disableKinds and RSSLink not playing together

I have been looking for a way to make this work also…

my logic would suggest your standard code…

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

is at fault as it is only looking for the link name which is set by default in config to index.xml - so therefore… there is a link name set in config and your <link… will be generated and throw a 404 as you have RSS turned off in disableKinds

but, @rdwatters .RSSLink is still listed as the standard method for access in docs - template/rss

I think you are on the right track looking to the newer disableKinds array…

I have tried…

{{ if not (in .Site.DisableKinds "RSS") }}
<link rel="alternate" href="{{ .RSSlink }}" type="application/rss+xml" title="{{ .Site.Title }}">
{{ end }}

also tried…

{{ if not (isset .Site.DisableKinds “RSS”) }}

but my knowledge/experience may be lacking as it throws errors either way with …

…can’t evaluate field DisableKinds

Any help in the right direction would be appreciated
