 * Hello and help please – Direct feed access not working.
 * Just upgraded to WP ver 2.5.1 running the Andreas01 theme.
 * [http://conciergeguide.com/news/feed](http://conciergeguide.com/news/feed) = 
   Working
    [http://conciergeguide.com/news/wp-rss2.php](http://conciergeguide.com/news/wp-rss2.php)
   = Not Working [http://conciergeguide.com/news/wp-rss.php](http://conciergeguide.com/news/wp-rss.php)
   = Not Working
 * I have deactivated all plugins and moved to the default theme – same issue.
 * I have read the other similar issues, but nothing exactly the same. If there 
   is already a fix posted I did not find it / search correctly.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * It’s not an error, it’s a security feature…
 * Really, not sure, I have seen the same thing. Very annoying to have certain things
   work and then just disappear without comment.

 * Yea – it is very annoying. I tracked it down:
 * Change the rewrite.php and version.php files in your wp-includes folder. The 
   changes are noted here – [http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7843](http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7843)
 * You must log-in to your blog and it will prompt you to update your database.
 * This will fix it. Of course the changeset file has no notation the you must log-
   in to your blog to trigger the update so I wasted a few hours when I would have
   had it fixed it 5 minutes.

 * It will be fixed in 2.5.2.
 * But realistically, you should no longer be using direct links like /wp-rss2.php
   and such. These are deprecated in favor of the /feed type links, or the ?feed
   =rss2 links if you use default permalinks.

 * Hey Otto – thanks for the info. If I want to parse a feed into another page, 
   what is the best format to use, or does it matter?
