How do you add an additional post feed to your site? for example: a feed for blog posts and a feed for video posts?

I want my site to be able to have more than one post feed. Where posts are added in reverse chronological order with the newest added to the top but i want separate feeds for blog posts and video posts. how would i go about building this?

Hey Andy,

You can create custom loops with the WP_Query() Class. So for example you can use your normal loop for your blog posts and a custom loop for your video custom post types.

For more information you can take a look at the following link: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
