What do you have set in Graphene Theme options for RSS?

Hi, I’ve turned the top bar in Graphene off, which contains the RSS button.
This is what’s written in the style.css sheet when I pressed Control+Find for ‘rss’:
.sidebar ul li span.meta-rss {
display: inline-block;
width: 0px;
height: 16px;
}
The theme’s CSS has nothing to do with this. Can we see the site using the default permalink structure?

Sure – I’ve reverted now to the default structure and now rss works well [there is a rss box to the right].

I would like the site to use a custom structure with /page name after the site domain.
The strange thing is when I use any of the custom structures such as day, month or page name the rss for comments work but not the rss for posts. I used feed validator and for post rss it has a ‘Page Not Found – 404’ error message.
I’ve reverted now to the default structure and now rss works well
What is in your root .htaccess file? I think this is a redirection problem.

Here it is (sorry I wasn’t sure what was relevant so I’ve copied the whole thing :P)

Hi Esmi – thanks so much for your help! Problem solved! 🙂 You’re awesome!
I’ve solved the problem in the following way:
1. I noticed the 404 error message looked strange – it was a default error page from my hosting company.
2. I googled ‘typical wordpress directory files’
3. I compared what I had in my webroot folder (where my wordpress was installed) to the typical wordpress list.
4. I deleted the problematic files ‘rss.html’ and all other non-wordpress essential files that my hosting site had in my webroot.
5. THE FEEDS NOW WORK!
Lesson learnt: stick to WordPress basics – and it shall work!
