If you remove the slashes, and then force a DB Upgrade, it should
work Allright

To force a database upgrade:
Browse to /wp-admin/options.php
Scroll down to "db_version"
Set it to a number one below current, eg, mine is 7796 so i'd set it
to 7795
Hit save changes
Continue to upgrade the DB and try the feeds again.
DD32,

Okay, I have to admit I'm confused here perhaps you could clear a couple
things up for me.


In WordPress there are 3 main ways to access a feed:
/feed/ = With permalinks
?feed=rss2 = For those without permalinks
wp-rss2.php = Directly load rss2

Some themes use the hardcoded filename, I believe that might be a left over from the old days, I'm not sure.
But the most common use of it today is for directing feeds offsite, Eg,
Many people will have /feed/ and ?feed=rss2 redirected to feedburner, But feedburner still needs to access it on the original site, So feedburner loads the rss feed via wp-rss2.php instead.

In this case, /feed/ and ?feed would continue working, but wp-rss2.php was showing a blank feed.

I think others have answered your other questions :)

Ah, that jives with what I saw in my header.php which appears to control what feeds are detected by a browser and also explains why the other two blogs were different from mine, one of which was not using permalinks. I "burned" my feeds from day one, I just never dug into exactly how feeds worked and how they might be controlled by a theme template.

Thanks for the info! A little bit wiser I am. :)
