RSS not updating – Please help!

I’m having this strange problem for months now. I’ve spend many hours googling and trying to fix it but didn’t succeed yet. The post here is my last hope really, so I hope someone could help me out and finally get the RSS feed working again.

I think the RSS stopped working when I changed servers. I uploaded the site to another server and I think that created the error.

I tried so many things, I’ll make a list:

• Downloaded fresh WordPress zip, took all files with “rss” in it and uploaded those to my server, overwriting the old ones. Didn’t work.

  The sitemap was outdated as well, at the exact same date as the RSS. I thought yay I found the problem – deleted the sitemap, then re-installed it – new sitemap works now – RSS still doesn’t work.

  I’ve read many things (while googling) about the htaccess file but I’m not really a coding and/or php expert so I didn’t know what to do with it really.

  I tried installing several plugins that create RSS feeds, rss buttons, feedburners etc. None got the RSS going again. uninstalled those later. Still no RSS.

  Uploaded the site to the old server again to check if the rss worked – well, it didn’t….

To make a long story short: I think something is terribly wrong in the core files that are responsible for the RSS feed. I’m not a coder really, I’m not experienced with adding lines of PHP to the theme etc so I hope somebody can help me in the right direction.

I hope there is a way to “reset” the complete RSS feed back to normal. Any help would be extremely greatly appreciated because this problem kept me busy for about 20+ hours now and I’m becoming desperate of fixing this ??

Please help!
