# Missing RSS feed

 * I recently had a problem with the RSS feed which caused high CPU usage on the
   server, so my host had to turn it off for a while. I think I resolved the issue
   thanks to someone here, and I had to remove the RSS widget which was pulling 
   recent posts, but now, my feed seems to have disappeared entirely. It should 
   be at [http://www.themilkfactory.co.uk/st/feed](http://www.themilkfactory.co.uk/st/feed),
   or at least that’s where it used to be, but all I am getting now is an error 
   message.
 * I did add the RSS widget to my side bar again this morning, but since I am getting
   the following message a lot: “Error establishing a database connection”. I don’t
   know whether this is related, but I have just removed it again to see whether
   this makes any difference.
 * Thank you in advance for any help anyone could provide.

 * Have you tried contacting your hosts to see if they still have any form of block
   in place?

 * They have told me that they have reinstated everything, but that either the plugin
   was missing or the feed was removed. I thought I’d ask here before just in case
   if was something I’d overlooked…

 * Can anyone help with this? Do I need to have the RSS widget in my sidebar for
   [http://www.themilkfactory.co.uk/st/feed](http://www.themilkfactory.co.uk/st/feed)
   to work?

 * No you don’t.
 * > either the plugin was missing or the feed was removed
 * The feed is part of the WP core – not a plugin. How many posts (as opposed to
   Pages) have you published?

 * I have around 670 posts in total. Does it mean that I might need to reinstall
   WordPress? Would this resolve the issue do you think?
 * Thanks for your help, this is much appreciated.

 * I was wondering whether anyone could help with this. I have reinstalled WordPress
   this evening hoping it would solve the issue I have with my RSS feed having vanished,
   but it hasn’t.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.
