How to locate editable code to change from RSS2 to RSS

Open header.php and look for:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />

Replace with:

<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92" href="<?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>" />

Hi Esmi, thanks but it’s not in the header. I changed the feed in Sidebar.php but that didn’t help. Have now added

<link rel=”alternate” type=”text/xml” title=”RSS” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss_url’); ?>” />

to the header. But when I view source in firefox it still shows:

<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” href=”https://www.chamonixmountainguides.com/cmgblog/?feed=rss2&#8243; title=”CMGBlog Posts RSS feed” />

<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” href=”https://www.chamonixmountainguides.com/cmgblog/?feed=comments-rss2&#8243; title=”CMGBlog Comments RSS feed” />

I don’t know where to change it.

Any further advice appreciated.

In header.php, delete:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> Posts RSS feed" />

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>2" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> Comments RSS feed" />

Thanks Esmi, but, as mentioned before

<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?>” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> Posts RSS feed” />

<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?>2″ title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> Comments RSS feed” />

doesn’t exist in header.php so I can’t remove it.

The problem is locating it.

You need to edit the file /thematic/library/extensions/hooks-filters.php

The function thematic_show_rss() is creating the RSS links.

// rss usage is switchable using a filter
function thematic_show_rss() {
    $display = TRUE;
    apply_filters('thematic_show_rss', §display);
    if (§display) {
        $content = "\t";
        $content .= "<link rel=\"alternate\" type=\"application/rss+xml\" href=\"";
        $content .= get_bloginfo('rss2_url');
        $content .= "\" title=\"";
        $content .= wp_specialchars(get_bloginfo('name'), 1);
        $content .= " " . __('Posts RSS feed', 'thematic');
        $content .= "\" />";
        $content .= "\n";
        echo $content;
    }
}

Thanks drmanry,
I changed the rss feed to rss from rss2 in the links above at /thematic/library/extensions/hooks-filters.php. Unfortunately the feed is still not working and the error message when I try to subscribe through Microsoft Outlook says problem connecting to the server feed=rss2.

Any suggestions?

Okay, I see a call to rss2 in /thematic/library/extensions/widgets.php

// Widget: Thematic RSS links
 function widget_thematic_rsslinks($args) {
 extract($args);
 $options = get_option('widget_thematic_rsslinks');
 $title = empty($options['title']) ? __('RSS Links', 'thematic') : $options['title'];
 ?>
 <?php echo $before_widget; ?>
 <?php echo $before_title . $title . $after_title; ?>
 <ul>
 <li><a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url') ?>" title="<?php echo wp_specialchars(get_bloginfo('name'), 1) ?> <?php _e('Posts RSS feed', 'thematic'); ?>" rel="alternate nofollow" type="application/rss+xml"><?php _e('All posts', 'thematic') ?></a></li>
 <li><a href="<?php bloginfo('comments_rss2_url') ?>" title="<?php echo wp_specialchars(bloginfo('name'), 1) ?> <?php _e('Comments RSS feed', 'thematic'); ?>" rel="alternate nofollow" type="application/rss+xml"><?php _e('All comments', 'thematic') ?></a></li>
 </ul>
 <?php echo $after_widget; ?>
 <?php
 }

I’m not sure why they hardcoded rss2, but you can try changing those to rss.
