User Rating

12/15

A 78 out of 100 from 17 ratings is a decent but not stellar signal; the small sample size limits how much weight this carries.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads posted and zero resolved is unusual, though it can mean the plugin simply works without complications or that users go elsewhere for help.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Tested against WordPress 7.0 with a minimum of 5.0 and a broad compatibility profile, which is why this dimension scores perfectly.

What It Does

RSS Includes Pages modifies your WordPress site's default RSS feed so that static pages appear alongside blog posts in the feed output. It hooks into WordPress feed query logic and pulls in 'page' post types where normally only 'post' entries would appear. This means RSS subscribers and feed readers can consume content from your static pages without any extra steps from you.

Who It's For

This plugin fits sites where static pages carry the primary content, such as documentation portals, knowledge bases, agency portfolios, corporate sites with periodic updates, or publishing platforms that mix evergreen pages with blog posts. It is also useful for educational institutions and professional services firms that want their evergreen material surfaced through RSS subscriptions. If your audience relies on feed readers for updates and your important content lives on pages rather than posts, this solves a real gap.

Who Should Skip It

If your site is content-driven through standard posts and your pages are static utility pages (about, contact, legal), do not bother installing this. Users running multilingual sites with separate feeds per language, or those needing advanced feed customization, should look at a more configurable alternative.

The Bottom Line

RSS Includes Pages is a focused, narrow utility that does exactly one job and does it well enough that 10,000 sites rely on it. With strong maintenance and compatibility scores, it is a safe pick for anyone whose key content lives on static pages and needs that content reachable through RSS. Anyone outside that specific use case will probably get more mileage from a wider feature set in one of the alternatives.
