• I know this has been talked about a lot around and there are a number of topic on this issue, but I’ve spent the last 24 hours going through all of them to try and figure out how to fix the fact that since upgrading to WP 2.7 my RSS feed as gone away.

    I have deactivated every plug in I’m using on the site, try .htaccess rewrites, removed all whitespace from the wp-config.php file, replaced WP files with new ones from a fresh WordPress download, and everything else that has been talked about. And none of this has worked.

    Even did a brand new install for WP for a new site I’m working on and that RSS doesn’t work. So I think this points to some kind of problem with the new 2.7 code, so is there any news on when this major, major problem is going to get fixed or are all of using WordPress going to have to deal with being unable to have RSS subscribers?

  • Other than “gone away” what is the error message if any?

    URL?

    Here is the url to the feed address: http://www.erikakers.com/feed

    I just check that and before now it was a Page Not Found error and not the parsing error that is now showing up.

    try the plugin the last poster in this thread recommends?

    That plug in fixed the error, but now the original problem is back if you go to my Feed address http://www.erikakers.com/feed is says there is nothing found, thus I still don’t have any RSS feed.

    Okay I believe I have found the problem. I add this to my functions file to put a delay in the RSS feed from when I publish a post to when it’s published via RSS

    function pulish_later_on_feed($where) {
    	global $wpdb;
     	if ( is_feed() ) {
    		// timestamp in WP-format
    		$now = gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s');
     		// value for wait; + device
    		$wait = '30'; // integer
     		// http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_timestampdiff
    		$device = 'MINUTE'; //MINUTE, HOUR, DAY, WEEK, MONTH, YEAR
     		// add SQL-sytax to default $where
    		$where .= " AND TIMESTAMPDIFF($device, $wpdb->posts.post_date_gmt, '$now') > $wait ";
    	}
    	return $where;
    }
    add_filter('posts_where', 'pulish_later_on_feed');

    I removed that and everything seem to work again, I just remember that I added that after the last post. Has any one else seen a problem like this? Is there is some way to not post the feed right away?

    all I did was update the permalinks to a different stucture. Took me forever to figure it out but feed validator kepts showing the same problem so I thought it was worth a shot. Try it.
