## Description

In the last versions of WordPress the feed can be generated as application/rss+xml,
application/rss+xml, text/xml, application/atom+xml’ or application/rdf+xml

Some of these content-types are not recognized by old feed readers or some JAVA 
feed managers (as Jsoup) generating a validation exception.

This plugin overwrite the content-type by ‘text/xml’ used in the past.

## Installation

 1. Upload `force-feed-contenttype` folder to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
