The codex page for register_post_type seems to suggest that it should be possible to disable feed generation for custom post types:

 rewrite
    (boolean or array) (optional) Triggers the handling of rewrites for this post type. 
    To prevent rewrites, set to false.
...

$args array
...
    'feeds' => bool Should a feed permalink structure be built for this post type. 
        Defaults to has_archive value.

I read that as meaning this:

 register_post_type('People', array('rewrite' => array('feeds' => false)));

would result in my 'People' archive page not having this:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="My Site &raquo; People Feed"
    href="http://mysite.com/people/feed/" />

in its head. However, the above is output in the HTML. Have I misunderstood, or done something wrong? I do not want a feed to be generated.

Any help much appreciated.

  • Maybe the feed link is hardcoded in the header template of your current theme.

  • It's not unfortunately, it's coming out of wp_head()

In case it helps anyone...

I had misunderstood - the feeds argument of 'rewrite' was merely about the formatting of feed URLs (to use rewriting).

What I want is not to have a feed URL output in the <head> of my custom post type pages. The only way I have found to do this, is using 

remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links_extra', 3 );

although this will suppress the feed in other circumstances (categories etc), not just for my custom post type. If anyone knows how to do what I want I'd love to hear from you!
