I’m in the same boat, so I’ll be watching the responses. The URL for my site is http://www.mcl159.org
I want to put the RSS image on with the way for folks to just click and add to their RSS readers. Probably a widget, but I am behind the power curve here.
BTW, I really am liking WordPress!
@dwojta: There’s nothing wrong with your feed. Try setting it to Full in Settings->Reading. Also it is considered impolite to try and highjack another poster’s thread. So please post a new topic next time.
Sorry, didn’t mean to be impolite, but I thought the answer would help both of us. No “hijack” intended, in fact I stated that I would watch for responses.
Thanks for your response, I appreciate it.
No help, but thanks for trying…
Thanks Esmi. At the moment there is no site – I am working in a localhost setting but later today, I should be able to put something up at
http:/www.seenandheard-international.com
What happened was that the feed was working and I noticed that it had a link marked Edit at the bottom, so I clicked it to see what it did. After that, a messaage flashed up asking me if I would like to do something else – can’t remember what now – and after I accepted that, I was left with the feed pages – reading and comments – showing nothing but code.
As I said I have tried all sorts to fix this but to no avail. Any advice would be much appreciated and I also would be interested to learn what Dwojta did to apparently cause the same problem – if that’s not breaking Forum rules of course.
By the way, I have just looked at Dwojta’s site and it show exactly the same sort of code as my site has on its RSS feeds.
All best, Bill K30
I have fixed it! The problem was not with WordPress at all but with a corrupted copy of IE 8 on my PC. This morning – I am in the UK – it occurred to me to check the site out in Firefox, where it was fine. I then tried the same thing on my wife’s laptop also in FF and again was fine. That made mne look at IE8 more closely.
For Dwojta’s benefit – if you are also using a version of IE – the solution is to reset IE8 -in my case – to its factory settings ie via Control Panel/ Internet Options / Advanced Tab/ Reset – at the bottom right.
After restarting IE 8 there is the usual Welcome routine and I chose to reject all accelerators and add-ons to ensure that there was no unwanted clutter. After resetting my start pages, I looked at the site again and the RSS feeds were perfect.
Hope this helps Dwojta and thanks Esmi for your interest in the problem. If the same solution works for Dwojta, then I would say that the problem is resolved.
Best, Bill K30
You have fixed mine as well Bil K30! I regularly use Google Chrome as my browser and when I switch to IE8 it reads it correctly. Now if there were only a way to get it to work cross browser…. 🙂
Thank you Bill K30!
