Category RSS not working at all

    I’m using the ‘numeric’ option for Permalinks with WordPress 3.0.1 on an adjusted Twenty Ten theme. (I did not mess with any RSS settings, just the colors and layout).

    I’m trying to get the RSS feed URL for my ‘news’ category.
    It is NOT working at all. There are 2 posts with the ‘news’ category.

    The default widget displays:

    RSS Error: A feed could not be found at http://www.sitename.eu/category/news/feed

    and I can’t insert it into Google reader either.

    (I altered the my URL since site is not done yet and I’ve got maintenance mode on – disabling that for a while did not fix the problem).

    See first post – site is not active yet. Instead of sitename it’s something else, but the rest is the same.

    Yeah, it’s hard (near impossible) to debug without being able to see the site.

    You said you’re using ‘numeric’ URLs. Do you have a .htaccess file at all?

    Prepare for still slightly ugly unfinished site 😉

    Self-hosted WordPress so yes, I have a htaccess file and access to it.

    Check one evoskates.eu/feed works. 😉 So that’s good! That measn it can translate the feed with pretty names.

    Check two evoskates.eu/category/news FAILS. That’s probably the real problem.

    Check three The link is actually evoskates.eu/archives/category/news/

    Thus… your URL is actually evoskates.eu/archives/category/news/feed

    @ipstenu Thanks, but :
    Check 4 – no feed found at that address ( I tried that URL already , in Google reader and also get the same 404 when I put it in a widget 😉 )

    I changed the Permalink format after I made categories.
    Should I just delete the category and start over and see if that will work??
