feed_links() cannot be removed from wp_head

[peaceablewhale]

Due to the way feed_links() is added to wp_head in automatic_feed_links(), it cannot be removed by a plugin.

[dd32]

Is there any reason why a plugin cannot call automatic_feed_links(false) directly?

[Denis-de-Bernardy]

adding to this, the filter (assuming we add any) should be in the function directly imo

First of all, I am surprised that there are comments in the report but Trac has not notified me by email. Is there a bug in Trac?

@dd32: I suspect that automatic_feed_links(false) is called by the plugin first, but then the templete calls automatic_feed_links(true).

A patch, if any, should be checked in to 2.8 as automatic_feed_links was designed to be modified by plugins according to #8878.

[Denis-de-Bernardy]

if you add this on the init hook, it should work:

automatic_feed_links(false);

[Denis-de-Bernardy]

100% it will, in fact.

That sounds plausable..

try hooking wp_head rather early and try it then:

add_action('wp_head', 'my_function', 5);

Thanks dd32. Your suggestion worked.
