RSS Footer WordPress Plugin

By Mark 23 Comments Reading Time: < 1 minute

I confess that I am a bit cranky when it comes to WordPress plugins. I use as few as possible (to not compromise my WP install), and I also tend to like some old school plugins that were released years ago. My plugin of choice for adding a link to my RSS feed, for instance, was the sig2feed one. I started using it early in 2023!

Recently, however, more people started scraping Daily Blog Tips, so I felt that it was necessary to add not only a link back to the blog, but also a link back to the original post. This should help Google to identify my original articles more easily and quickly.

When I tried to use sig2feed for this purpose, however, I found that it was not capable of (not without a good deal of PHP tweaking at least), so I decided to find a new RSS feed footer.

RSS Footer is the name of the plugin created by Joost de Valk, and it gets the job done perfectly. Basically it allows you to insert any message or link on the footer of your feeds, and it also comes with a check box that you simply need to tick if you want a link back to the original article.

If you have people scraping your RSS feed, give this plugin a try.

    Thanks for the RSS Footer plugin recommendation, Daniel. I realize you posted this article a couple of years ago (based on earliest comment date) but it sounds like it is still a prudent thing to do. Thank you!

    Thanks for posting this – RSS Footer worked where other plugins had not.

    This is an incredibly useful plugin. I wish that there was a way for me to tweak the code to make it say: “You are reading:” before the permalink to the post.

    Try feed layout wordpress plugin, and let me know if it can be a useful plugin to manipulate the feed. I’m the author and I’m using it to add a copyright notice on every post delivered via feed but it can do much more… hope it can be of any help!

    Finally, a decent RSS footer plugin worth using! Certainly the easiest one to use that I’ve seen around.

    Somehow I think that the scrapers have a plugin that removes links to the original post

    Sounds like a great little plugin, I’ve been using Feed Footer for adding a footer to my RSS feed items but this plugin may make me switch.

    Nice plugin. Do you think a blog with not a huge amount of posts should use this plugin too?

    Thanks for the plugin plug… I had not seen that one yet, I will have to check it out (as long as it doesn’t break the feeds).

    I was using this but, I know this is odd, it broke the category feeds. Normally that’s no big deal, but I’m using a category feed for email subscriptions.

    Excellent find Daniel ! I used to think that sig2feed is the only such plugin and even I wanted to add the post backlink. This plugin will solve the problem.
