Fixed a Wordpress Feedburner Replacement Bug
Posted on | June 10, 2006 | 2 Comments
This 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.*$

Dear Bruce,
