• Hi,

    After several e-mails, I’ve been alerted to the fact that the RSS feed for my Website has stopped working, and I’m not exactly sure why.

    We just use the standard WordPress RSS feed and the URL is: http://www.wrestling-edge.com/feed

    On I.E. it won’t load at all, and in Chrome it is spewing out a ‘this webpage has a redirect loop’.

    The only changes we have made in recent months refer to installing WP-SuperCache and changing .htaccess and upgrading WordPress.

    Can anyone help?

    I thought this was to be a support forum?

    @amishpatel,

    Serious tip #1: and how many people have you helped out on the forum today? Putting pressure on folks that give freely and willingly to help others won’t get you far around these neck of the woods.

    The only changes we have made in recent months refer to installing WP-SuperCache and changing .htaccess and upgrading WordPress.

    All three of these can cause feed issues (from my experience).

    Suggestion:

    1) Deactivate WP Super Cache (temporarily) to see if the issue still happens.

    2) Roll back .htaccess changes (temporarily) to see if the issue still happens.

    3) Use Feed Validator to see if any probs with the feed are highlighted.

    True…

    Bit impatient as it’s a bit of a big issue at the moment and I’m getting a lot of unhappy visitors. I’ve tried what you said.

    Seems .htaccess is the issue. The contents are below

    I removed everything above the # BEGIN WordPress and it the RSS worked fine. Is it coded incorrectly or something?
