The custom rss doesn't work

Developer help

I want to create a podcast rss, and I did as this url shows: How to make a podcast RSS feed in Ghost

In routes.yaml

routes:

/podcast/rss/:
  template: podcast/rss
  content_type: text/xml

collections:
  /:
    permalink: /{slug}/
    template: index
    filter: tag:-podcast
  /podcast/:
    permalink: /podcast/{slug}/
    filter: tag:podcast

taxonomies:
  tag: /tag/{slug}/
  author: /author/{slug}/

and I created a folder called podcast, and there’s a file called rss.hbs with content

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"

    </item>
    {{/foreach}}
{{/get}}

</channel>
</rss>

but the url domain.com/podcast/rss still shows the rss content without the rss template? How can I fix this?

Hi there :wave:. I think it might be how you’ve named the template, you’ve set the value to podcast/rss so you’ll need to put the rss.hbs template into a podcast folder within your theme. Either that or change the value to just rss :slightly_smiling_face:

@DavidDarnes Of course, I put the rss.hbs template into a podcast folder within my theme, and I also tried the way of changing the value to just rss, none of them works.

BTW. there’s a typo in your reply, postcast should be podcast, right?

Fixed :slight_smile:

I saw Can't custom rss · Issue #11251 · TryGhost/Ghost · GitHub
Nice one, but those types of questions are best asked here so others can benefit :slightly_smiling_face:

Yea I made a typo with podcast, fixed it. Thanks!

@DavidDarnes
Hey ! I have the same issue . I followed this documentation

But when i access this url domain.com/news/rss/ this is what it tells me …

Missing template template:news/rss content_type:text/xml.hbs for route "/news/rss/".

I tried renaming my file , even formatting routes.yaml . But nothing works .Am i missing something ?
