I discovered someone ripping off the content of my site through the RSS feed, so this plugin now optionally inserts a copyright claim at the beginnging of each post in the feed. The text is included whether the feed is accessed through this plugin's tag or through the normal WordPress feed address. This only affects the RSS feeds, not the actual Web pages.

This is otherwise a very basic plugin. Unless you don't have at least version 2.6.3 of WordPress, it assumes a few things, including:

  • WordPress is installed at the root level of your Web site. If it is not, edit the $path_to_wordpress variable in soj-tag-feed-rss.php to point to the appropriate location
  • You want to use RSS2 feeds. If you want to use RSS, uncomment the RSS feed type in soj-tag-feed-rss.php.
