghost.org itself is Ghost's marketing site (built on Hugo), not a Ghost-powered blog. Their actual Ghost-powered publication lives at activitypub.ghost.org.
- Feed URL format
https://[site]/rss/- Working example
https://activitypub.ghost.org/rss/
Supported patterns
- Site-wide feed (/rss/)
- Tag feeds (/tag/[slug]/rss/)
- Author feeds (/author/[slug]/rss/)
Limitations
- Members-only posts are excluded or truncated depending on publisher settings
- Some themes restrict feed content to excerpts via config
- Ghost Pro on custom domains sometimes routes RSS through Ghost's CDN, occasionally causing brief freshness lag

Gotchas
Common mistakes
- Watch for this: Using /feed/ instead of /rss/, Ghost responds to /rss/ only
- Watch for this: Forgetting the trailing slash in some cases. /rss works on most hosts but /rss/ is canonical
- Watch for this: Expecting paid member-only posts to arrive as full text, they do not

FAQ
Ghost RSS questions
Does Ghost have RSS feeds?
Yes. Every Ghost site exposes RSS at /rss/ by default. Tag and author archives have their own feed URLs as well.
How do I find the RSS feed for a Ghost tag?
Use https://[site]/tag/[slug]/rss/. Authors follow the same pattern at /author/[slug]/rss/.
Are Ghost feeds full text?
By default yes, but publishers can configure their theme to return excerpts only. Members-only posts are always truncated or excluded for non-members.
Can I get an RSS feed for Ghost member-only content?
Not through standard RSS. Members-only content requires an authenticated member feed, which Ghost exposes for subscribed members in their account settings.
Can Ghost feeds be imported into WordPress?
Yes. Use the Ghost RSS URL as a source in Aggregator. The feed typically includes author and featured-image metadata, which maps cleanly through Aggregator's Feed to Post.
