Over the weekend, my RSS feed went totally blank, which made you people miss couple of posts. Thanks to everyone who sent out emails to let me know. It turns out that the culprit was WordPress 2.5.1 upgrade. I directly link to my feed generating files (wp-rss2.php) for FeedBurner to burn my feeds. For some weird reason, those files don’t send any content in WP 2.5.1

Fortunately, the fix was pretty simple. I had to change my FeedBurner settings to use pretty permalinks instead of wp-rss2.php. It’s really painful to see your feed go blank to for three days. My feed count took a small nose dive :(

  5. “Fortunately, the fix was pretty simple. I had to change my FeedBurner settings to use pretty permalinks instead of wp-rss2.php.”

    I don’t suppose you could tell us how you did this.

  6. @Biff: Well, that’s pretty straight forward. Just had to log into FeedBurner and edit the source feed from http://yoursite.com/wp-rss2.php (or anything which ends with .php) to http://yoursite.com/feed/

    Hope that helps you.
