   Hello,

   I am trying to create a custom feed on the basis of the existing feeds (wordpress/wp-[rss2|atom|rss|...].php), but I am having trouble integrating it into wordpress so as to make it available through http://example.com/?feed=myspecialfeed

   I have currently simply copied the wp-rss2.php to wp-myspecialfeed.php, and found the functions do_feed_* in wp-includes/functions.php, and added my own function do_feed_myspecialfeed, but apparently this is not enough.

   Could somebody please tell me what else is needed to create a custom feed? Thanks in advance,

   Jakob.

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_Feeds does only say

   "There are a variety of ways to customize your feeds, through the use of third-party software you install and add-on to your WordPress site, or by manually changing the feed templates to meet your needs."

   which is not really illuminating ;-)

   I have just found that in rewrite.php, there is also a need to add myspecialfeed to the known feeds in $feeds in line 220, and to the $default_feeds on line 704 ff.

   However, http://example.com/?feed=myspecialfeed still doesn't output anything.

   Oh well, it is much easier and obvious to call the created template directly, like this:

   http://example.com/wp-myspecialfeed.php

   This is resolved.
