Recently we’ve updated our wordpress code to keep pace with some of the many new features and to ensure the integrity of our seo blog site. One of the great things about WordPress is the fact that developers from around the globe participate in expanding its features and functionality via widgets and plugins.
With that benefit, comes cost. As the WordPress blog is also the target of unsavory characters who have nothing better to do but look for holes in the security of the WordPress code. This leads to updates that are security driven, rather than updates that are quality or usability driven.
Regardless, this week I have noted our RSS feed is not working and the reason for this post. Simply to let you know we are aware and will be working to address the matter. I realized this after our most recent update when testing to make sure everything worked – which it doesn’t. My back end is a bloody mess to say the least.
In doing some research on the issue over the weekend to see if there was a quick fix, I went over to the wordpress support forum and did a search for “rss feed not working“. To my surprise, the results I found were in the neighborhood of 14500. Not a small problem. Especially if you have to sort through them all.
So, yes we are aware the rss feed does not work, and will work to address this as time allows in our schedule. If you have not updated to the newest version of WordPress, be careful and backup your site – yes we did, but I have not resigned myself to reverting just yet. You may have the same RSS issue which seems to be prevalent based upon the forum. I am also pretty sure part of my back end issues relate to plugins and widgets that are not playing nice with the new code.
Until Next Time.
