More information

See WordPress Developer Resources: feed_links()

This function has been a part of WordPress’s core functionality for quite a while and is still in active use as of the latest versions. If there are any changes to this function, it will be updated on the WordPress Developer Resources page.

Examples

In this example, the feed_links() function is used without any arguments to simply display the default feed links.

feed_links(); // This will display the default feed links

In this example, the feed_links() function is given an array argument to customize the feed links.

feed_links(array(
    'separator'   => ' | ', 
    'postfeed'    => 'Post Feed Link', 
    'commentfeed' => 'Comment Feed Link',
)); 
// This will display the feed links with a '|' separator and custom names

Displaying Only Post Feed Link

In this case, the feed_links() function is used to display only the post feed link and not the comments feed link.

feed_links(array(
    'comments' => false,
)); 
// This will display only the post feed link

This is an opposite example to the previous one, where we display only the comments feed link.

feed_links(array(
    'posts' => false,
)); 
// This will display only the comments feed link

Removing Separator

In the final example, the feed_links() function is used to display the feed links without any separator.

feed_links(array(
    'separator' => '',
)); 
// This will display the feed links without any separator
