RSS feeds

    So – I have 3.2.1 installed. I understand from reading posts that RSS feeds are automatically included. However, when I view my blog as a user – not admin – I don’t see an RSS feed.

    I put the widget into the sidebar when setting this up – and put my blog name http://drydiapersplus.ca/wordpress/ – and then typed ‘feed’ after the last backslash – but it said there was no such address – so I took out the word ‘feed’ – and just left it as typed above – but still no RSS feed is showing.

    How do I do this?

    Thanks

    How, exactly, are you expecting the RSS feeds to appear?

    I don’t know? I understand that all WordPress blogs come with an RSS feed built into them – so people who want to subscribe to an RSS feed just click on the RSS feed button and voila! They receive updates.

    However, when you click on my link above to my wordpress site – that feed doesn’t show.

    I tried to enable it on my widgets – on the right sidebar – (dragged and dropped) but as I said above – it asked for a URL for the feed – but I have no clue how to access that information – I don’t see it anywhere in my wordpress admin…

    Thanks

    The automatic feed links generated by WordPress can be found in the document head; your browser can auto-detect such links, and you can see them by viewing the browser source.

    WordPress won’t add RSS links automatically to your template output, because such functionality is entirely Theme-dependent. You were on the right track, by adding a Feed Widget.

    If you have pretty permalinks enabled (Dashboard -> Settings -> Permalinks), then your default feed link will be:

    http://drydiapersplus.ca/wordpress/feed/

    (And it appears that this link does output a valid RSS feed.)

    Yes – thank you – I actually started playing around and found the permalinks while I was waiting for an answer 🙂

    Thank you very much for replying to my question as I’m sure I’m not the only one who couldn’t figure this out 🙂
