RSS Feed not updating – Feedburner issue?

My original WP RSS feed automatically redirects to feedburner even when typing it in and not linking from my blog. I’m not sure if that’s normal.

That’s normal, but you’ll have to temporarily disable the redirect so we can investigate the source feed.

I just de-activated “FD Feedburner Plugin” and my source feed is no longer re-directing.

Here is my original RSS: me-go.nwt/rtw/feed/

I’m following my site’s RSS as the original feed (since that’s where most of my subscribers get it from and I’ve had no luck with redirects) and my feedburner feed redirect. The original feed is showing up correctly now, since I’ve disabled the plugin, and the feedburner feed is not updating still.

Perhaps I need to try another Feedburner plugin instead? I need a plugin to use Feedburner for RSS, correct? I don’t think there’s an option I’ve missed in the dashboard.

The all came about because my site was hacked and I took it all down and re-installed WP clean. I decided to change the location of the blog on my server but it got so messed up that I decided, after a lot of messing around, to go back to the original folder structure that you see now because no matter what I tried (.htaccess, plugins, Feedburner, etc.) I couldn’t re-direct my subscribers to the new feed address.

I got it working until recently and now I assume it is an upgrade to this plugin that’s been causing recent problems. However, most of my readers still subscribe to the original feed and I know my readers (Google Reader and Bloglines) both pick up the original feed. I thought it would be re-directed through Feedburner but its not, which is just odd. That’s a bit of a separate issue and something that I’d like to fix but isn’t keeping me up at night. Thanks!

Since your source feed is working, I’m inclined to suggest that it’s a problem on Feedburner’s end. You should contact their support forum:

https://groups.google.com/group/feedburner

They should be able to help you with the redirect problem too.

Thanks, James. I’ll see what I can do over at the FB forums and report back.

You’re welcome!

I think I may have solved it! I have an old blog and I imagine the RSS feed is quite big. I found directions on the Feedburner forum on how to limit the number of entries the RSS feed calls up through Feedburner. See here.

James, I’m having the opposite problem. I disabled all Feedburner plug-ins as well as took the redirects out of my .htaccess file, but my feed keeps redirecting to feedburner.

At this point I’m lost and considering blowing my whole site away. Very frustrating to say the least.
