   Hi there. Just signed up with Feedburner for my site, and installed Feedsmith to go along with it.

   As I understand it, this plugin negates the need for me to edit .htaccess to redirect the feed URLs, right? I don't see how that works.. there does not appear to be any difference from when I activate it, or deactivate it.

   WordPress is still publishing http://www.sitename.com/feed/ as the url in either case - is that the desired function? That feed does not redirect or anything upon clicking..

   Another item - I want to use Feedsmith for my comments feed as well - yet it only seems to work for one feed.

   I don't understand how this is THE solution for Feedburner and WP - 2 year old plugin, and most links to its support point to a 404!

   oh hmm, now http://www.sitename.com/feed/ IS indeed redirecting to feedburner :) . looks like some caching.

   still though, how do I add a second feed?

   Here is the link to the updated Feedsmith plugin, at least I believe it is... Google took it over when they bought out Feedburner... I installed it and I'm having the same problem you had its not redirecting my http://www.sitename.com/feed/ ... What do you mean it looks like some caching issue??

   Oh haha, I see what you mean... I just grew a brain after I posted that and deleted all my internet history, cache, and the like and the problem is fixed!

   Hi,

   I hope someone is still checking in here. My website has two feed links. One that I programed manually to direct to feedburner and the one the feedsmith is supposed to redirect (upper right hand corner, says "podcast").

   goduckspodcast.com

   The link just absolutely refuses to redirect. If I can't figure it out soon I'm going to have to remove it... I only want people subscribing through feedburner.

   HELP!
