Examples
#1 Changing the request for feeds
Suppose we have a custom field skip_rss_flag where we set it to true if we want to exclude the post from the RSS feed.
Then, using the conditional tag is_feed(), we can change the request for our needs. To do this, insert the following code into the theme functions.php file and specify the custom field skip_rss_flag with the value true (or any other non-empty value) for the post you want to exclude from RSS:
add_filter( 'posts_where', 'skip_post_from_rss' );
function skip_post_from_rss( $where ){
global $wpdb;
// not feed.
if( ! is_feed() ){
return $where;
}
$where .= " AND $wpdb->posts.ID NOT IN (
SELECT distinct(post_id) from $wpdb->postmeta
where $wpdb->postmeta.meta_key = 'skip_rss_flag'
) ";
return $where;
}
