RSS tutuorial code improvement

[Kevin]

The tutorial to add events to RSS feeds (https://theeventscalendar.com/how-to-add-events-to-your-rss-feed/) could use one improvement. Posting to the forum because comments on that page are closed.

As written, the code to add event date to your RSS feed will add a start date to event posts (as desired), but also adds a start date to regular posts, which makes no sense. Clearly tribe_get_start_date() returns now when it is not an event post.

I suggest you modify the tutorial and encapsulate the with the conditional “if (tribe_is_event())”. That should remove the nonsensical event dates on regular posts

That’s a great suggestion Kevin – we’ll log that as something in need of further attention 🙂

Apologies for the delay, Kevin – this was sitting fairly far down on the to-do list but we did finally get around to updating it. Thanks again for the suggestion!
