The No Feed plugin is a WordPress plugin that simply disables (or removes) your WordPress feeds. The typical blogger will not need such a plugin. However, it is occasionally necessary for whatever reason and therefore this plugin. Original idea (and code) from here.
Why not just delete files? To me, that’s a bit hackish, although it’s what I would normally do. And besides, isn’t a plugin cooler?
Features
- Prevents display of any feed (rdf, rss, atom, etc.)
- Disables outgoing pings for newly published posts
- Issue a 404 File Not Found error for feeds
To Do
Issue a 404 File Not Found error for feeds
Installation
- Upload nofeed.php to your WordPress plugins directory. (/wp-content/plugins)
- Activate plugin.

Thanks for this plugin. It is perfect for a new contact sheet I made, where feeds would have been silly. Your work is appreciated.

nana: It might be. I don’t have an account there. If you would like to try it out and give us a report, it would be appreciated!

Hahaha! The referral link you posted, although sad, was quite amusing. I give a big cheer to the folks to kept their calm!
This is a fantastic concept and I’d sure like to try it out. I’ve running the latest WP, and when I tried to activate the plugin, nothing happened.
Regardless, I appreciate your effort.

Must echo Kyle’s report. Running WP 2.6; the plugin does nothing.
