   Hello and help please - Direct feed access not working.

   Just upgraded to WP ver 2.5.1 running the Andreas01 theme.

   http://conciergeguide.com/news/feed = Working
   http://conciergeguide.com/news/wp-rss2.php = Not Working
   http://conciergeguide.com/news/wp-rss.php = Not Working

   I have deactivated all plugins and moved to the default theme – same issue.

   I have read the other similar issues, but nothing exactly the same. If there is already a fix posted I did not find it / search correctly.

   Thanks in advance.

   DEL

   It's not an error, it's a security feature...

   Really, not sure, I have seen the same thing. Very annoying to have certain things work and then just disappear without comment.

   Yea - it is very annoying. I tracked it down:

   Change the rewrite.php and version.php files in your wp-includes folder. The changes are noted here - http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7843

   You must log-in to your blog and it will prompt you to update your database.

   This will fix it. Of course the changeset file has no notation the you must log-in to your blog to trigger the update so I wasted a few hours when I would have had it fixed it 5 minutes.

   It will be fixed in 2.5.2.

   But realistically, you should no longer be using direct links like /wp-rss2.php and such. These are deprecated in favor of the /feed type links, or the ?feed=rss2 links if you use default permalinks.

   Hey Otto - thanks for the info. If I want to parse a feed into another page, what is the best format to use, or does it matter?
