## Code

```php
// Old feed addresses (from Blogger, Ghost, Jekyll, Squarespace ...) that should lead to your WordPress feed.
$wpide_old_feed_paths = array( '/rss.xml', '/feed.xml', '/atom.xml', '/index.xml', '/index.rdf', '/rss', '/feeds/posts/default' );

add_action( 'template_redirect', function () use ( $wpide_old_feed_paths ) {
    if ( ! is_404() ) {
        return;
    }

    $path = isset( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) ? (string) wp_parse_url( wp_unslash( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ), PHP_URL_PATH ) : '';
    $base = (string) wp_parse_url( home_url( '/' ), PHP_URL_PATH );

    if ( '' === $path ) {
        return;
    }

    // Path relative to the site, so subdirectory installs work too.
    $relative = '/' . ltrim( substr( $path, strlen( untrailingslashit( $base ) ) ), '/' );
    $relative = strtolower( untrailingslashit( $relative ) );

    foreach ( $wpide_old_feed_paths as $old ) {
        if ( strtolower( untrailingslashit( $old ) ) === $relative ) {
            wp_safe_redirect( get_feed_link(), 301 );
            exit;
        }
    }
} );
```

## Notes

Only addresses that would otherwise be a 404 are redirected; add any other old feed paths to the list.
