  • I created a rss feed but when I click on the “Entries RSS” link to that page at the bottom of my WordPress homepage I get a

    feed is not a registered protocol

    https://feedvalidator.org/returns this reply to my validation test:

    This feed is valid, but may cause problems for some users. We recommend fixing these problems. Feeds should not be served with the “text/html” media type

    Im not sure what is text/html media type and how to replace it.

  • It’s not a problem with the file. Go into the appropriate template file (probably footer.php or sidebar.php), find the links to the feeds and remove the feed: that they’re prefixed with.

    Many thanks, that was it.
    Do you know how to create a commentsrss2.php? What does such a page look like?

    I removed the code from my sidebar.php file and all I get now is a page not found error. I tried in IE and Mozilla with no results. Anyone?

    Molly, you’ve run into a bug that appeared with rss in 1.5 on IIS servers. I’d suggest installing the most recent version of WordPress (1.5.1.2).

    EDIT: Forgot to note there is a workaround to the problem (though upgrading is best, since it hits a lot more than this issue):

    Avenir’s answer from above [remove “feed:” from “href=”feed:<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’)” fixed my RSS problem too.

    This is a bug in the current 8/15/06 “Kubrick theme” default theme.

    It is not a “bug”. It’s a new protocol not recognized yet by every software (browser etc.). Google and read…
