• Prior to WP3, I had a category RSS in feedburner for a newsletter. Now the RSS setup that included only a single category (or, as was possible, excluded other categories) appears to no longer work. Can anyone else confirm/deny this?

    My site sent out a newsletter today of all the recent posts because the RSS feed that used to just have newsletters in it now has everything 😛

    http://silverpenpub.net/?feed=rss2&cat=1118 is the old URL

    Bah, so it is. I’ve been having problems with AfterTheDeadline in Google Chrome where form submissions will fail. The page gave me an error, I disabled it, and submitted a second time–didn’t realize it had created a second entry.

    Thanks for pointing this out.

    Duplicate topic deleted. This topic changed to unresolved.

    Can someone tell me if there was a solution found? That link doesn’t work anymore and I have the exact same problem.

    It was suggested to me that the Feedburner Feedsmith plugin might be to blame. I’ll test that out today and see.

    Nope, not that plugin. All old feed URLs go to /feed, which means my podcast one probably isn’t working anymore either >.<

    Can’t reproduce this problem on another site–I’ll keep investigating…

    OK, here’s what I’ve figured out:

    On my site, using the cat method fails, a la http://silverpenpub.net/?feed=rss2&cat=937 — it just shows all posts, like the regular /feed

    Using the pretty URL works, such as http://silverpenpub.net/category/podcast/feed

    However, I haven’t been able to reproduce this on another site.

    @lwelyk Try using the “pretty” method per the third example under Categories and Tags at http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/WordPress_Feeds

    I’ve spent hours and hours trying to get this working. After deleting Feedburner plugins, accounts and trying all the variations mentioned in these forums and the online documentation… I finally got it working.

    The key: Just edit any post and update it and it will republish your feed so that you can see any changes you have made. If in doubt, update a post and refresh the page. Worked for me (eventually)

    thanks for your links @silverpenpup
