# RSS Feed Not Found – Permalink Issue?

* Hi all,
* I’d appreciate some help with getting the RSS feed on my site to work properly–
currently the RSS post feeds do not work and the comments RSS do work. Currently
the permalink structure is on site/post-name/
* However when I switch the permalink to the default option both post and comments
feeds work properly.
* I’d appreciate any guidance on getting the post RSS to work as well – the site
is located at [myshopedia.com](http://myshopedia.com).
* Thanks in advance!

* 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.

* What is in your root .htaccess file? I think this is a redirection problem.

* 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!
