Add Portfolio to RSS feed
-
I am using Sketch as a theme and would like my RSS feed to pull the ‘projects’ on my site.
Is that something that I could add to the CSS files….which would mean upgrading, I guess?

Thanks! -
Sorry, but that’s not possible – the RSS feed picks up regular posts only, not any custom post types like portfolios, testimonials, or food menus. There isn’t an upgrade that would let you do that.

There is an article here about how to add code to your site that will add projects to your RSS feed.
It does work because when I had my site privately hosted and used a themetrust theme, I was able to make that change.
So I am wondering if I upgraded on wordpress.com, could I also add this code to my new site?
Would an upgrade give me access to the theme’s functions.php file?:“You would need to open your theme’s functions.php file and add the following code within the PHP markup:”

That method would only work on a self-hosted site where you’re running the WordPress software on your own hosting. There’s no access to the functions or other PHP files on WordPress.com, and no upgrades allow it. Sorry about that!
If you’re interested in switching over to a self-hosted site because this feature is important to you, our recommended hosts are here:

Thanks for clearing that up Kathryn.
I have been through malware hell and back with 2 different hosts these last 2 years and prefer the safety, reliability and dependability of wordpress.com I didn’t appreciate it before, but I sure do now!
;) It’s a scary world out there! -
I totally understand! Glad to hear you’ve found a comfortable home in the WordPress.com family. :)
