I kept rss.php in the core and edited the rss2.php file in my theme to display titles, authors, time, etc but not post content. This was the perfect solution for me. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-disable-rss-#post-13453 Mon, 28 Jan 2008 20:12:11 +0000 schmitt 13453@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I deleted rss.php (just as I did register.php) from the core. I suppose deleting core files isn't as bad as editing them, though I don't like the solution. I also am in the process of editing the theme. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-disable-rss-#post-13393 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 22:37:22 +0000 schmitt 13393@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Would this prevent someone from hitting <a href="http://yoursite.com/forums/feed" rel="nofollow">http://yoursite.com/forums/feed</a> and getting a response?

Doesn't that accomplish what you want?</p> <p>Like in topic.php in your template you have this link:<br /> <code>&lt;a href=&quot;&lt;?php topic_rss_link(); ?&gt;</code></p> <p>Just remove that, and remove links like it from the other template files. What am I missing? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-disable-rss-#post-13388 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 22:05:44 +0000 schmitt 13388@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>The most important thing is that I remove the ability to get RSS. Removing autodiscovery is a secondary issue. The template files are easy to modify, I am not worried about that. The private forums plugin did a good job and there is very limited code in there dedicated to RSS. There must be a way to just shut it down with a simple filter plugin. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-disable-rss-#post-13377 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 18:04:35 +0000 chrishajer 13377@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Since it sounds like you're heavily modifying your install, I suppose you don't have a problem modifying core files. It makes upgrading to a new version of bbPress more difficult, but you've already started down that road.</p> <p>How about just changing bb-includes/template-functions.php and modifying what the bb_feed_head function returns (i.e. make it return no rss links at all.) I don't know if that takes care of everything or not. Maybe it just kills autodiscovery of feeds. But I think in that file is where you would make the changes you want to disable RSS altogether.</p> <p>There are rss links in the template files as well, so you should remove those too, so they don't appear. I think a combination of removing the links from the template and the rss links from the &lt;head&gt; would take care of it.</p> <p>Also, I imagine there is a way with a plugin to remove the rss feed links, to avoid modifying core files. I just don't know how to do that (add a plugin to remove links in the &lt;head&gt;.) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-disable-rss-#post-13375 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 17:51:37 +0000 schmitt 13375@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I am looking for a generalized way to stop all feeds from BBPress.</p> <p>Is there a core file I can delete? I deleted register.php to prevent any user registrations (and removed any links to it). Where is the 'beating heart' of the RSS so I can rip that out too?</p> <p>Note - I was using the private categories plugin which did this nicely but I have migrated to Amember and am coding the security right into the theme. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-disable-rss-#post-8660 Sun, 01 Jul 2007 23:53:39 +0000 Trent 8660@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>It is built into the code. You could disable the 'call' for the feed in topic.php if you really wanted to and/or the files that generate it (rss.php, etc)!</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-disable-rss-#post-8641 Sat, 30 Jun 2007 03:36:42 +0000 gspark 8641@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>RSS feed for this topic - is there a way to auto disable this or do we have to extract it ourselves </p>
