How to add feeds to feedburner

  • Hello.

    I have been looking at a solution to this question for many weeks and suffice I have read a lot of material, I have not been able to find a working solution.

    I have a couple wordpress sites that I’m running and very happy with the packages and the capabilities. However I’m still learning my way around the ropes so to speak.

    I cannot figure out however how to add my RSS feeds to feedburner. I’ve followed the documentation on feedburner.com (google) to add steve smiths plugin but this does not seem to work with the latest version of wordpress. I’ve tried a couple others but they seemed to not work either. So I’m open to trying all over again from scratch if someone has a working ‘how to’ for the latest version of WordPress.

    Another related issue is if I click on the link for RSS feeds on one of my sites, say https://www.example.com/feed/, I get a ‘google’ page to either add it to my home page or to Google Reader, which seems normal enough to me. But when I add it to Google Reader instead of picking up the latest stories it only picks up the first two (really old) and does not update.

    Perhaps learning how to get feedburner to work will solve this problem but I’m hopeful to get some answers from experts who’ve mastered this step.

    Cheers.

    At the very least you should have this for WP to run:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

    Hmm, yes ‘if’ permalinks are enabled/used. Otherwise it seems happy without this.

    Was there some other point to this step?

    Your theme is pointing to /feed as the RSS source, so at some point it thinks/wants you to have permalinks.

    Other than that, something in your htaccess file is conflicting. I’d remove it, see if it works, and if not, just start with the generic. Add things in one step at a time until it breaks again.

    The other (common) reason this happens is a conflicting plugin.

    (Just returned from days in the wild woolly granny’s where ‘Internet’ is rare)

    I’ve tried the generic template and am still getting a 404
    all plugins deactivated and still a 404

    GoDaddy says everything is fine

    I am having the EXACT same issue with my RSS feed. Any luck yet?

    same exact issue here too! it happens to me whether i’m using a custom permalink or the default link. i’ve tried deactivating some plugins and activating them again, but the issue isn’t going away! HELP!

    actually i just checked on feedburner and it asked me to see if my feed was valid and to confirm its validity. i clicked and it took me to this page:
    https://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=https://www.blog.studioearchitects.com/feed/
    and it says that my feed isn’t valid….some sort of date/time issue. but i checked in my settings and i’m using one of the default date/time.

    kathecasta, I notice that your feed is now valid. I’ve been having the same problem with mine at https://beau-tan.com/feed/. What did you do to get your feed to validate? Thanks!
