Using RSS

Provide a link?

If I were to guess, I’d wager that either your Permalinks are broke (see that link for troubleshooting)

-or-

your link to the RSS includes “feed:” and your browser doesn’t know what to do with “feed:”. The typical approach in that case is to edit your theme (likely your theme’s sidebar.php), find “feed:” and delete it.

Hi.

Thanks for the reply. I deleted “feed:” from the sidebar theme. Now I get a blank page with the following URL – https://aspetuckmedia.com/blog/?feed=rss2

Here is what remains of the link for RSS –
<li><a>" title="<?php _e('Syndicate this site using RSS'); ?>"><?php _e('RSS'); ?></a></li>
Any ideas?

Ha! I think I am causing it to create a list … Here it is with the list and link reference removed…

“<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?>” title=”<?php _e(‘Syndicate this site using RSS’); ?>”><?php _e(‘RSS’); ?>

A) I still see the “feed:” in your sidebar for the links to the feeds. But that’s not really the issue as https://aspetuckmedia.com/blog/?feed=rss2 should show us something besides a blank page.

B) The date’s 1969 on that initial post. You might delete that and add a “real” post there before we get too crazy here.

Hi HandySolo (any relation to Hans Solo?). I put the “feed:” back in in case it turned out I needed it. I took it out again and I deleted the 1969 post and added a new one (that has the correct date.)

When I clicked RSS this time I was taken to the URL: https://aspetuckmedia.com/blog/?feed=rss2 and this time I got the following message on the page:
