## Description

Private Feed Key adds a 32bit (or 40bit) key for each of your users, creating a 
unique feed url for every registered user on the site. This allows you to restrict
access to your feeds, to registered users only. The plugin will also work with plugins
that filter access to posts to certain user levels, only allowing the user to see
that content .

## Installation

 1. Install Private Feed Key either via the WordPress.org plugin directory, or by uploading
    the files to your server.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. In your _WordPress Administration Area_, go to the _Plugins_ page and click _Activate_
    for _Feed Key_

Once you have _Private Feed Key_ installed and activated your feeds will only be
accessable when using a valid _Feed Key_.

## FAQ

_What are Feed Keys?_

_Feed Keys_, are unique 32bit (or 40bit) keys that are added to your blog’s URL 
in order to give every registered user a custom feed URL.
 A Feed Key looks something
like this: _`206914af21373cc4792a057b067d2448`_

This is then appended to the feed url for your user in their User Profile, like 
the examples below, either without permalinks…

_`http://example.com/?feed=rss2&feedkey=206914af21373cc4792a057b067d2448`_

…or with permalinks

_`http://example.com/feed/?feedkey=206914af21373cc4792a057b067d2448`_
