do_feed()

Load the feed template from the use of an action hook.

Description

If the feed action does not have a hook, then the function will die with a message telling the visitor that the feed is not valid.

It is better to only have one hook for each feed.

File: wp-includes/functions.php

function do_feed() {
	global $wp_query;

	$feed = get_query_var( 'feed' );

	// Remove the pad, if present.
	$feed = preg_replace( '/^_+/', '', $feed );

	if ( '' === $feed || 'feed' === $feed ) {
		$feed = get_default_feed();
	}

	if ( ! has_action( "do_feed_{$feed}" ) ) {
		wp_die( __( 'Error: This is not a valid feed template.' ), '', array( 'response' => 404 ) );
	}

	/**
	 * Fires once the given feed is loaded.

	 * @since 2.1.0
	 * @since 4.4.0 The `$feed` parameter was added.
