 Thanks for **Example B**, it works in WP 5.3.2

 Example A instead, doesn't work and the line:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 header( 'Content-Type: ' . feed_content_type( 'rss2' ) . '; charset=' .
 get_option( 'blog_charset' ), true );
 }}}

 in the file **\wordpress\wp-includes\feed-rss2.php** is misleading and has
 no effects, I suppose in either the standard /feed/ or any other custom
 /feed/custom/ one creates taking and including that file as a starting
 template (as I usually do).
