Here is a very useful piece of code that will allow you to create a new RSS feed in WordPress.
Indeed, we sometimes need to provide an RSS feed independent of the native feed. For this, there is a piece of code that I discovered on Yoast!
1) Create a new page template called pagerss.php
Start from a blank page in Notepad and insert the following code, before uploading it to your theme folder:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Custom Feed
*/
$numposts = 10;
function custom_rss_date($timestamp = null) {
$timestamp = ($timestamp==null) ? time(): $timestamp;
echo date(DATE_RSS, $timestamp);
}
$posts = query_posts('showposts='.$numposts);
$lastpost = $numposts – 1;
header(“Content-Type: application/rss+xml; charset=UTF-8”);
echo ' ';
?>
<channel>
Your URL
your description
fr-fr
post_date_gmt) ); ?>
post_date_gmt) ); ?>
Your mail
<?php foreach ($posts as $post) { ?>
<item>
ID); ?>
<![CDATA[ post_content; ?>]]>
post_date_gmt) ); ?>
ID); ?>
</item>
<?php } ?>
</channel>
</rss>
You can replace the “Your…” fields with your own fields.
2) Create a new page in WordPress
Publish a new page from your WordPress admin, affiliating it with the “Custom Feed” page template that we have just created above.
3) Launch your published page
Once the page is published, launch it. You should see your new RSS feed!

Thank you for this article which is a very good translation. That said, wouldn't it be more relevant to give the source?
Instead of stupidly renaming half a function, I would find it much more “fair play” to quote: http://yoast.com/custom-rss-feeds-wordpress/
Sincerely
In time for me, thank you for reminding me, I added the source to the article.
No worries, I’ll take this opportunity to point out to you that there remains a “yoast_rss_date” function in the one you give 😉
Correct, thank you very much, it is corrected. Clearly, it wasn’t my day :)
Hello, thank you for this little article, I have a little problem, I have an error on the first line when I try to load the created page:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE
I looked for solutions, but I still haven't found anything, do you know where this could come from?
thanks in advance
Thank you for the tutorial, it's really better, a beautiful page template dedicated to rss.
Thanks for this tutorial
