Donā€™t ask me why it was put in. It has been an active topic on the mailing list as far as what to do with it. Your feeds are not broken, just access them via [http://yoursite.com/wp-feed.php](http://yoursite.com/wp-feed.php) (or wp-rss2. php)and all will be well. * Someday when browsers support it, it will work. * Thread Starter [savemore](https://wordpress.org/support/users/savemore/) * (@savemore) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-template-rss-broken-please-help/#post-207706) * thanks for responding. the problem is that when u click on the link feed:[http://mydomain.com/wp-rss2.php](http://mydomain.com/wp-rss2.php) it comes up file not found.

Currently, the only browser that `feed:` has been fully implemented into is Firefox v1.0.4. To remove the `feed:` from you feed links, find the feed links in footer and/or sidebar templates and remove` feed:` from the feed links. For example, change this: * `Entries (RSS)` * into this: * `Entries (RSS)` * Thread Starter [savemore](https://wordpress.org/support/users/savemore/) * (@savemore) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-template-rss-broken-please-help/#post-207761) * hey many thanks & kudos to you. * Thread Starter [savemore](https://wordpress.org/support/users/savemore/) * (@savemore) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-template-rss-broken-please-help/#post-207762) * do u think its neseccary for it to be there then? or was i just panicking for no reason? * do u know how to add the atom & xml as well where it has rss under meta? if so what and how do i add them with there respective icons * Thread Starter [savemore](https://wordpress.org/support/users/savemore/) * (@savemore) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-template-rss-broken-please-help/#post-207789) * i tried ur recoomendation and now when i click on the rss feed link it takes me to folder feed..but no rss2 šŸ™‚ I checked in the validation and validation is giving a parsing xml errors * any other insite?
