[resolved] RSS Feed by Author (5 posts)

    I have been searching for about 2 days for a way to create RSS feeds for each author.

    It seems like the old version of WP had this built in. Did they remove it in 2.0?

    do you have permalinks?

    try this:

    yourblog.com/wordpress/author/Administrator/feed

    substitute Administrator for a valid wordpress nickname.

    Thanks for the reply. I do have permalinks on, but I am getting a 404 with that particular link.

    I can't seem to find it at all in the documentation. Am I missing a blatant option somewhere?

    A link to your site would really help...

    And just tag /feed/ onto the end of the URL generated by the_author_posts_link().

    If you want that dynamic, then here's some code to do that:

    <?php echo '<a href="' . get_author_link(0, $authordata->ID, $authordata->user_nicename) . 'feed/" title="Feed for posts by ' . wp_specialchars(the_author($idmode, false)) . '">' . the_author($idmode, false) . '</a>'; ?>

    Of if you're looking to list out everyone's post feeds, try wp_list_authors().
