4 Ways To Exclude Categories From Your WordPress RSS Feed

There’s at least 4 different ways you can exclude all posts assigned to one or more categories from being included in your RSS feed.

  • You can add some PHP code to your child themes functions file or
  • You can install a plugin

PHP Code

Add this to your child themes functions.php file. Make sure you find your category i.d and replace the 007 category i.d number.

Add more category i.d’s separated by a comma.
