Title: Syndication Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Syndication * [miserable09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miserable09/) * (@miserable09) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syndication/) * Maybe I’m a dummy-head, but how do I syndicate my content? Also interesting, I searched for “RSS” and “Syndication” and got no results. Weird huh?

Does yours not have those? * It’s just ‘built in’ to WP. With nice permalinks, I think you just add ‘/feed/’ or something to the end of the url, and it’ll give you back RSS. In the old days, it was pointing to wp-rss.php, wp-rss2.php, wp-atom.php, etc. * -d * Thread Starter [miserable09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miserable09/) * (@miserable09) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syndication/#post-395034) * I actually did that, but clicking on the link brings up a broken page. * [http://www.sadrhino.net](http://www.sadrhino.net) is the site.

Firefox, for instance, displays a feed icon in the toolbar. * If so, you can look it up in the source code — the URL will be in the `head` of your website, within a `link` element — something like `` Something like that, there may be another one for RSS as well. * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syndication/#post-395042) * … and also, most themes have that stupid “feed:/” built into the url which borks up most browsers. * Seriously, I’d edit my theme files to remove the hard coded “feed:/” and then you’ll see it when you click on it in a browser. * [maerk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maerk/) * (@maerk) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syndication/#post-395049) * Yeah, not much supports the `feed` protocol just yet, but in a couple of years it might become more widespread. * Thread Starter [miserable09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miserable09/) * (@miserable09) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syndication/#post-395056) * Now I’m getting the “no input file specified” error or just a blank page if I type in the direct URL: * [http://www.sadrhino.net/wp-rss2.php](http://www.sadrhino.net/wp-rss2.php) * You’re kidding me right?

And clearly, something is broken. You don’t have working permalinks, for one thing. * Thread Starter [miserable09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miserable09/) * (@miserable09) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syndication/#post-395137) * okay, how does one have working permalinks? * [davidchait](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidchait/) * (@davidchait) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syndication/#post-395169) * I think Otto meant ‘nice permalinks’. Which shouldn’t make a difference in general‘ functionality’ of the site, just makes it so that site/feed/ doesn’t work. * Looks to me like something is seriously borked on your site. Don’t know if you customized code, if the theme is somehow intercepting the rss request, or if there’s a plugin messing things up. But your RSS requests come up blank so far as I can see. * [maerk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maerk/) * (@maerk) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syndication/#post-395188) * You’re right, it’s normally very easy to syndicate, something’s come undone with your installation it seems. * Check that the feed PHP files are installed, they are called wp-atom.php, wp- rss.php, wp-rss2.php and wp-rdf.php (there might be more, but you really only need one, WP seems to go over the top a bit). * If those files exist, check that they’re not blank. * Also, check your relevant synidcation settings.
