   I'm using the custom permalink structure: /%category%/%postname%/ on http://refreshcolumbia.org That has worked fine since I started the site in 2008, but it seems to be making category feeds impossible to get to. /feed works for getting the latest posts from all categories, but I'd like to get an RSS feed of just the posts with the Monthly Meetup (CatID#5 slug:meetings) category.

   I tried going to:

   • /meetings/feed/ - 404 page.
   • /?cat=5&feed=rss2 - Redirects to /meetings/feed...404
   • /category/meetings/feed - Serves an XML formatted RSS 2.0 404. I'm guessing it's trying to serve the comment feed for a non-existent "meetings" post.

   I've disabled all my plugins and tried the above URLs again, but as long as my permalink structure is /%category%/%postname%/, I can't get a category feed.

   I'm sure many people are using this structure. Any help in figuring out how to get category feeds working would be much appreciated. Thanks!

   Sigh. Found the problem. There was a "." in the category base field. For some reason, /meetings/ was still resulting in all posts from the category, but /meetings/feed would not resolve. After removing that period, /category/meetings/feed/ works fine.

   Feel free to delete this thread...
