Life after Feedburner and their email subscription

I've been using Feedburner for years. Their email subscription feature allowed me to let my subscribers receive an email letting then know when a new post was published. That feature was shut off on July 1st, 2021,and I'm trying to find a substitute for that. My VPS can send emails, but all of them are detected as spam. I've tried to fix that by adding SPF, DKIM (setting up OpenDkim) and DMARC on my domain, but I've probably made some …

remove enclosure url from feed

I searched the whole internet, including this website, but there is no written way on how to remove the enclosure url from the WordPress feed. I want to remove it because FeedBurner is adding the image url directly in the email that it is sending to subscribers. The reason doesn't really matter I guess, so simply how to remove enclosure url from the feed? <enclosure url="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/whatever-image.jpg" length="5873907" type="image/jpeg"/> the feed also has this line, which I also want to remove: …

HTTPS for every page except for feeds

Our site has a persistent login form on every page of the site, so of course we need to keep every page served over SSL. However, we've since discovered that Feedburner doesn't like secure feeds.

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/(feed|robots\.txt|favicon.ico) [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://nplusonemag.com/$1 [R=301,L] # Force non-SSL for …

How to update feed only 2-3 times a week (for Feedburner email)?

I am successfully scheduling posts and having them publish - no "missed schedule" problems - but when a scheduled post is published, WordPress does not ping Feedburner, and my feed is not updated. I can manually go into Feedburner and update the feed, but that's a pain (well, it's easy, but I forget to do it! that's the whole point of scheduling posts! …
