Fixed a Wordpress Feedburner Replacement Bug

June 10th, 2006 · 2 Comments

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.*$

    Dear Bruce,

    I have now a problem with my feedburner plugin and want to do according to your tips but I can’t find a file .htaccess file on my server. Can you help me find it with some advice?

    May God bless you!
