Title: RSS problems Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # RSS problems * [notto86](https://wordpress.org/support/users/notto86/) * (@notto86) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problems-2/) * I just started my wordpress blog a couple days ago, and I am having a problem with my RSS feed. I use Firefox as my browser, and that picks the feed up with the orange icon on the bottom right of the browser, but if i enter my feed URL into feedburner, it isnt recognized. does anyone know what my proper feed url is? here is the address of the blog [http://nick.ottoempire.com/](http://nick.ottoempire.com/) first of all, my feed is incorrectly linked on the bottom of the page as this“ feed:[http://nick.ottoempire.com/wp-rss2.php”](http://nick.ottoempire.com/wp-rss2.php”); and that brings up an error when you click it. i am guessing the feed is this“ [http://nick.ottoempire.com/wp-rss2.php”](http://nick.ottoempire.com/wp-rss2.php”); but that is the URL that feed burner doesnt recognize! * also, are permalink url structures really that important? i would like to leave them as the default where they are archived merely by number, but wordpress themselves says its better to restructure the URLs for link longevity or whatever… i dont understand that at all.

If you search on here you will find that it has happened before and the way you can fix it. * Thread Starter [notto86](https://wordpress.org/support/users/notto86/) * (@notto86) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problems-2/#post-180978) * ok so i figured out that this rss feed url works [http://nick.ottoempire.com/index.php?feed=rss2](http://nick.ottoempire.com/index.php?feed=rss2) so can i go to my footer file and change the link to that? * [davestinner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davestinner/) * (@davestinner) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-problems-2/#post-180981) * Yes, you can.
