[resolved] Updating permalinks, then RSS not working (7 posts)

    I have a couple blogs on the same server:

    1 http://www.ambcompte.net
    2 http://www.ambcompte.net/cuina

    Different wordpress installs. On the first one I had a permalinks structure (category/post-name). On the second one I had the default option. Recently I updated the permalinks structure to follow the first one. I added aredirection plugin http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/ for a redirection from the old url's to the new ones.

    Everything seemed to work fine, but the RSS is not working and I cannot find why.

    RSS should be http://www.ambcompte.net/cuina/?feed=rss2 but now there's a "404 - page not found" error

    I also have the feedburner plugin installed, but used to work fine with that, so I think it should not be the problem. But the feedburner address http://feeds.feedburner.com/cuinaambcompte looks ok, but it does not have the last post, which I did after redoing my permalinks structure.

    Is there anyone who can help me?

    Thanks a lot!

    Hi

    According to your site header, your feed URL is now
    http://www.ambcompte.net/cuina/feed/

    I was able to subscribe to your site in Google reader by using the URL.

    You will have to go to Feedburner's site and update the feed URL associated with your Feedburner URL.

    If all that works, and the old feed URL still brings up 404, you should be able to set up a redirect in the WP htaccess file to redirect the old feed URL to the new feed URL. You can likely do that in the redirection plugin also.

    Thank you!

    I'll try to do that later on. I see that I can subscribe on http://www.ambcompte.net/cuina/feed/ but then I get a lists of posts from the other blog.

    First I'll try to change the prefix from the database (both blogs have wp_) and see if that solves anything...

    Finally fixed it.

    The problem was that I had the same $table_prefix for both blogs. I changed that for the new one (it was not that easy getting into mysql for a non-it expert like me. I had to put old content into new tables) and now RSS is back and everything seems to be working well.

    No, did not work. I uploaded in the wrong place so the other blog was not working. So I'm still in the same place.

    I checked that putting back the permalinks as default solves the problem. But I would like to keep the permalinks in the /%category%/%postname%/ structure.

    For now, I'll keep using default permalinks til I found a solution...

    I fixed the different prefixes por database in wp-config.

    But still does not work, so the only reason should be the udpate of permalinks. I think I quit, too much time spend on this :(

    Closing this tread.

    I finally fixed that looking at my .htacces file and leaving only the essential (keeping a backup for if it was not woorking)
