Hello! I have a question: I have the following structure:

```auto
content
  - blog
    - post1.md
    - post2.md
    - ...
  - projects
    - project1.md
    - project2.md
    - ...
  - about
  - contact
  - ...

```

and I would like to use an RSS feed for my blog, but I don’t want one for my projects subfolder. As far as I have seen, there is no way to disable the feed only for certain sections of my sites (or only enable it in some sections), since `disableKinds` afects the whole site. Is there any way to do it?

Similarly, I don’t want a feed on my root with all my pages on the site (including the about or contact pages).

Thank you!

Have a look at “build options” (use the search).

Thank you for answering so quickly! If I understood correctly, with the build options I can’t really disable the feed for a subsection. I can disable certain pages from appearing in the feed, but that also makes them disappear from the sitemap (which is an unintended side effect).

OK, I read your question a little fast.

What you can do instead is to have a look at the `cascade` keyword and configure the `outputs` with that. What you then want to do is to disable RSS for all kinds, and then just toggle them on for the pages/sections you want.

I will try this, thank you!
