Try editing your post here and wrapping the code in backticks (as mentioned below the text editor) so that we can see the actual code?
Or post the relevant code over at wordpress.pastebin.ca and post a link back here.
Your theme is definitely doing something bad to the RSS link.
<a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>">RSS</a>
<a href="<?php bloginfo('comments_rss2_url'); ?>">RSS Comments</a>
The funny thing is that I’ve now tried 4 completely different themes including the 2 that come with WP.
I have even tried to delete and install WP several times.
Well, that code is just fine.
If you visit Options -> General, what do you have for the two URI values?
I have:
http://profectio.com/castcon for both
That theme seems to be looking for a plugin of some sort (asides?) that sure isn’t displaying anything. And, is generating truly goofy code:
</div>
<div class="sb-asides"><h2></h2>
<span class="metalink"><a href="http://profectio.com/castcon/?feed=rss&cat=-----" title="RSS Feed for Asides" class="feedlink"><img src="http://profectio.com/castcon/wp-content/themes/TriK2/images/feed.png" alt="RSS" /></a></span>
<div></div>
</div>
Look what happens to your RSS link…
Either you’re missing the plugin it expects or you haven’t activated it yet? If you switch to the “Default” theme does the feed link get corrected?
Just switched to the default and the same problem is happening…RSS won’t work; Comments works
RSS works now — http://profectio.com/castcon/feed/
You just need to clear your local browser cache (or hit ctrl-F5). Of course, if you’re clicking that link with IE, it’ll choke on “feed:” protocol… but that’s not your core issue.
My previous post mentioned what appears to be a plugin issue with that theme.
I don’t know how you’re getting the RSS feed to work – I’m on a MAC and have cleared the cache and tried 2 different browsers and still can’t get it to work.
Well, I’m using a feed reader. What are you using? What are you seeing? Any errors that you’d like to share?
“Won’t work” is just too vague.
And again: f course, if you’re clicking that link with IE, it’ll choke on “feed:” protocol… but that’s not your core issue. I’ll adapt that to say instead of IE, most web browsers. You could edit the theme and remove “feed:” if that’s your issue.
I’m using an application called Vienna which says “an error occured when feed was last refreshed”. As for seeing, no content/ title, etc is being pulled in for RSS. But all content, title, etc is being pulled in for the corrent rss.
I’ve taken the ‘feed:’ out in my header.php file.
I totally get your suggestions above but there seem to be some common problems:
1 – no matter what theme I use the RSS isn’t working.
2 – althougth the bloginfo…. line is the same type of call for RSS as comments (see above) – only the comments works
3 – deleting and re-installing hasn’t worked
Users -> Your Profile
Add a nickname. That’ll swat one error.
Son of a ….. – you have to be kidding. Some thing as simple as that.
Thanks!!!! that did the trick
Lol! I’m ashamed I didn’t think to look at that earlier in this thread, but we got there eventually. 🙂
