<p>Improve the performance of your site by serving your feeds as static (XML) files.</p>
<h4>WARNING</h4>
<p>If you are not confident with creating/editing files or changing file permissions on your web server, this plugin may not be for you.</p>
<h4>Advantages</h4>
<ul>
<li>Reduces server processing load (reduces PHP and MySQL processing)</li>
<li>Increases server response time (server promptly returns the feed, no need to wait for PHP or MySQL)</li>
<li>Faster downloads (presuming you have compression configured on your web server)</li>
<li>Improves uptime (static files can continue to be served even if PHP or MySQL are offline)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Supported Feeds</h4>
<p>The Static Feed plugin can be used for any of the standard WordPress feeds as well as other feeds added by plugins such as <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/powerpress/" rel="ugc">Blubrry PowerPress</a>.</p>
<p>Here’s a brief list:</p>
<ul>
<li>RSS2 (default) Feed (example.com/feed/)</li>
<li>RSS 0.92 Feed (example.com/feed/rss/)</li>
<li>RDF Feed (example.com/feed/rdf/)</li>
<li>Atom Feed (example.com/feed/atom/)</li>
<li>Podcast Feed (example.com/feed/podcast/)</li>
</ul>
<p>Category, tag and comment feeds are currently not supported.</p>
<h4>How does it work?</h4>
<p>Anytime you modify a blog post, the <strong>Static Feed</strong> plugin stores the latest versions of your feeds as XML files on your web server. These locally saved XML files are then served directly by the web server, avoiding unnecessary PHP/MySQL processing.</p>
<h4>Two Ways Static Feed can serve your feeds</h4>
<ol>
<li>
<p>As XML files (e.g. example.com/feed.xml)</p>
<ul>
<li>format commonly used by Movable Type blogs</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>As permalinks (e.g. example.com/feed/)</p>
<ul>
<li>format used by WordPress when using the Permalinks feature</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<h4>Note about Permalink Feeds</h4>
<p>To use this plugin with your existing Permalink feeds (example.com/feed/), your .htaccess file needs to be writable. If your .htaccess file is not writable, the Static Feed plugin will give you instructions how to manually update your .htaccess file. If you cannot modify your .htaccess file, then you’re not going to be able to use this plugin for Permalink feeds.</p>
<h4>This plugin is not for everyone</h4>
<p>If you are using a feed hosting service such as FeedBurner or if your feed includes content that is generated by other factors (such as a star rating plugin), then this plugin is not for you.</p>

<h4>Global Feed Image</h4>
<p>Through Feedme, you can assign an image to your global feed. This ‘brands’ your feed to all readers. Options include:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Show Single Image On Global Feed:</strong> Enable / Disable image from the feed.</li>
<li><strong>Full URL To Custom Image:</strong> This is the full url path to your custom image. If left blank, it will use the plugin’s default image.</li>
<li><strong>Width x Height: Default:</strong> 75×75. Set this to the dimensions of your custom image.</li>
<li><strong>Image Link: Default:</strong> WordPress Install URL. Override url of the default image when it is clicked.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Post Feed Images</h4>
<p>Select the default image assigned to each post. Specify the default size to show in the feed. Options include:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Show Images Per Post In Feed:</strong> Enable / Disable default post image from displaying within the feed.</li>
<li><strong>Set Default Image Size: Default:</strong> Thumbnail. Set image size to either Thumbnail or Medium.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Feed Delay</h4>
<p>Frequently updating your latest posts? You can set the delay time it will show in the feed so your changes aren’t published out until you’re ready.</p>
<p>Many times, our clients have the need to post content, and then make quick changes / spelling corrections / etc. By setting a delay, your content will show up after the allotted number of minutes you specify in the delay. Call it a gut check if you will on publishing your content out to external sites / feed readers.</p>

<p>Disable Feeds: Using WordPress as a CMS? Perhaps you don’t want to display RSS on your site. Check the boxes next to each feed type to disable the feed.</p>
