In reply to: RSS link?Thanks to all that responded to help me – the promptness and clarity of the posts is impressive but following th instructions in the post that Bell pointed out for me is probably not at my level.
All is well and working now.
I hope that I can return the favor for some other newbie in time to come.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: RSS link?No, I’m probably still doing something wrong.
The command you gave was already in the first box on the options/permalinks page
I redid the “Update Permalink Structure” and copied the text from the bottom box again to the htaccess file on my PC, then put the .htaccess file in the wp-admin folder because that’s what the address i saw when I held the mouse over the link for WP to edit it seemed to mean.
But WP can’t find it and I don’t see any way to republish the blog which is what I would do with other programs I’ve used.
This has the feel of being something very simple.
It is also extremely frustrating.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: RSS link?Thanks.
Like MacArthur, “I shall return”.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: RSS link?Sorry, this is the entire htaccess file – I did not have one as far as I am aware until I copied this text from the options/permalinks page.
So now, in language suitable for someone that started with Word Press today and does not understand how the software works – just wants to use it, how do I set up an RSS feed that matches the Rss link that Word Press put on my blog
OR
how do I change the link that Word Press put on my blog to the (currently) correct one –
http://www.ezytodo.com/blog/wp-rss2.php
Thanks.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: RSS link?I made an htaccess file for the utility to block spam comments
Do I have to add something to that or change, please?

In reply to: RSS link?The link given here (thanks very much) works but the link in my WP blog is the /feed/rss2/
mentioned above.
Do I need rewrite rules or can I insert this http://www.ezytodo.com/blog/wp-rss2.php
somewhere (where, please?)?
If I need rewrite rules, how do I do that?
Thanks.
