RSS Troubles After Upgrade and New Blog Layout

Your feed should be here, thedividendguyblog.com/feed. If you turn off feedburner is your feed there?

Sorry, I don’t use feedburner but is seems strange to me that your normal feed address (above) would not be available to people who want your feed without feedburner.

I know it is very strange – when I try to use the address in your post it returns an error page: (404) Feed not found error: FeedBurner cannot locate this feed URI.

It is driving me nuts!

From the FeedBurner site . . .
The plugin is currently compatible with downloadable WordPress versions 1.5 through 2.5. (Please note that “tag” feeds in later WordPress versions are not supported.)

Deactivate the plugin and see if the normal WP feed works. That will confirm if it is a FeedBurner problem.

Do you mean Feedburner Smith plugin?

I checked it on https://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fthedividendguyblog.com%2Ffeed (which is what feedburner uses to get that info) and it’s a 404.

How are you using feedburner? Via a plugin or a straight .htaccess hack?

Do you mean Feedburner Smith plugin?

Yes.

Normally, if you have a problem with a particular function, you want to deactivate the plugin that may effect it and see if that helps.

Kmessinger: I deactivated Smith and still I have the problem.

Ipstenu: I am note sure that you mean – I have never done a .htaccess hack before so I guess I am just using it straight. I was using Feedburner Smith, but just deactivated it to see if that would fix the problem. Any thoughts on what I should do?

Is it still deactivated? Because I’m getting redirected to feedburner still.

Check to make sure your wp-rss files were all uploaded when you upgraded. If you used the core upgrade plugin, it’s been known to miss files.

I still had redirection on. I actually removed both it and Feedburner Smith from the site to see if that would help. Still no luck.

There are two wp-rss files in the directory (wp-rss and wp-rss2). Both have the date of 14/10/2008 which does not make a lot of sense. Do you think that might be the issue – can I edit those or grab them from a fresh install and upload them in?

Mine are dated Dec 17 so yeah. I’d copy up all the core wordpress files again, just to be safe.

You are still being redirected to FB

Ipstenu – I will see what I can do.. I use cpanel to manage it but I will see if I can get a more recent version.

Is there anything in the code that would cause a redirection?

I did have an old feed that I upgraded from some time ago. Is it possible to delete the htaccess and wordpress will recreate it?

For more info – here is my htaccess – anything in here??

Yes, LOTS of feedburner and feed rewrite stuff. Try removing it.

I removed all the references and at least I was able to burn a new feed. I still cannot get to the old feed, but I will create a redirect that should help with the old subscribers.

Thanks everyone for your help!!!
