Title: RSS problem Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # RSS problem * Resolved [soaresalp2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/soaresalp2000/) * (@soaresalp2000) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problem-3/) * I’m new at WordPress. I don’t even know how to get to the “code” view of the main page, [http://www.altfg.com/blog](http://www.altfg.com/blog), so I can make changes to the page’s formatting. . . * Now, one thing at a time: * I’m having problems with the RSS feed. When I click on the link at the bottom of the page, I get a pop-up box that says “the address type is unknown or unsupported.” The same thing happens with the Comments link. * The RSS link reads: * feed:[http://www.altfg.com/blog/?feed=rss2](http://www.altfg.com/blog/?feed=rss2) * What is the problem? And how can I fix it? * And while I’m at it. . . * How can I add a “Subscribe to AltFG’s RSS Feed” (once I get it to work, of course) link to the main page, one that would work both for text postings and podcasts? * Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. * Andre Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problem-3/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problem-3/page/2/?output_format=md) * [tomhanna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomhanna/) * (@tomhanna) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problem-3/#post-244105) * The problem is the “feed:” in front of the url. It needs to be removed. * To do that, you’ll need to edit the correct template file, which in your case is the Footer file.

Pardon all the repeat postings. I thought that the message hadn’t been sent. . . * And thanks for the quick response. I’m assuming the info about v1.5.1.3. is on the WordPress main page. I’ll look for it. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problem-3/#post-244173) * WordPress v1.5.1.3 can be obtained here: [http://wordpress.org/download/](http://wordpress.org/download/) * Follow the upgrading instructions here: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress#Overview](http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress#Overview) * Thread Starter [soaresalp2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/soaresalp2000/) * (@soaresalp2000) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problem-3/#post-244175) * Thanks for the link. It looks like a long process, so I’d better handle that tomorrow.

I’ve been doing the uploading. So far so good. BUT. . . when I get to the wp-content folder, I’m a little confused. . . * This is what the wp directions say: * NOTE: If you did not delete the wp-content folder, do NOT upload the new one. The wp-content folder holds your WordPress Themes and Plugins. These should remain. Upload everything else first, then upload only those WordPress files that new or changed to your new wp-content folder. Overwrite any old versions of default plugins with the new ones. * Well, I didn’t delete since I was told NOT to. Now, what does it mean, “then upload only those WordPress files that new or changed to your new wp-content folder”? How will I know which files WordPress has changed/updated? What about the “overwrite any old versions. . .”? Why can’t I just then upload the wp-content folder in toto? * Any help will be greatly appreciated. * Andre Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problem-3/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problem-3/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘RSS problem’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [RSS](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/rss/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 18 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [soaresalp2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/soaresalp2000/) * Last activity: [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problem-3/page/2/#post-244314) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
