RSS Template Lookup Order

You can use a single RSS template to generate all of your RSS feeds or create a specific template for each individual feed.

  1. /layouts/section/<section>.rss.xml
  2. /layouts/_default/rss.xml
  3. /themes/<theme>/layouts/section/<section>.rss.xml
  4. /themes/<theme>/layouts/_default/rss.xml

{{% note "Hugo Ships with an RSS Template" %}} Hugo ships with its own RSS 2.0 template. The embedded template will be sufficient for most use cases. {{% /note %}}

RSS pages are of the type Page and have all the page variables available to use in the templates.

Section RSS

A sections RSS will be rendered at /<SECTION>/index.xml (e.g., http://spf13.com/project/index.xml).

Hugo provides the ability for you to define any RSS type you wish and can have different RSS files for each section and taxonomy.

Configure RSS

By default, Hugo will create an unlimited number of RSS entries. You can limit the number of articles included in the built-in RSS templates by assigning a numeric value to rssLimit: field in your project's config file.

The following values will also be included in the RSS output if specified in your sites configuration:

languageCode = "en-us"
copyright = "This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License."

[author]
    name = "My Name Here"

The Embedded rss.xml

This is the default RSS template that ships with Hugo. It adheres to the RSS 2.0 Specification.

<rss version="2.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
  <channel>
    <title>{{ with .Title }}{{.}} on {{ end }}{{ .Site.Title }}</title>
    <link>{{ .Permalink }}</link>

    <atom:link href="{{.URL}}" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />
    {{ range first 15 .Data.Pages }}

      <title>{{ .Title }}</title>
      <link>{{ .Permalink }}</link>
      <pubDate>{{ .Date.Format "Mon, 02 Jan 2006 15:04:05 -0700" | safeHTML }}</pubDate>

      <guid>{{ .Permalink }}</guid>
      <description>{{ .Content | html }}</description>
    </item>
    {{ end }}
  </channel>
</rss>

{{% warning "XML Header" %}} Hugo will automatically add the following header line to this file on render. Please do not include this in the template as it's not valid HTML.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>

{{% /warning %}}

Reference your RSS Feed in <head>

In your header.html template, you can specify your RSS feed in your <head></head> tag like this:

{{ if .RSSLink }}
  <link href="{{ .RSSLink }}" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="{{ .Site.Title }}" />
  <link href="{{ .RSSLink }}" rel="feed" type="application/rss+xml" title="{{ .Site.Title }}" />
{{ end }}

...with the auto-discovery link specified by the line with rel="alternate".

The .RSSLink will render the appropriate RSS feed URL for the section, whether it's everything, posts in a section, or a taxonomy.

If you reference your RSS link, be sure to specify the MIME type with type="application/rss+xml".

<a href="{{ .URL }}" type="application/rss+xml" target="_blank">{{ .SomeText }}</a>
