The thing to make wp pages show up in the newsfeed.

  This option is not built-in by default. wp-pages and custom post types can be added in code.

  do with plugins?
  (too simple, don't need plugin. but maybe useful for code.)

  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
  code:

  functions/newsfeed_handling.php

// Add Pages to RSS Feeds
// (he modified this from the below CPT code at the wpbeginner page.)
// works - 22 jun 2018 kowthamcenter.org
// using on several sites now - may 2020
function myfeed_request( $qv ) {
    if ( isset( $qv['feed'] ) && ! isset( $qv['post_type'] ) )
        $qv['post_type'] = array( 'post', 'page' );
    return $qv;
}


// Add Custom Post Types to RSS Feeds
// one type:
function myfeed_request($qv) {
    if (isset($qv['feed']))
        $qv['post_type'] = get_post_types();
    return $qv;
}
add_filter('request', 'myfeed_request');

// multiple types:
function myfeed_request($qv) {
    if (isset($qv['feed']) && !isset($qv['post_type']))
        $qv['post_type'] = array('post', 'story', 'books', 'movies');
    return $qv;
}
add_filter('request', 'myfeed_request');

delay display in feed for 5 min, gives time to correct errors:

Re-display a wp-page when it has been updated

  Searching for a way to do this -- nothing found. 
  Maybe this is not possible.
