Options

You can configure this plugin in _config.yml.

feed:
  enable: true
  type: atom
  path: atom.xml
  limit: 20
  hub:
  content:
  content_limit: 140
  content_limit_delim: ' '
  order_by: -date
  icon: icon.png
  autodiscovery: true
  template:

• enable - Enables or disables this plugin. Enabled by default.
• type - Feed type. atom or rss2. Specify ['atom', 'rss2'] to output both types. (Default: atom)
  • Example:

  feed:
    # Generate atom feed
    type: atom
  
    # Generate both atom and rss2 feeds
    type:
      - atom
      - rss2
    path:
      - atom.xml
      - rss2.xml
• path - Feed path. When both types are specified, path must follow the order of type value. (Default: atom.xml/rss2.xml)
• limit - Maximum number of posts in the feed (Use 0 or false to show all posts)
• hub - URL of the PubSubHubbub hubs (Leave it empty if you don't use it)
• content - (optional) set to 'true' to include the contents of the entire post in the feed.
• content_limit - (optional) Default length of post content used in summary. Only used, if content setting is false and no custom post description present.
• content_limit_delim - (optional) If content_limit is used to shorten post contents, only cut at the last occurrence of this delimiter before reaching the character limit. Not used by default.
• order_by - Feed order-by. (Default: -date)
• icon - (optional) Custom feed icon. Defaults to a gravatar of email specified in the main config.
• autodiscovery - Add feed autodiscovery. (Default: true)
  • Many themes already offer this feature, so you may also need to adjust the theme's config if you wish to disable it.
• template - Custom template path(s). This file will be used to generate feed xml file, see the default templates: atom.xml and rss2.xml.
  • It is possible to specify just one custom template, even when this plugin is configured to output both feed types,

  # (Optional) Exclude custom template from being copied into public/ folder
  # Alternatively, you could also prepend an underscore to its filename, e.g. _custom.xml
  # https://hexo.io/docs/configuration#Include-Exclude-Files-or-Folders
  exclude:
    - 'custom.xml'
  feed:
    type:
      - atom
      - rss2
    template:
      - ./source/custom.xml
    # atom will be generated using custom.xml
    # rss2 will be generated using the default template instead
