How to Remove RXX From WordPress
Remove links to your RSS feed from your WordPress theme if you use WordPress to operate a static website, rather than a blog you update frequently. WordPress themes have links to RSS feeds embedded in their header files by default, which causes a feed button to load into the web browser. Feed buttons are of no benefit to website visitors if you don't regularly make additions to the site.

Click the "header.php" file from the list of theme files. Scroll through the header document until you reach the following text:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0″ href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92″ href="<?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 0.3″ href="<?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>" />
Depending on which theme your site uses, one of more of these links may be absent.

Highlight the text and delete it. Save the header.php file and load your website in the browser. Notice that RSS feed links no longer appear within the browser.

Tips & Warnings
RSS links are theme-specific. If you change your site's theme at any point, manually remove the RSS links in the new theme's header.php file to prevent the links from reappearing.
