Disable comment rss feeds for pages in wordpress

Question

I am currently working on the completion of a custom template and my last hurdle is to be able to remove the comments feed link being added to the head of the page.

For example: in firefox when you open any of the pages on my site there is an rss icon, when clicked I am shown 3 options to add to my reader but the last two are related to comments.

The culprits are located in the

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Example Title &raquo; Comments Feed" href="http://example.com/comments/feed" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Example Title &raquo; Home Page Comments Feed" href="http://example.com/home-page/feed" />

I wish to have the main feed, which contains blog posts from the blog area of the site but do not want any comments, therefore comment feeds are useless to me!

I am wondering if there is a way I can remove these via the functions.php or some way through wordpress rather than coming up with another (messier) solution?

Thanks, Tristan

Answer 1

Add this to functions.php

add_filter('post_comments_feed_link', '__return_null');

Answer 2

This is what most plugins and devs use:

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

Add it in your theme's functions.php (before the last ?> if you don't know what you are doing).

Answer 3

None of the above solutions worked for me on Wordpress 3.3.2.
In a category page, for example I had:

application/rss+xml" title="title feed" href="http://www.example.com/feed/" />
application/rss+xml" title="Title Comments Feed" href="http://www.example.com/comments/feed/" />
application/rss+xml" title="Title Category Feed" href="http://www.example.com/cat/feed/" />

To remove the first and the second line (main feed and comments feed), I'v haded the following code to /wp-content/themes/my-theme-name/functions.php

remove_action('wp_head', 'feed_links', 2); 
add_action('wp_head', 'my_feed_links');

On main page none of those will be displayed.
