Postqueue Feeds

Description

An extension for Postqueue. For every postqueue it publishes an RSS feed containing that queue’s posts, in exactly the order the queue puts them in.

Two addresses lead to a queue’s feed, both using the queue’s slug:

  • https://example.com/feed/my-queue/
  • https://example.com/?feed=my-queue

Nothing has to be set up. Every postqueue gets its feed the moment it exists – including queues added later.

Under Tools › Postqueues, where Postqueue lists the queues, this plugin adds a Feed column showing each queue’s address – so it can be read off and copied where the queue is managed.

Templates

The feed is rendered from template/postqueue-feed-rss2.php, a copy of the RSS2 template WordPress ships. A theme can replace it by putting a file of the same name in a plugin-parts folder, or in any sub folder of one:

  • your-theme/plugin-parts/postqueue-feed-rss2.php
  • your-theme/plugin-parts/anything/postqueue-feed-rss2.php

Child themes take precedence over parent themes.

Installation

  1. Install and activate Postqueue first – without it this plugin has nothing to publish.
  2. Install Postqueue Feeds through Plugins › Add New, or upload it to /wp-content/plugins/.
  3. Activate it through the Plugins menu. That is all: activating rebuilds the rewrite rules by itself.

FAQ

Do I have to save the permalink settings?

No. Activating the plugin rebuilds the rewrite rules, and the rule covers every queue slug at once – so a postqueue created afterwards has its feed straight away. Up to version 1.0 this was necessary, which is why older instructions ask for it.

Can a queue’s feed still be reached as my-queue.xml?

No, that address is gone as of 2.0.0. The rule behind it matched every .xml address on the site – wp-sitemap.xml among them – and answered those with a feed instead of their own content. Use /feed/<slug>/.

Which posts appear in a feed?

Every published post in the queue, in the queue’s order, with no paging limit. Scheduled posts and drafts are left out.
