http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/tag-feed.php?tag=tag_name
To Get Started:
Important: the Post Indexer plugin must be installed and activated on your site before installing this plugin.
Once the Global Tag Feed plugin is installed, move the tag-feed.php file from your plugins folder to your wp-content folder.
Now network-activate the plugin. Your new feed will be created at:
http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/tag-feed.php?tag=tag_name.
You can check that it is working correctly by:
Step 1: Publishing a few new posts with the category or tag you want to create a feed.
Step 2: Checking the feed by going to the tag feed URL in your web browser.
Please note:
- It can take some time for the first few posts to appear in the tag feed URL in your web browser and normally takes longer to feed through to RSS readers like Google Reader.
- So if your posts don’t appear in the tag feed when first published check again in an hour.
- The tag feed displays feed from public sites only. Posts from privates sites aren’t displayed.
