Can’t get RSS feed to work

i just visited your link and there was a feed. I know that when I installed and tested this a couple days ago, I had a 404 error initially and only just tested my feed link now and it works fine. I’m not sure when a feed is generated, whether there is a delay in it that slows things?

But your feed should work now.

Geoffe:

I appreciate your reply, but I continued to experience the same problems today, although certain feedreaders seemed to pick it up. Most feedreaders I downloaded and tried to subscribe to my feed with indicated there was no feed found at the URL address, and directly clicking on the RSS button on my blog received an “application not found” reply.

In working on it however, I noted that using the code as written in your help documentation for placing the RSS button/feed in the sidebar results in a literal feed URL that has “feed:” in front of the standard “http:” start for the address. Just on a whim I removed the starting “feed:” (surprised I was able to do that), and then I was able to find the feed through these feedreaders and also make a connection by clicking the RSS button on the blog.

I guess my questions now are would this change only improve connections to those free feedreaders I downloaded, and would putting that beginning “feed:” back into the URL address still result in better overall connections/performance based on everything that is out there right now as a whole? Thanks again for your time.

i have a problem. i want to set up a rss for my web site and i have no clue. i have been reading stuff all morning and still have no clue as to what to do. someone please run me through this step by step

kostuj, the URL https://www.waggleweight.com/blog/feed provides your feed. It’s formatted as RSS 2.0, but most feedreaders should pick that up themselves and be able to use it.

nakedwheeler, the wordpress engine has the programming that is already producing an RSS feed of your blog content. If perhaps you mean you want to include RSS feed information from other sites onto your site, you can try this plugin: https://www.ozpolitics.info/blog/?p=87

I am in a similar situation. My blog is all setup and I am attemping to add my site’s feed to my Gmail Web Clips. anyone know how to do this? also, i cannot figure out how else i can see or get my feed. Please help!!!

jhkessel,
put a direct link in your post or in your profile – because I hate if I have to click 4 times to get to your blog…

Your feed is there: https://www.jhkessel.com/blog/feed/
if you click on the RSS link in your sidebar.
You may also want to remove the “feed” from the front of it (as described above).

Your other question about Gmail stuff… is NOT a WP question.

thanks so much, you guys are great! it was as simple as removing the /feed/ and now it shows in Gmail web clips!

My issue is still related to RSS but getting another issue. My RSS feed @ https://www.thedigity.com/?feed=rss2 is giving me the ‘Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:\Inetpub\vhosts\thedigity.com\httpdocs\Index.php:3) in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\thedigity.com\httpdocs\words\wp-rss2.php on line 8’ error but I have no idea how to fix it.

Looked through support and it seems issue is related to the 1st mentioned file (index.php) but can’t figure out how to fix it. I did add a define line in my wp-config.php file earlier today to disable caching, would that affect it? I removed it anyway and it hasn’t made a difference.

Also, it seems as if my RSS feed is working b/c I just produced a podcast and posted it and my podcatcher client caught it. Weird, any ideas?

Update:

I deleted all files and reuploaded all wordpress related files…no change. Using a feed validator I get this too, maybe this will help.

Sorry

This feed does not validate.

I have a feed problem on https://www.petiteanglaise.com. I moved to a new server at the weekend, simply copying across by ftp my wordpress installation and the database, and I now notice that bloglines is not picking up my last post, and returns an error message as follows:

Home > My Feeds > Feed Error Help

Bloglines has encountered an error trying to fetch the latest version of this feed. Bloglines handles errors automatically, no action is required by you. The error was:

The feed does not appear to exist. This can be caused by the feed URL being incorrect, or it can be caused by a configuration issue with the server hosting the feed. If this error continues, you should check the feed URL and, if it is wrong, subscribe to the correct URL.

I have re-uploaded the wp-feed.php file and also changed the CHMOD on all the feed files. Can anyone see what is wrong here?

Thanks!

Similar problem. I can’t see my feed at powellnetworks.com/blog/feed I can see it at powellnetworks.com/blog/wp-rss2.php
