Trouble With My RSS Feed Links (1 post)

    Hi Guys,

    I hate to post a new thread, but I have been hunting around the last 3 hours and I'm getting that panic feeling down deep... I figured I would sign up and ask for help from the community. Fingers crossed :)

    A few months ago I created our site http://www.canuckast.com and installed the RedTime Theme (not sure if that matters. When I first set up the site I started (again for the first time ever) learning about how to build and setup RSS feeds.

    During my initial setup I built the file and through it in the root of my site folder. I did something within the settings to point the main RSS Feed button on the WordPress pages to http://www.canuckast.com/rss.xml and it worked great. Whenever I clicked that button it brought up a nice looking page in my browser with all the posts laid out nicely.

    I started using the URL http://www.canuckast.com/rss for submitting to iTunes, Looking up in the BlackBerry App etc. and it worked great for months.

    Then I switched from one Podcast Plugin (BluBrry) to another and then back. Since then everything has gone south and I don't know how to fix it...

    Even though I still have the file in my root and you can hit it via http://www.canuckast.com/rss.xml it now longer shows up looking like a nice site and now looks like a text file...

    If you try to hit http://www.canuckast.com/rss it redirects to http://www.canuckast.com/feed/rss/

    If you press my main RSS button on the site it sends you to http://www.canuckast.com/feed/ and again that isn't the right file... you can tell because it has added stuff you don't see when you go direct to the rss.xml

    Anyways I hope all of that makes sense....Hope someone has had this issue and fixed in the past...

    I guess I am looking to

    A) Repoint my RSS button to go to http://www.canuckast.com/rss and have that work again
    B) Somehow kill the other feed references...and redirects
    C) I have the BluBrry plugin reinstalled which is the one I originally had which worked great for me but now even that shows my feeds incorrectly in the Feed tab with no option to change them... I would like to understand what to do there....

    I don't use feedburner or anything like that just trying to keep everything local on the main site.

    Thanks for your help!!
