I tried editing wp_includes>feed-rss2.php and cannot see any changes in the output of the system when I look at the rss feed

What am I missing

Can you tell us how to modify the feed-rss2.php to customize the feeds?

I like the related posts idea. I didn’t know you could actually do this. Thanks PC…

The problem is that Instant Upgrade (which I insist, is FANTASTIC), changes the ownership of the files to the apache webserver, so in order to modify the files I have to manually change the owner via a terminal with chown and the change the file. And back next time I use Instant Upgrade …..

But I guess I will have to do it that way for a while … :D

Thanks !

@hombrelobo – I keep a back up of my edited feed php file. I upgrade wordpress in the usual way (or as you do), then I download the concerned php file via FTP, edit it in notepad and upload it back. Works!

@Arpit – Its actually very simple to edit the php file in any text editor. You just need to add a few lines of html. Keep a back up copy and revert back if something goes wrong.

I prefer it if there was some plugin to do this rather than editing core files.

I have a problem with that …. I use Instant Upgrade (great plugin that automatically upgrades to the lates stable version), but since it takes control of the core files, it doesn’t let me modify the rss file afterwards ……

mmmmmm
