01 / Interactive demonstration
Feed links from real categories and tags
These are the actual published outputs of the widget for a sample category and tag: the default link, an orange RSS button, the term name as the label, and a tag feed.
02 / Inside WordPress
Term feed link controls in Elementor
Content › Content source uses the term of the archive being viewed or a selected taxonomy and term. Behaviour opens the feed in a new tab. Display sets the label, an RSS icon with its position, and hidden screen-reader context such as '(RSS feed for Field notes)'. The Style tab covers alignment, typography, colours, background, border, shadow, Hover and Focus states, radius, padding and underline, plus icon colour, size and gap.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use term feed link
Readers who follow one topic want that topic's RSS feed, not the whole site's. WordPress already creates a feed for every category and tag, but finding and typing its URL into a button is error-prone and breaks when a slug changes. Term feed link uses the feed URL WordPress generates, either for the archive being viewed or for a term you pick.
Podcast or news sections
Point listeners to the feed for one show or section.
Sidebars and footers
Offer feeds for your most popular topics.

06 / Choose the right approach
Term feed link and Elementor alternatives
Compare the existing Elementor workflow with this Complementor module before choosing your setup.
Elementor Button with a typed URL
A Button can link to /category/name/feed/, but you must type and update it for each term. This widget uses the URL WordPress generates.
Site-wide RSS link
The main /feed/ covers all posts. This widget links to one category's or tag's feed.
07 / Requirements and compatibility
Term feed link compatibility with Elementor
- Requires Elementor.
- Public taxonomy terms with WordPress feeds only.
- Link only; no subscriptions or email delivery.
Complementor uses classic Elementor APIs. Atomic-native controls are not implemented. Check your theme, cache and integrations on a staging site before release.
08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot term feed link
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is nothing shown on my page?
With Current term, the widget only renders on a category, tag or other taxonomy archive. Use Selected term elsewhere.
Why does Selected term show a notice?
The term must exist and belong to the selected taxonomy, which must be public.
Why does the feed have no items?
The term has no published posts yet, or feeds are limited by your Reading settings.
Why is my button text underlined?
Links are underlined by default. Set Underline to None in the Style tab for buttons.
Term feed link plugin questions
Does it create a feed?
No. WordPress already provides a feed for every category and tag; the widget links to it.
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor; Elementor Pro lets you place it in archive templates.
Does it work with custom taxonomies?
Yes, for public taxonomies whose terms have feeds.
Is it accessible?
Yes. Hidden text names the term's feed, so a link reading 'Subscribe' still makes sense to screen reader users.
Can it count subscribers?
No. It is a plain link to the feed.
