• I’m horribly sorry if this is answered somewhere, but I’ve been searching for well over an hour and can’t find anything on it.

    WordPress is installed here: http://sistermonkey.com/blog/ and I’ve moved the blog address to http://indigentskirl.sistermonkey.com/ . Now, I’ve moved index.php and edited it as per the official instructions. Everything works perfectly as far as I can tell, except for the RSS feeds. The RSS claims to be set up as http://indigentskirl.sistermonkey.com/feed/rss2/ which returns a 404 with http://feedvalidator.org/ and returns “No input file specified.” when viewed through the web browser. http://sistermonkey.com/blog/feed/rss2/ still functions perfectly, and while I suppose that’s all right if it has to be, I really want the feed to come from the indigentskirl address.

    I’m running WordPress 1.2.2, and I do have permalinks enabled. In case it’s relevant, the only plugin I’m currently running is AuthImage 2.1. If there’s any other information I can supply to make fixing this easy, I’m happy to supply it.

  • I’m no expert and I have never moved my blog, but could it help if you updated the permalink structure? I mean clicking the Update button in Options > Permalinks and then editing the .htaccess accordingly (maybe copy the current contents of the .htaccess somewhere first — just in case)

    Unfortunately, trying to update the .htaccess automatically generates exactly what was there before. It doesn’t look like it checks the actual address at all — all the links generated included ‘/blog/’ in the structure (which I have pulled out). In case it helps anyone get more ideas, here’s the .htaccess I have currently:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^category/(.*)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /wp-feed.php?category_name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA]
    RewriteRule ^category/?(.*) /index.php?category_name=$1 [QSA]
    RewriteRule ^author/(.*)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /wp-feed.php?author_name=$1&feed=$2 [QSA]
    RewriteRule ^author/?(.*) /index.php?author_name=$1 [QSA]
    RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/?([0-9]{1,2})?/?([0-9]{1,2})?/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?([0-9]+)?/?$ /index.php?year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&name=$4&page=$5 [QSA]
    RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/?([0-9]{1,2})/([0-9]{1,2})/([_0-9a-z-]+)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /wp-feed.php?year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&name=$4&feed=$5 [QSA]
    RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/?([0-9]{1,2})/([0-9]{1,2})/([_0-9a-z-]+)/trackback/?$ /wp-trackback.php?year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&name=$4 [QSA]
    RewriteRule ^feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$ /wp-feed.php?feed=$1 [QSA]
    RewriteRule ^comments/feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$ /wp-feed.php?feed=$1&withcomments=1 [QSA]

    You need to change your WordPress and Blog URLs in Options/General.

    No, I already did — as I said, I followed all official instructions for changing the blog address, and I do believe that was step 1. The wordpress address is correct as: http://www.sistermonkey.com/blog and the blog address is correct as http://indigentskirl.sistermonkey.com … those would be, respectively, the address where wordpress is installed, and the address where I want it to display (and where it does display).

    In that case, you’ll have to re-do your permalinks.

    Thread Starter iconoplast

    (@iconoplast)

    Re-do in what sense? Regenerating the .htaccess does nothing, and I’m rather partial to the current permalink structure ( /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ ). Is there something else that you mean?

    Enter your permalink value again, and hit the update button. Also, try using /archives/ before hand. Ex: /archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

    I have, and it changed nothing. When I reincluded /archives/ in the permalink structure for kicks, all it changed was including /archives/ in my permalink structure — it didn’t change a thing on the RSS.

    Please be sure that the .htaccess file in question currently exists in the same directory as your current index.php file. Your permalinks aren’t working either. Your topic links 404.

    The .htaccess file is in the correct place. I’m not sure at all why you got a 404 on the topic links — I don’t get them. Could have been a temporary hiccup on my server, I suppose.

    Okay, I’m going to give this one more shot to see if anyone knows why this is happening. If it comes to it, I can reinstall it at the new address, but I’d prefer not to.

    I have the same Problems! My Blog also moved from 72quadrat.de/v4/weblog/ to 72quadrat.de/blog/ but the permalink of my news Weblog shows the old Feed-Content. The Permalink is: 72quadrat.de/blog/feed/ A check of the real wp-feed.php shows the new Feed: 72quadrat.de/blog/wp-feed.php

    Oh well, I’m verry confused. I’ve also redone my Permalinks…

    I recently posted to this thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=24203

    I guess I found the solution (at least in my case it’s one): Fire up your favorite text editor, open wp-feed.php and substitute the location within the “require” directives for the location within the “require” directive in your main index.php file. Now it works again. Maybe this should get added to
    http://wordpress.org/docs/installation/different-address/ if it’s THE solution, I don’t know.. πŸ™‚

    In my case it was some kind of FTP-Trouble I think. After checking the htaccess File some times, i found some OLD Permalinkrules that did this redirection to my old feed. But in my case i did a clean htaccess from the 1.5-admin-tool. But it seems that the server didn’t handle this. So i have killed the htaccess for some time and did it again.
