RSS feed: author + topic (5 posts)

    I know how to get the RSS feed of an author,
    feed://foo.org/author/bar/feed
    and of a category
    feed://foo.org/categories/people/bar/feed

    but how can I get an RSS feed of posts that have both author and category of "bar" ?

    In this case, I'm looking for all posts by the user "Multiplicity" that've been categorized "Multiplicity", meaning posts by me and about myself.

    thanks

    I do not believe that is available in stock WordPress, you would need to use a plugin or create one that would let you mash up both the user AND the category in a feed.

    Do you know how to even do that as a search? Or do I need to find an Advanced Search plugin?

    Someone please test to see if this is correct, but a URL of the following form might work -- as far as the search goes.

    http://foo.org/author/multiplicity/&cat=14

    where cat 14 is the category "bar"

    and the RSS feed would be
    feed://foo.org/author/multiplicity/&cat=14/feed

    I discovered this after playing with the plugin "Search Unleashed" but I don't think the plugin is necessary to make this work -- just to make the url apparent to me.

    why do you need someone to test it? You can test it yourself to see if it's correct.
