Disable comments feed, but not the others

I'd like to customize my WordPress blog in such a way that it is no more possible to access the comments feed.

Other feeds should still be available, and it should still be possible to add comments to any article.

I tried to find a plugin to do this, but what I found is a all or nothing feature, without the possibility to finely adjust which feeds are allowed and which are not.

• Just want to add a reasoning for this: Having them enabled means that scrapers like Google/Bing/Yandex/etc. are constantly querying for both every article on my site (hundreds of thousands) AND their /feed/ URLs. This is a huge burden on the server and a huge waste of resources to serve these files which are almost ever relevant and unlikely to be used meaningfully but readers (who can subscribe by email if they want to). – jerclarke Commented Mar 5, 2020 at 16:45

function remove_comment_feeds( $for_comments ){
    if( $for_comments ){
        remove_action( 'do_feed_rss2', 'do_feed_rss2', 10, 1 );
        remove_action( 'do_feed_atom', 'do_feed_atom', 10, 1 );
    }
}
add_action( 'do_feed_rss2', 'remove_comment_feeds', 9, 1 );
add_action( 'do_feed_atom', 'remove_comment_feeds', 9, 1 );

As mentioned by @glueckpress, Since 4.4 you can use the feed_links_show_comments_feed filter.

Example (in your theme functions.php file) :

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'head_cleanup' );

function head_cleanup(){

    // Add default posts and comments RSS feed links to head.
    add_theme_support( 'automatic-feed-links' );

    // disable comments feed
    add_filter( 'feed_links_show_comments_feed', '__return_false' ); 

}

@Shazzad’s approach seems to not work when current_theme_supports( 'automatic-feed-links' ), because up to 4.3 WordPress seems to be pretty ego about feed links. You would have to remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links', 2 ) hard and add your own function printing only the link for post feeds.

However, from 4.4 this seems to get easier with a brand-new filter: feed_links_show_posts_feed.

I wanted to remove the comments feed and posts comments feed. As of Wordpress 5.4.2, this worked for me.

Add this into your "after_setup_theme" action.

add_theme_support('automatic-feed-links');

Add this right after that line:

add_filter( 'feed_links_show_comments_feed', '__return_false' );

After your "after_setup_theme action, add this function and filter ( I pulled this function from https://jeffvautin/2016/03/removing-comments-rss-feeds-from-wordpress/ blog.) It will removed the posts comments feed.

/**
 * Remove the posts comments rss feed 
 */
function disablePostCommentsFeedLink($for_comments) {
  return;
}
add_filter('post_comments_feed_link','disablePostCommentsFeedLink');

I also add this to remove those non-essential feeds

/**
 * remove non-essential rss feeds
 * 
 * This removes feeds like tags, authors, search, post type
 */
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links_extra', 3 );

I believe this will just give me the main feed. I'm not sure if this is the best way of going about this, but seems to do the trick.
