manlygeekOK, I really like WP and have for sometime but now I am PI$$ED in a major way.
I am creating a podcast centered blog at :
I have a Podcasts category where that I actually post all podcasts and show notes to. I want to provide a straight forward URL so iTunes, et. al can access my Podcast feed. This is what my .htaccess file looks like:
#Podcast Rewrites
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^podcasts/?$ /index.php?category_name=Podcasts [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^podcasts/feed/(atom|rss2)/?$ /index.php?feed=$1&category_name=Podcasts [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
This does not work. I have tried dozens of combinations but its as if WP 2.x simply ignores .htaccess.
I have WP 1.5.1.2 running on another part of the domain and I notice that the .htaccess file there is huge and contains dozens of rules. WP 2.x doesn't seem to do that but has only a single rewrite rule and then a rewrite_rules option in wp_options that contains all the rules that WP 1.5 used to put in .htaccess. What the &*$(##&! is going on and how to I make WP use my feed rewrite rules?
