Address bar RSS icon links to wrong URL

  • Hi everyone. I have a problem of which I have no clue how it originated and how I could solve it. I hope someone can help me!

    Yesterday, I moved my blog from WordPress.com to ‘my own’ webhost. All went well, and I was able to import the contents of my blog perfectly. I choose to use another theme (called SimpleType).

    Now I have the following problem. The theme I used came with a built-in RSS-feed link (https://www.consumelessforayear.com/?feed=rss2). I used the URL of this link in FeedBurner as well, because I used FeedBurner before and I did not want to ask my subscribers to change RSS feeds). But clicking the RSS-icon which appears in the address bar links to another URL (https://www.consumelessforayear.com/feed/, which is apparently not a working feed, according to FeedBurner). I would like the address bar RSS-icon to refer to the RSS-feed that is used in the theme and that I use in FeedBurner. Is there any way I could fix this?

    Thanks so much!

    Cheers, Karin

  • In header.php within the <head> </head> section look for this line: <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="/feed/" />

    Change it from that, to this: <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="https://www.consumelessforayear.com/?feed=rss2" />

    Hope it helps. ??
