Feed Builder

Feed Builder Guide

Choose a format, define the audience, map values, and verify the public feed URL.

01 / START HERE

Setup guide

Choose whether to adjust an existing RSS feed or create a purpose-specific feed.

Create a feed and choose RSS 2.0 or JSON Feed 1.1. The format stays fixed so the editor shows only relevant settings.

Filter posts, map only intended public values, save, and verify the generated URL.

Choose a publication method in Feed Builder
Choose an existing RSS adjustment or a new purpose-specific feed.

Steps

  1. Choose standard RSS replacement, custom RSS, or JSON Feed
  2. Configure source, filters, order, and limit
  3. Map values and verify the public URL

02 / RSS 2.0

RSS feed settings

Keep an existing WordPress URL or publish a separate custom URL.

Standard replacement preserves the main posts, public post type, or public taxonomy feed URL.

Custom RSS creates a purpose-specific URL with explicit mappings for RSS 2.0 fields.

What to check

  • Existing WordPress feed URLs
  • Purpose-specific custom URLs
  • Explicit RSS item mapping
  • Exclusion of drafts and protected content

03 / JSON FEED 1.1

JSON Feed settings

Create a machine-readable feed that follows the public JSON Feed 1.1 specification.

Configure feed metadata and item id, URL, title, content, dates, and authors in the format-specific editor.

Verify content type, character encoding, absolute URLs, and date values against the consuming service.

What to check

  • JSON Feed 1.1 field names
  • Text or HTML content

04 / ADAPTER

Select public field definitions exposed by supported plugins.

No field is published automatically. Only values explicitly mapped by an administrator are output.
