Hi,

On discussion list by tag it seems that easydiscuss is generating RSS feeds. The problem is that those RSS feeds are broken and generates several error in the Google Search Console.

You can check that here: https://www.joomunited.com/component/easydiscuss/tags/k2-articles
Hit F12 and search for RSS, you will find broken link in the chrome dev tool (or any other).

My question is how could I make it work or simply disable it? Maybe it's also on other views but I'm not sure.

Cheers, Tristan from JoomUnited.
Hi,

It seems the RSS links are completely removed, that do the trick for me.
Will it be included in a next version? or it's another file I need to track

Thanks.

Hey Tristan,

Hm, it looks like Joomla isn't returning the correct URL for some reasons. Could you try editing the file /components/com_easydiscuss/views/tags/view.html.php and at line 79 and 80 remove the codes below,

[gist]
$this->doc->addHeadLink(JRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_easydiscuss&view=tags&id=' . $tag ) . $concatCode . 'format=feed&type=rss' , 'alternate' , 'rel' , array('type' => 'application/rss+xml', 'title' => 'RSS 2.0') );
$this->doc->addHeadLink(JRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_easydiscuss&view=tags&id=' . $tag ) . $concatCode . 'format=feed&type=atom' , 'alternate' , 'rel' , array('type' => 'application/atom+xml', 'title' => 'Atom 1.0') );
[/gist]

Hm, to be honest, these rss attributes are added on the tag page as some users might want to use their feed readers to monitor posts from the respective category. I am not sure taking it out would be a good idea. Instead, we need to look into why these feed links are generated incorrectly.

I have already logged a ticket for this internally
