RSS Chimp allows you to enhance your RSS feed with channel metadata such as copyright, managing editor, and webmaster information. These values give your feed more context and help readers and services understand who owns, edits, or manages the content. These tags follow the RSS 2.0 specification.
How to change the channel information?
- Go to RSS Chimp → Settings → General → Options
- You’ll find three optional fields you can fill in. Only the fields you actually fill in will be included in your RSS feed.

Available Fields

Copyright

Use this to declare ownership, licensing notes, or copyright statements.
Managing Editor

This is typically the editorial or content contact person. You may include name, email, or both.
Webmaster

This is usually the technical contact responsible for maintaining the website or feed.
Troubleshooting
Text fields not showing
- Make sure you saved the page after entering text
- Confirm that your feed reader is showing the raw feed (some tools hide metadata)
- View the raw feed URL (e.g.,
https://example.com/feed) to check the XML directly
Special characters look wrong
RSS expects plain text. Avoid emoji or unusual symbols, as some feed readers may not display them correctly.
