What are author specific RSS feeds?
WordPress automatically creates an RSS feed for every author on your site. They contain the posts from that author in chronological order and allow a user to subscribe to this feed and get everything that author writes.
Why would you disable the author specific RSS feeds?
These might useful if you have multiple authors on your site, but if you have only one author, that feed is a direct copy of your site’s overall RSS feed. At that point, it’s better to just disable it entirely.
How can you disable the author specific RSS feeds?
- Go to your WordPress dashboard.
- Hover over Yoast SEO and click on “Settings”.
- In settings, click on “Advanced”.
- Then click on “Crawl optimization”.
- Find “Remove post authors feeds” and disable the checkbox.
