 * I’ve recently noticed that WordPress, for some reason, excludes posts from the
   RSS feed when they are tagged in one specific category.
 * To be honest, I’m clueless where to start looking. Any advice or prior experiences
   with that?

 * No it doesn’t. Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.

 * Could you point me towards some files in WP code where I could look into?
    Because
   I can’t just deactivate all of the plugins on a live site.
 * For example, let’s say the category name is “video” – full feed doesn’t show 
   posts in that category, but if I look into, say, feed for category “other”, it
   will show posts that are tagged as “other” and “video”.

 * If your feed is excluding a specific category, then it’s either a plugin or your
   theme. It’s definitely not WordPress core doing this.
