Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
The ability to turn off RSS feeds is absolutely critical to many of the web sites I am creating. The popularity of Drupal is increasing and word on the street is good. But, creating an absolutely private web site is impossible due to RSS feeds still being live with even private sites.

Shane Birley CreditAttribution: Shane Birley commentedAnother solution might be to have encrypted RSS, or random generation of long RSS URL strings - where the URLs are randomly generated when the site is set to "private", etc.

Shane Birley CreditAttribution: Shane Birley commentedAh, this should be better documented (or perhaps I have not read it yet) but there is concern for "private sections" of web sites.
More detail to my request: if the private section (locked access either through simple access, or taxonomy access), RSS feeds are still available. Does that make more sense?

Shane Birley CreditAttribution: Shane Birley commentedAnd, perhaps, this is a module level feature request and not in core. In either case, this feature might need more documentation.
Really, I am not THAT much of a dork. ;-)

killes@www.drop.org CreditAttribution: killes@www.drop.org commentedThe feeds might be still available but non of the "protected" nodes should be in them. it they are, there's a bug.
Comment #7
Shane Birley CreditAttribution: Shane Birley commentedI will document some instances I have found where RSS feeds are still available. I will close this feature request and make a new one at a later date.
