Context
What this means for WordPress
WordPress has shipped with native RSS support since the first public release in 2003. Every archive page, the site root, categories, tags, authors, and search results, has a parallel feed URL. The default pattern is /feed/, and permalink structures decide whether category and tag feeds use /category/[slug]/feed/ or the custom base set in site settings.
- Feed URL format
https://example.com/feed/- Working example
https://wordpress.org/news/feed/
Supported patterns
- Site-wide feeds (/feed/)
- Category feeds (/category/[slug]/feed/)
- Tag feeds (/tag/[slug]/feed/)
- Author feeds (/author/[slug]/feed/)
- Search feeds (/?s=[term]&feed=rss2)
- Comment feeds (/comments/feed/)
Limitations
- Some sites disable feeds via a plugin or in wp-admin settings
- Custom permalink structures can change the exact path
- Feeds default to 10 items. Sites can raise this up to hundreds but usually do not
- Feeds expose publishing-date metadata but not updated-date by default

Gotchas
Common mistakes
- Watch for this: Omitting the trailing slash, /feed returns a redirect, /feed/ is the canonical URL
- Watch for this: Assuming /feed/ is always site-wide, on multisite subfolders it returns the subsite feed, not the network feed
- Watch for this: Expecting private or password-protected posts to appear, they never do

WordPress RSS questions
Do WordPress sites have RSS feeds?
Yes. Nearly every WordPress site exposes RSS feeds automatically at /feed/. Categories, tags, and authors each have their own feed URLs as well.
How do I find the RSS feed for a WordPress site?
Add /feed/ to the site's root URL. For example, https://wordpress.org/news/ becomes https://wordpress.org/news/feed/. The trailing slash matters on many hosts.
What is the RSS URL for a WordPress category?
Use https://example.com/category/[slug]/feed/. Tag archives use /tag/[slug]/feed/ and author archives use /author/[slug]/feed/.
Can I import one WordPress site into another?
Yes. Use the source site's RSS feed URL in Aggregator. Feed to Post maps imported items to native WordPress posts with full author, category, and featured image support.
What format do WordPress RSS feeds use?
WordPress publishes RSS 2.0 by default and also exposes Atom (/feed/atom/) and RDF (/feed/rdf/) variants. All three are compatible with Aggregator.
