Comments (rss) link not working “this feed contains code errors” message

  • Hi! I am very new to building my site and using wordpress 2.7
    Someone please help meeee!!

    I have a problem with my comments (rss) link on my website (the link is at the bottom of my page) – yellowanswer.com

    I don’t know what plugins are, yet. So, I haven’t plugin anything. I have been using wordpress through my hosting site and creating my site like that. So that means I haven’t downloaded wordpress onto my computer. Anyhow, how do I fix my problem with the comment (rss) link not working?
    Also, where can I find “config.php” listed in my themes area?

  • wp-config.php is not part of a theme it is part of the core installation and exists at the root of your site.

    I have a feed at https://www.computingcivilization.com/feed/rss. It is not working properly. Can any one help me, how to repair it.

    (version 2.7) I cannot find where feed.php is to fix the comments (rss) link on my main page. I go to wordpress and the “Appearance” then to “Editor” and all I see is a bunch of links with .php , like index.php. But I don’t see feed.php. Where would that be?

    Where is wp-config.php that is at the root of my site??

    @yellowanswer your feed.php is located at: yellowanswer.com/wp-includes/feed.php

    and your wp-config.php would be in the root of your site

    topper4125’s solution works, but I prefer a slightly different alternative which I explained in my blog entry on the subject last week.

    I understand that this fix has already been incorporated into the WordPress code and will be included in the next release.

    The problem does not arise if you use one of the alternative formats for ‘permalinks’ that does not use ampersands.

    Just checked the latest trunk… Looks like the solution you described was used in the latest trunk version of wordpress. I wonder why it differs from the solution that is in Trac.

    Oh wellz.. Either way works.. I’ll be sticking with mine till the next major release.

    Thanks for pointing out the solution they are going to use. =)
