Testing the WordPress Plugin to add copyright to the RSS FEED
Blog, PHP, Technology December 4th, 2007A very talented friend of mine Stephen Cronin at More Than Scratch The Surface just recently release a new WordPress Plugin, which allows you to add copyright to your RSS FEED header. It will display a custom copyright information to only the RSS FEED. So the splug program will have less chance to scrap your content and took your hard work. The plugin is called FeedEntryHeader. This post it to test it and see if it does what it says.
This plug use a simple tags to add different information about your blog. You can actually use this feature to add more notes about your feed. It’s a nice plugin. I will update this post if there is anything worth to mention here!
It looks like that Stephen’s plugin is conflict with Angsuman’s Feed Copyrighter and Full Text Feed.
After looking into the code of the above three plugins, I think this issues can be resolved by change the add_filter priority in the FeedEntryHeader plugin to 1 from -1. Currently, the Full Text Feed is using -1 as priority.

Hi Terence,
Thanks for writing the plugin up and for catching the conflict with the Full Text Feed plugin.
The problem is fixed and the new version is up on the plugin’s home page.
The problem was that Full Text Feed creates the content again from the database, losing whatever has been added to $content (in this case the copyright message). I fixed this by removing the priority -1 (as you suggested). Full Text Feed will now fire before FeedEntryHeader, which can then add the copyright message after Full Text Feed has done it’s thing.
Thanks for your help.

@Stephen:
Your plugin works great. I will start posting some topic that I know will be splugged and see how it turns out. Thank you for the creative works!
