Feed Redirection Error!
Posted in Blog Tips | By AhTim @ April 16th, 2008
Really busy after come back from my leave on Monday. Lots of weird problem happened not only at work but also my blog. When I click on my url feed (http://AhTim.com/feed/) by right it should auto redirect to my feedburner url. But it just failed to redirect! My firefox prompt the error page below, “The page isn’t redirecting properly”. Have you experience this feed error before?
I thought it was due to the Feedburner FeedSmith plugin error. I reload the plugin and re-activate it. Still failed. After that, no choice I have to use redirection technique by tweak .htaccess file. Somehow, it still fail to redirect. This is first time it happen to me. I am sure I do not change any blog settings.
Redirect Feed to Feedburner
Instead I suspect it may due to some php coding problem. It is not easy to read through all php codes in my blog theme. After all, I have found a plugin called Redirection.
After download and activate and plugin, I have added in the redirection for my feed. I redirect from Source: http://AhTim.com/feed/ to http://feeds.feedburner.com/AhTim. I think this is the reason why my rss feed subscribers has been slightly drop. New readers might not be able to subscribe to my feed due to the error above. Luckily, I have detected and fix it! 
Since I am planning to upgrade my blog to Wordpress 2.5, I will use the redirection method for temporary solution. If you still facing problem subscribe to my rss feed, pls do not hesitate to contact me.
