Feed Director Plugin

Yet another rewrite plugin. The Feed Director Plugin provides rewrite rules for common feed filenames used by other blogging platforms. Files such as index.xml, index.rdf, rss.xml, rss2.xml, atom.xml, *.xml are directed to the appropriate WP handler. This works for mod_rewrite as well as WP’s internal rewriter.

With this plugin, the feed links from your previous blogging platform will continue to work. Even if not using it to aid migration, the plugin can be handy for publishing your feeds in some commonly searched places. All of WP’s usual feed URIs will continue to work.

  6. [...] A simpler example of this is Ryan Boren’s Feed Director (http://boren.nu/archives/2005/03/29/feed-director-plugin/) plugin. This simply redirects URLs like http://example.com/feed.xml to http://example.com/feed/rss2: [...]

  7. [...] После перестановки блогового движка старые фидовые файлы(index.xml,index.rdf) обновляться перестали. Но их читает определенное количество людей и для них создавалась иллюзия что данный блог просто не обновляется. Только что пофиксил данный баг путем установки махонького плагинчика FeedDirector, который просто переписывает имена старых фидов. Вещь достаточно тривиальная, только вот возится самому не хотелось и я взял готовое решение. [...]

  8. This isn’t working with WP 2.x’s model. I’ll need to look at what to do, but it’s sending response headers out of synch.

    Hi, I just downloaded this and installed it. I’m using WP2.0.1, and it does not appear to work under that. I activated the plugin, and yet going to http://www.nehrlich.com/blog/index.xml just points back to the main blog page. Any hints on making this work?

    Thanks!

    Does this actually work? I tried it out but no such luck.

    My situation:
    I have http://www.graphicalwonder.com/atom.xml that people are currently subscribed too.

    Im testing wordpress and using http://www.graphicalwonder.com/blog

    All I did in the php was edit it to say atom.xml => feed=rss2

    Any tips?

    Any plans to upgrade this plugin to be 2.0-compatable? Would save my day! :)

    This plug-in does not work on WordPress 2.0.2 by my experience with it. I’m pulling my hair out trying to get a feed output that Technorati can find. Also every time I write a new post I have to renew my feed with Feedburner as well, I get it working one day, then the very next post I write it won’t update itself.

    I am also finding myself unable to make this work with WordPress 2.0.2

  14. [...] Today’s task will be getting the Feed Director plug-in working, so users who are subscribed to the old Radio-generated RSS feed will seamlessly be reconnected to the WordPress feed.  And then I can start winding down the discussion of WordPress, php and MySQL, and ramp back up on the really important stuff, like how to cook pork shoulder in Cubano style.

  15. [...] Feed Director is helping me redirect /index.rdf, /rss.xml, atom.xml, etc. I’ll probably drop this plugin in favor of /feed. [...]

  17. [...] So when I made the move anyone who had subscribed from my old site would not know I had switched platforms. To solve this type of problem Ryan Boren wrote the Feed Director plugin for WordPress. The plugin rewrites rules for common feed filenames used by other blogging platforms. Files such as index.xml, index.rdf, rss.xml, rss2.xml, atom.xml, *.xml are directed to the appropriate WordPress handler so that folks pointing to my old feed address get the new feed content. [...]
