How to Build a WordPress Feed on a Category
Monday, March 26th, 2007Say you want to create a feed on each track of a category from your content management system (aka blog). (I’ll explain why in a separate Article.)
You have to do a few things to achieve this easily and successully.
1. You have to setup your Permalink structure ahead of time with a custom structure. This structure should include /%category%/
Example: here’s one I use
/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%category%/%postname%/
In addition to setting up a feed option on categories its good for Google PR reasons as well, as you category becomes part of the file name.
Go to Wordpress, Select Options > Permalinks >create custom structure
You will also need to copy the code that will be generated and add it to your .htaccess file and upload it via ftp (just the once)
This is the hardest step, everything else is very easy!
2. Then in your blog simply type your url for your blog
ex. mydomain.com/wordpress/
Then in the address bar add the category name and then /feed/
ex. mydomain.com/wordpress/webtips/feed/
3. Now you have a feed! You can take that feed address and burn it into a specialty on Buzz Boost and then you can really do some fancy things outside of your blog!
