No RSS feed for category and tag combination

Hi there,

I’m trying to output a RSS feed of posts that belong to a certain category and a a certain tag like this:
http://www.example.com/category/categoryname/tag/tagname/feed
Although the separate feeds for category and tag are working fine, the combination of them is not working.

Example:
https://www.feedotter.com/blog/category/b2b-resources/tag/pardot/

Hi Philipp,

Thank you for writing in, this RSS feed URL actually works https://www.feedotter.com/blog/category/b2b-resources/tag/pardot/feed/, can you clarify, what is the issue?

Thanks,

Hi @friech,

sorry for the confusion. The RSS Feed URL was an example of a working setup.
It doesn’t work on my Pro Theme Websites where I encounter a 404 error instead:
https://team-awo.de/kategorie/bezirke/marzahn-hellersdorf/schlagwort/awo-promensch/feed/

This subcategory feed is working:
https://team-awo.de/kategorie/bezirke/marzahn-hellersdorf/feed
This tag feed is working too:
https://team-awo.de/schlagwort/awo-promensch/feed/

But the combination isn’t although there are posts with both the category and the tag.

Hi @ArtOfSpring,

I have checked your categories and pages and didn’t found the page/post for which you are trying to get the Feed. If that page/post is not available it will not show the feed against it.

Can you please check that the URL for which you are trying to get the feed actually exists? If that exists but still you are not getting the feed, please let us know for further investigation.

Thanks

Hi @tristup,

I’m trying to get a feed of posts that have both the subcategory “bezirke/marzahn-hellersdorf”
https://team-awo.de/kategorie/bezirke/marzahn-hellersdorf/
and the tag “awo-promensch”
https://team-awo.de/schlagwort/awo-promensch/

There are a few posts that have both parameters but I can’t get an URL or feed for it.

Hi @ArtOfSpring,

The RSS feed URL for https://team-awo.de/kategorie/bezirke/marzahn-hellersdorf/ is https://team-awo.de/kategorie/bezirke/marzahn-hellersdorf/feed/.

And the RSS feed URL for https://team-awo.de/schlagwort/awo-promensch/ is https://team-awo.de/schlagwort/awo-promensch/feed/.

You can check this article on how you can get the RSS feed URL.

Hope that helps.

Thank you.

Hi @marc_a,

sorry for the confusion, I know these are the RSS feed URLs.
I need an URL/feed for the combination of them.

A feed that is showing posts from a certain category that also belong to a specific tag.
Category path:
/kategorie/bezirke/marzahn-hellersdorf/
Tag path:
/schlagwort/awo-promensch/

Hi @ArtOfSpring,

The Category and the Tag are two different taxonomies and that can’t be combined into one as you are expecting. If you are expecting the feed of the posts which have the category and the tag which you are mentioning here, you need to do the custom code which will return the posts that are assigned with this category and tags.
The custom coding is out of the scope of theme support, I would suggest you hire a developer who can assist you to do the customization or you can avail of our newly launched service called One, where the customization questions are answered. You can also go through the following articles which may be helpful on this.

Hope it helps.

Hi @tristup,

Thanks for getting back to me.
I’ll look it into it - thanks for the links.

I thought it would be possible out of the box as stated here:


http://www.example.com/category/categoryname/tag/tagname/feed

Which is why I was wondering if it’s a theme related issue.
But sure if this isn’t possible out of the box I’ll work on the solution.

Hi @ArtOfSpring,

It is not at all related to the Theme, I would suggest you follow the reference link given in my previous reply.

Thanks
