# Permalink breaks my RSS feed

 * Ok, so my RSS feed stopped working and I could figure out why. I read somewhere
   to use the default permalink option. This fixed it. So basically if I try to 
   use “Day and name” or Month and name” for the permalink my rss feed won’t work.
   Anyone know how to fix this?

 * When you change from other than default permalinks, you have to add to, or created
   an httaccess.file.

 * ok, where would the new location of my RSS feed be? I feel like that is not the
   problem… ALSO it was working with the “Day and name” permalink for over a week
   and then one day stopped!

 * Feed is still at url/feed but you should have an .htaccess file in the root that
   says something like,
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * When you change your permalinks you get a message if your .htaccess file is not
   writable. If you get no message WP has successfully changed your .htaccess file.
 * If you have a .htaccess file then that is probably not the problem.

 * Ya, my htaccess file already had that information. And when I manually went to
   the link of my feed it doesn’t work. Any other ideas?

 * You do need to correct some errors, [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.technicallycoordinated.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.technicallycoordinated.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0)
 * Have you turned off any plugins?
 * Also, you cannot get a 404 error on your site only an internal server error which
   may point to something not configued correctly.

 * Ok, I fixed one of the validation errors, the rest are occuring after the footer
   where the php calls wp-footer. I can’t seem to find the wp-footer file to edit
   these errors.
 * I haven’t tried turning off plugins, but I will give it a try.
 * Do you think its cause the php version on my server is 4, not 5?
 * Thanks for all your help so far!

 * You have feed here, [http://www.technicallycoordinated.com/blog/?feed=rss2](http://www.technicallycoordinated.com/blog/?feed=rss2)
 * You have something misconfigued in your domain/subdomain/forwarding, htaccess
   etc. For example this [http://blog.technicallycoordinated.com/house](http://blog.technicallycoordinated.com/house)
   gives a server error (500) while this [http://technicallycoordinated.com/blog/house](http://technicallycoordinated.com/blog/house)
   gives a 404 error.
 * Decide where you wnat your blog to be and get rid of the other. BTW, footer info
   is in themes/yourtheme/footer.php
 * > Do you think its cause the php version on my server is 4, not 5?
 * P HP version 4.3 or greater is required.

 * Ok so if I want it to be at blog.technicallycoordinated.com should I add something
   like this to my htaccess file?
 * rewritecond %{http_host} ^technicallycoordinated.com/blog/
    rewriteRule ^(.*)
   [http://blog.technicallycoordinated.com/$1](http://blog.technicallycoordinated.com/$1)[
   R=301,L]
 * Cause I do know that I can view all my pages at blog.technicallycoordinated.com
   but for me to get into my WordPress backend I have to go to technicallycoordinated.
   com/blog/wp-admin

 * I got it! Thanks for all your help. I was looking at the htaccess file under 
   my main domain rather than in the wordpress folder itself. The wordpress folder
   was telling pages to rewrite to /blog/ which would make it blog.technicallycoordinated.
   com/blog/ being /blog/blog which doesn’t exist. It’s working now, Thanks

 * This may have some answers, [http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress)
 * AFAIK, you should make changes of blog location under settings, general but be
   careful here. If you make an error you will have to fix it through your database.
