I have installed Wordpress in my site and feeds seem that dont work. When i click over the link give me an error, as if the feeds were not running. But when i sindicate the site with any feed-tool, they work ok.

¿anybody knows why?

Thanks.

what is the exact error that you received? if you just clicked on your feeds link and try to view them via your browser, it would seem garbled or you'd otherwise simply be viewing the code. that is because you would still need the feed to be parsed properly so you can view it properly. thus you will find that a feed tool like the google reader would work okay since it is equipped to parse the feed correctly.

the feed link is not intended to be clicked for direct browser viewing anyway. if it works for your feed-tool, then you would need not worry much.

The message is something like "The protocol is not associate to any program ".

Its no really a problem, the feed works well with feed tools. I am getting started with Wordpress. Using other blog plataforms, when you click on the feed link, apears the xml page, but not in Wordpress.

I just would like to know if this is normal in Wordpress, and why, or maybe i have a bad blog installation or bad configuration.

But its just curiosity.

Could you give us a link to your feed?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you here, but it sounds like you're saying that, unless you open the feed file in a feed-reading program, you get an error saying that it is not an associated file format. I don't see how that would be any different than trying to open a .pdf file in a media player. Feed files can only be read by text document readers, web browsers, and feed readers, unless I'm mistaken. Trying to use something else would definately cause an unknown file format error, which may be your problem.

Of course I could be wrong, but that is what my guess is from what you've said thus far.

Its no so complicated, surely I am explaining things in a wrong way. Sorry about that. A clear example:

-Go to any Blogger blog and click on the feed icon. The browser will show you a .xml page with the content into tags. For example: xml feed file of this page

-Go to any Wordpress blog and click on the feed icon. For example: wordpress xml feed file, The link goes to a page with feed format code.

-But in my wordpress instalation, when I click on my feed link, it give me back the error.

This is my page (my signature) http://google-posicionamiento.info/

Probably its not really an error, just my blog configuration, but ¿which is the reason ?

In any case, thanks for your interest.

I dont think there is anything wrong with your wordpress rss feed. I can read the xml file correctly.

http://google-posicionamiento.info/?feed=rss2

actually, the extension is often misleading. There is no extension in a dynamically generated page. That's the post structure that you define artificially. You can get your wordpress page to be displayed as html, not ?p=123 sth for all posts, but it is just a trick of the browser. You cannot compare an rss feed with an rss2 feed. You are having different format with with your rss because they are not of the same version.

Thaks T100, thats realy the problem. When I changed the format of the urls, changing the permanlinks, the wordpress rss feed cant read the link. I have tried to change the url modifing the .htacces file, but i am not very sure about how to do it. I dont want to get wrong, and at least, i have only change this:

<a href="feed:<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>">Entries (RSS)</a>

to

<a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>">Entries (RSS)</a>

and now it can be readen -http://google-posicionamiento.info/feed/- .

I have implemented feedburner too, but i wanted to mantain the original feed of wordpress for the "autodiscover option", and i am learning how to do this correctly.

Then, I will try to explain the process here if nobody does it before.
