Title: Problem with RSS Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Problem with RSS * Resolved [acid47](https://wordpress.org/support/users/acid47/) * (@acid47) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-rss-4/) * Okay, i installed the actual version of the wordpress. I told wordpress to use the “update service” and in the following box, i wrote the standard-URLs: [http://rpc.pingomatic.com/](http://rpc.pingomatic.com/) [http://ping.wordblog.de/](http://ping.wordblog.de/) * But non of these does show my blog to be updated, nore does e.g. ping.wordblog. de list my blog in generally. * So i figures out, that the problem might have come along with the non-working RSS-Feeds. * The URLs, wich pint to the RSS- and the Comment-RSS feeds, do simply not exist and i have no idea where this problem comes from. * The URL of my Blogis [http://www.acid47.de](http://www.acid47.de) * Hope you can help me! * Thanks a lot, acid47 Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [Kafkaesqui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kafkaesqui/) * (@kafkaesqui) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-rss-4/#post-364947) * Your feeds are there, but apparently the wrong url to them is hardcoded in your theme templates: * [http://acid47.ac.funpic.de/blog/?feed=rss2](http://acid47.ac.funpic.de/blog/?feed=rss2) * To output the urls to your feeds, you should use this for your href attributes to them: * RSS2 feed: `` * RSS2 comments feed: `` * Thread Starter [acid47](https://wordpress.org/support/users/acid47/) * (@acid47) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-rss-4/#post-365122) * sorry, but where do i have to include this code: * RSS2 feed: * RSS2 comments feed: * I could simply fix the URL manually in the sidebar.php, but i think, that wouldn’t fix the problem with the update services, i guess. So pleace tell me, where I do have to insert that code. Thanks * EDIT: If i simply put that 2 code-links into the sidebar.php, the output shows the old, not-working URLS: [http://acid47.ac.funpic.de/blog/feed/](http://acid47.ac.funpic.de/blog/feed/) [http://acid47.ac.funpic.de/blog/comments/feed/](http://acid47.ac.funpic.de/blog/comments/feed/) * So what to do? 🙂 * EDIT2: The Link to the rss-feeds are linked as follows: “>Entries (RSS) * And this does output the “old”, wrong url… *help* * [Kafkaesqui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kafkaesqui/) * (@kafkaesqui) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-rss-4/#post-365236) * I think you need to take another look at your permalinks. Right now categories show up as: * /blog/?p=category/allgemein/ * and archives * /blog/?p=date/2006/03/ * which are invalid. They’ll all effectively lead to the home page or generate errors. * Thread Starter [acid47](https://wordpress.org/support/users/acid47/) * (@acid47) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-rss-4/#post-365277) * okay that seems to be a problem, which happend while i change my permalink settings. that crashed my homepage for two times, so that i had to rechange the settings manually within the sql-database. * I’ll set up my blog once again and hope, that than everythink words fine. otherwise i’ll contact the forum again – thx * [rjoycestar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rjoycestar/) * (@rjoycestar) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-rss-4/#post-365349) * Kafkaesqui, * I think I maybe having the same problem. When I click on my rss links at the bottom of my blog, I get: the page cannot be displayed. * Do you have to enable some thing for wordpress to automatically generate the rss xml? * [Kafkaesqui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kafkaesqui/) * (@kafkaesqui) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-rss-4/#post-365352) * rjoycestar, a link to your blog would be helpful in checking to see what the issue is, though likely it’s that the default theme (as do many others) uses ` feed:` before the feed url. Numerous threads on the issue here: * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/49089#post-270060](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/49089#post-270060) * And no, one does not need to do a thing to generate the “automatic” feed in WordPress. Beyond installing it, that is. * [rjoycestar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rjoycestar/) * (@rjoycestar) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-rss-4/#post-365429) * Thank you Kafkaesqui, * You pointed me in the right direction. The rss feed link is now working. * You rock! * [se7en](https://wordpress.org/support/users/se7en/) * (@se7en) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-rss-4/#post-365452) * I’ve tried everything that I’ve found on this forum to get my feed working and I’ve even installed the feed plugin suggested by FeedBurner, removed the word“ feed” from the Entries link in the sidebar like I found on another thread in these forums, reinstalled all 3 of the recommended files for the feed, wp-atom and wp-rss and wp-rss2. It was working till yesterday then it suddenly quit and now running a validate check it says it’s being redirected too many times on the Feedburner feed and the regular RSS output from WordPress takes me to a page not found. * I really need my feed working, I depend on it. This is a fresh install of 2.0.2, running Linux Apache andd the site is at [http://www.blogflak.com](http://www.blogflak.com) * If you look at my FeedBurner output you can see where it was working up till yesterday because it has all the previous posts listed. * Can anyone help please? Thanks! * [se7en](https://wordpress.org/support/users/se7en/) * (@se7en) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-rss-4/#post-365453) * I have no idea why this worked but I renamed the .htaccess (I didn’t want to delete it in case it didn’t work) file so that WordPress wouldn’t be able to read it and hopefully it would create an updated one when it couldn’t locate the old. Now the feed is working on both the WordPress output and the Feedburner output. * The part that really had me going was that the site I created the theme on was running 2.0.1 and the feed on that same theme worked just fine there. Then I uploaded the theme when it was ready to a 2.0.2 installation on a different server at the same hosting company running the same exact software setup and the feed was screwed. * Beats me!
