Wouldn’t that just confuse your readers? If I follow a link to an article, I don’t plan on having to hunt it down once I get to a site.
I think your best option is to provide a prominent link to your home page on each single post page, but if you *really* want to change item links in feeds, you need to edit the individual syndication files. For the RSS2 feed, edit wp-rss2.php, and change this line (under <item>):
<link><?php permalink_single_rss() ?></link>
to:
<link><?php bloginfo_rss('url') ?></link>
Excellent answer Kafkaesqui.
As one who lives by RSS. my reader contains over 1000 separate feeds, I would quickly drop a feed that directed me to the entire site vice an individual post.
It would be like being drected to a specific page in a book and then having to sift thru a table of contents, a forward, a bibliogragrahy… etc before I saw the content desired. Noy very user friendly.
Thank you very much for the fast reply.
Hello, how can I link to a category rather than the index page? 🙂
For instance, it would be useful for my Asides. You can subscribe to the Aside feed separately from the main feed, the Aside posts are very short, there is no need to link to the single post page. I’d like to link to the Aside category.
