    What happened after the upgrade to 2.5.1?

    1) My feed stopped working as it did before. Before, clicking on the orange feed button in Firefox sent the user to this address: http://www.headsign.de/wordpress/feed/atom/
    Now, this feed is broken.

    2) If I now click on the orange feed button in Firefox, I am sent to this address: http://www.headsign.de/wordpress/?feed=atom
    This feed is working but there are no images.

    Why on earth would people release a version with such major bugs? How can I fix my blog now?

    I am very disappointed!

  • Looks like you changed your permalink structure. Change it back to what you had before and you should be ok.

    Maybe you lost it in the upgrade? I just upgraded 8 blogs without losing the permalink structure though so not sure how that could happen.

    There is something about what you say. I upgraded an the permalink structure was broken. So I went whining about it here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/172063?replies=5 after what I followed the steps which were suggested to me and the issue was fixed. I’m a beginner with WordPress and I’m not really sure of what exactly was changed with this but it worked. How shall I change it back? Will change it back not lead me to the permalinks being broken again due to the upgrade?

    It looks like your original permalink structure was set to “Day and Name”. You could try switching it back to this.

    If it doesn’t work it’s more than likely your .htaccess file isn’t set up right anymore. Follow the instructions it gives you to make sure this is right. If it still doesn’t work reset back to default.

    Allright, so I changed back to “Date and Time” which resulted in the permalinks being broken again, just like after my upgrade from 2.5 to 2.5.1, so I switched back to default.

    As to my .htaccess, it currently contains the following arguments:

    Options -Indexes

    Redirect /wordpress/feed/atom/ http://www.headsign.de/wordpress/?feed=atom
    Redirect /wordpress/feed/rss/ http://www.headsign.de/wordpress/?feed=rss
    Redirect /wordpress/feed/rss2/ http://www.headsign.de/wordpress/?feed=rss2
    Redirect /wordpress/feed http://www.headsign.de/wordpress/?feed
    Redirect /wordpress/feed/rdf/ http://www.headsign.de/wordpress/?feed=rdf

    I added the redirects lately to fix the feed address problem I experience since the upgrade.

    Your htaccess should have contained something like the below code…

    #wordpress specific
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    ..in order for permalink structure to work right. WordPress admin tells you this when you update permalink structure. This should have taken care of your feed link problems also.

    You might try your permalink structure again combined with following this step and commenting out your redirects that you’ve added.

    That’s it. I had not realized that there was code to be added to the .htaccess when I updated the permalinks. Thanks.
