RSS Footer Plugin for WordPress
Are you looking to customize your RSS feed footer in WordPress? Customizing your RSS feed footer was never this easy! With All in One SEO, you can add custom links and text at the end of your post in the RSS feed.
This article will show you how to add a footer to your RSS feed with WordPress plugin AIOSEO.
Let’s get started…
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.
That’s it, you’re done!
We hoped this guide helped you understand the importance of adding an RSS feed footer to your WordPress website. Adding an RSS feed footer can be complicated if you’re doing it manually without a plugin, but with AIOSEO, it only takes a few minutes.

Content scraping is when bots “scrape” and copy content from your website to publish it on other sites. While you can't completely stop someone from copying your content, AIOSEO lets you add text and links above and below each blog post in your RSS feed to ensure proper attribution.
With All in One SEO, it's easy to add content before or after your default RSS feed.
You can add plain text, links, and even dynamic tags to automatically add content to your feeds. Our dynamic tags for RSS feeds include:
- Post information: Your post title, link, publication date, and even the main category
- Site information: Your site title and main website link
- Author information: Display the author's name and link to their archive page
With All in One SEO, it's easy to customize your WordPress RSS feed the way you want.
Yes, AIOSEO allows you to exclude specific posts, pages, and terms from your RSS Sitemap. You can do this through the Advanced Settings by either typing the title of any content you want to exclude or using the dropdown list to select items.
Note: When you exclude a term (like a category), all content in that term will also be excluded from the sitemap.
No, AIOSEO does not create physical files for your sitemap. Our sitemaps are virtual web pages that are dynamically generated whenever a crawler visits the sitemap URL. This ensures it's always up-to-date and eliminates issues with file permissions or accidental deletions.
If you disable the sitemap, AIOSEO will no longer generate a sitemap and the URL will return a 404 Page Not Found error. Search engines will no longer be able to get this valuable information about your site and content, which is why we don't recommend disabling the sitemap.
No. All in One SEO is a WordPress SEO plugin, so it will not work on sites that do not use WordPress. Additionally, All in One SEO is not compatible with the WordPress.com platform. You must be using a self-hosted version of WordPress to utilize All in One SEO.
