Fixed a WordPress Feedburner Replacement Bug

BugThis morning I logged into Feedburner to check my stats. AAAARGH! 0 subscribers on all my blogs. Seems my upgrade to WordPress 2.0.3 broke the feedburner redirect plugin.

How to fix it

I experimented for a while, and came up with this surefire fix:

  • Login as admin, go to plugins

  • Disable the Feedburner replacement, then re-enable
  • Go to options, then Feedburner.
  • Disable the redirection
  • Click the Feedburner tab again, and re-enable
  • Click "activate"
  • Now edit your .htaccess file on the server.
  • Change this line:
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^FeedBurner.*$

    to this:
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Feed.*$

    hey bruce, thanks for the note. i havent actually had a problem since. actually i discovered that i wasnt having a problem at all. i just hadnt cleared my cache before refreshing the feedburner feed page to make sure it was synced up with my latest posts.
