footer rss link on debian not working

    I have wordpress 1.5.2 installed from debian testing. I’ve had it installed and running for several months, but never tested the rss feeds. I found that the rss links in the footer do not work. The html source looks like:


    <div id="footer">

    The Inscho’s is proudly powered by
    <a href="https://www.ads-software.com">WordPress</a&gt; and
    <a href="https://debian.org">Debian</a&gt;
    <a href="feed:https://inscho.northfolk.ca/?feed=rss2">Entries (RSS)</a>
    and <a href="feed:https://inscho.northfolk.ca/?feed=comments-rss2">Comments (RSS)</a>.
    <!-- 16 queries. 0.181 seconds. -->

    </div>

    I’ve never worked with rss before, but it looks to me that removing the feed: would fix everything up.

    It is interesting that the header rss feeds work. I have tested using Opera:


    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="https://inscho.northfolk.ca/?feed=rss2" />
    <link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92" href="https://inscho.northfolk.ca/?feed=rss" />
    <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 0.3" href="https://inscho.northfolk.ca/?feed=atom" />

    So, rss works, but the footer link is wrong. What do I need to do to fix this?

    OK. I get the same error with this page…

    If I click “RSS feed for this thread” I get the error message:

    The address type is unknown or unsupported

    I’m using Opera 8.

    I edited /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/footer.php and changed:

    <a href="feed:<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>">Entries (RSS)</a> and <a href="feed:<?php bloginfo('comments_rss2_url'); ?>">Comments (
    RSS)</a>

    by removing feed: to

    <a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>">Entries (RSS)</a> and <a href="<?php bloginfo('comments_rss2_url'); ?>">Comments (
    RSS)</a>

    Everything seems to work now. Why is “feed:” included in the first place?

    OK. Found some good explanation at https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/52462
