RSS Categories Feeds…just not happening –

hmm…the feed at https://amandlanet.net/amandlablog/?cat=1&feed=rss2 is loading fine for me.

Yes, but it loads as a blog page, right? not an rss page, as does

https://amandlanet.net/amandlablog/?feed=rss2 –

with strait text/images in the rss page form, not the blog page form with the header, admin bar, etc which is why flash isn’t parsing it correctly to be viewed I think.

Shouldn’t it load as does the main rss page?

thanks –

That url loads like any normal feed file for me too.

Dangnabbit – Could you tell me what exactly you’re seeing? Because for me, https://amandlanet.net/amandlablog/?cat=1&feed=rss2 loads like a blog-formatted page as I mentioned, with header, background color, sidebar etc. The main feed url https://amandlanet.net/amandlablog/?feed=rss2 loads as I would expect an rss feed.

So are you saying both those urls loads identically as rss feed pages?

https://amandlanet.net/amandlablog/?feed=rss2 – and – https://amandlanet.net/amandlablog/?cat=1&feed=rss2?

Am I losing my mind? Don’t answer that – but is there something I’m overlooking? A browser or WordPress setting?

Solved –

As I guessed, it was the syntax. The WordPress codex page is wrong – well not entirely, but it’s not correct.

https://amandlanet.net/amandlablog/?cat=1&feed=rss2

is the url for the category feed, not

https://amandlanet.net/amandlablog/?cat=1&feed=rss2

which of course is the same thing, but what’s supposed to be the html entity subsitute. Which for some reason for me, did not work, until I used the real ‘&’ as opposed the ‘&’. I’m using Explorer 8.

Hope this helps someone in the future, this was really agravating –

You could also use a different permalink structure (wp-admin/options-permalink.php) and just add /feed to any page.
