[resolved] RSS feed to category not working (3 posts)

    I have created a site on WordPress with a blog within the site.

    The RSS feed for the site as a whole works fine, but adding a feed link for the blog within the site (a specific category) doesn't - clicking on the link merely takes you to the page, rather than opening up the 'Add to Google Homepage' page (my default).

    I am using get_category_feed_link for the specific category ID (which has worked for me on other sites), but even trying all the other suggestions from the codex WordPress_Feeds page won't work, nor anythig I've found within the forums.

    I have got this to work on other sites I've created, I'm just having an issue with this one.

    Any suggestions?

    Cheers.

    Actually, after a few hours of standard debugging - deactivating plugins (didn't work), tested the site with the default theme (worked!), removed elements of the page section by section (didn't work), I tested with the default functions.php and as this worked, I established that one of the 'handy' functions that I'd picked up last year, inherit_template() from brassblogs.com, was the culprit (he now has a post highlighting the issue with post 2.7 WordPress). Got there in the end.

    ...and found the plugin Elevate Parent Category Template to replace the inherit_template() function.
