RSS Footer Plugin for WordPress

Why Do You Need to Add a Footer to Your RSS Feed?

RSS feeds are a default feature of WordPress out of the box. They provide a simple way to get updates whenever new content is published.

Despite its advantages, content scrapers can use RSS feeds to steal and copy your blog posts as soon as you publish them. What’s worse is that sometimes sites that stole your content might end up ranking higher than you!

Adding a custom text and link to your RSS feed footer can prevent this from happening, as you will still get the credit even if your blog is republished someplace else.

You can use this text to add backlinks and the link to the original post at the end of the blog post. This prevents content scrapers from ranking higher than your website.

You can also encourage readers to visit your blog from time to time by adding content to your RSS feed footer.

Let’s take a look at how to add content to RSS feed footer using AIOSEO.

How to Add Content to RSS Feed Footer

You can easily add content to the RSS feed footer using AIOSEO. You won’t have to mess around with a single line of code to get this done.

To get started, go to All in One SEO » General Settings in your WordPress dashboard and then click on RSS Content.

On the RSS Content page you will see three sections: Preview, RSS Before Content, and RSS After Content.

If you click on the Open Your RSS Feed button, you will be asked to download the RSS feed file, which you can view using any RSS reader.

In the next section, RSS Before Content, you can add the content at the start of your post. For example, you could add, “This post first appeared on [your domain].”

You can use tags from the View all tags dropdown.

Below that, you will see the RSS After Content section. This will allow you to add your content at the end of the blog post.

AIOSEO automatically adds custom text with a backlink to your website in the RSS feed footer. You can use the text as it is, or you can change it and add your own content.

Don’t forget to click on Save Changes once you are done.

You can now check to see if it worked. At the end of each article, you should see the text you added in the RSS feed.

To view your RSS feed, you can visit https://www.example.com/feeds. Just replace “example.com” with your site URL. This is the default RSS feed URL for all WordPress websites.
