I’m currently trying to set up an RSS feed for my website’s changelog in the section `aenderungen` – without creating any other RSS feeds anywhere in the project. I’ve already succeeded in disabling all feeds that I don’t want to have, except for the feed of the section `regeln`.

Here’s my current config:

```auto
outputs:
  aenderungen:
    - HTML
    - RSS
  taxonomy:
    - HTML
  term:
    - HTML
  terms:
    - HTML
  list:
    - HTML
  page:
    - HTML
  home:
    - HTML
  regeln:
    - HTML

```

Here’s the front matter of `regeln/_index.md`:

```auto
---
title: Alle Regeln
layout: list
outputs:
  - HTML
---

```

(I’ve got only those two sections.)

How do I disable the RSS feed for `regeln`? Is there maybe a more efficient way to disable all but one RSS feed?

Thank you!

I defined my own RSS feed output with a different kind name and added it to the needed section.

You must roll your own templates / output formats.

Pick what you need from my [samles](https://github.com/gj52/HugoSample).

PM in German works too 😉

Thank you! This solution works for me now! Here’s my current setup:

`aenderungen.feed.xml` as the feed template.

`config.yaml`:

```auto
outputs:
  aenderungen:
    - HTML
    - feed
  changelog:
    - HTML
    - feed

mediaTypes:
  application/rss+xml:
    suffixes: xml

outputFormats:
  feed:
    baseName: index
    mediaType: application/rss+xml
    isPlainText: false
    isHTML: false

```

For some reason, the creation of the feed was neither triggered by the section name `aenderungen` nor by the layout name `changelog`, so I had to set the output format in the front matter of `aenderungen/_index.md`:

```auto
outputs:
  - HTML
  - feed

```

outputs uses only the default kinds

Oh, that makes sense, thanks! (Not sure how I came up with that in the first place though 😅)
