VisualWP Restrict RSS Feeds

The Restrict RSS Feeds plugin gives you several useful options for managing your feed such as:

1. Switching off all RSS feeds in your WordPress installation
2. Restricting access to authorized users by requiring a password for access
3. Removing descriptions and excerpts from the feed
4. Removing author names from the feed
5. Removing WordPress version numbers from the feed
6. Removing RSS feed auto-discovery links from the HTML header ()
7. Adding post featured images to RSS feed entries and media enclosures
8. Delaying feed publication (anti-scraper buffer) with a configurable delay time

RSS is a type of web feed that allows your readers to automatically get new content in email newsletters and RSS feed readers.

RSS feeds can be useful for your website when running a blog but are unnecessary if using WordPress as a basic website builder or ecommerce site. Some blog posts may also be gated content and be intended to be visible by authorized users only.
