The red bar in the Producer theme has two links on the left side. The links are “Get news via RSS” and “Follow comments via RSS”. These are just links to your WordPress RSS feeds. There is nothing you need to do to set them up to work, but you do have some options in the theme options page that relate to these.

| Clear RSS comments link |
If you prefer to clear the RSS news link altogether select hide to conceal Follow comments via RSS. You might prefer to have the space where “Follow comments via RSS” is placed left empty. If that is the case then set Clear RSS comments link to hide |
| Insert Item after RSS comments link | Do you need to insert a link or other item in the RSS block? Enter the code to render the content. Be mindful that you need to enter code for an item than can fit properly into the space. If you need to make room and you do not need the links get news via rss or follow comments via rss then you can clear those links to free space for your new content. Content will remain aligned to the left of the search box
This option is for if you want a third link next to “Follow comments via RSS” or if you want to use the space for some other content. For example if you have cleared the news link and the rss link you’ll then have a bit of empty space. If you wanted to put something else in that empty space then you would enter the HTML content code into the box. As a general rule don’t try to insert content into the space that is too wide or too high to accommodate the space without messing up your design. |
| Clear custom RSS link |
The custom RSS link is the link you insert using the box directly above. If you need to remove but don’t want to clear out the code then use this option to hide it Let’s say you added a custom link using Insert Item after RSS comments link and then later you change your mind about the link. You could just remove the code you inserted into Insert Item after RSS comments link; but if you’re not sure if you might change your mind again and want to restore the link, then instead of removing the code, just set “Clear custom RSS link” to hide |
1. If you prefer not to have the red bar altogether, then you should set Activate RSS Search Bar Row to “deactivate”. If you set it to deactivate then you don’t need to worry about any of the other settings
