Anyone know if it’s possible or not to get your custom fields to show up in an RSS feed? All I’m looking for is a “yes” or “no” at this point.
Oh heck, sure. Anything’s possible in this crazy ol’ world – just depends how much hacking you’re up for.
The feeds are generated with different php files depending on the feed flavor (rss/atom/rdf). See wp-feed.php in your install directory for the list.
There is a hook called ‘rss_item’ that may allow you to add custom fields using a plugin. If not, you can always hack the file(s) directly (watch your upgrades if you do).
Thanks for the reply Ming. I do not have rss_item in my wp-feed.php file, so would like to know how I would go about hacking the file to allow custom fields to show up in the rss?
BTW: I have multiple custom fields that I’d like to show. This would be a much more ideal situation than having to copy/paste all the info into the Excerpt field just to get it to show in an RSS feed.
