If you’ve ever wanted to use WordPress feeds to deliver content into other areas, and want to do it via custom fields, you’ll know that WordPress feeds don’t display custom fields.

With this plugin, you can show all your custom fields in your feed so you can pull data out of WordPress and use it with other systems.

Custom fields are available inside a <custom_field> element in each <item>.

FAQ

Where are my custom fields in my RSS?

If you have any custom fields on a post, you’ll see a <custom_field> element inside each <item> . Inside will be all of your Custom Fields as a key value pair.

Why don’t I see any elements?

If you don’t have any custom fields, you won’t see them. Also, by default, any custom fields starting with an underscore are hidden. If you want to show them, try the Settings area and switching the option on to show hidden custom fields.

    I have enabled this plugin but it is not including my custom fields in my RSS news feed. Any ideas why those aren’t being completed?

  2. Rich Gubby says:

    Have you checked the source of the feed? Custom fields may not appear if you’re looking at the field in a browser, but they’re actually there!

    What good is an RSS feed if it isn’t going to show up in peoples’ browsers?

    Hello,

    The plugin did work well until we upgrade to WP 3.0.4. Now, the feeds are broken. Feed Validator (http://feedvalidator.org) detects a few “Missing namespace” errors…

    Why ?

    Thanks for your help
