Hi!

Check your configuration of the syndication plugin, there you can force feedburner feeds.

In your template's index.tpl, find

Code: Select all

<link rel="alternate"  type="application/rss+xml" title="{$blogTitle} RSS feed" href="{$serendipityBaseURL}{$serendipityRewritePrefix}feeds/index.rss2" />
and replace {$serendipityBaseURL}{$serendipityRewritePrefix}feeds/index.rss2 with the full URL to your feedburner feed.

Don't forget to save your changes. This may be overwritten in case of an update to either s9y or the template, depending on which template you're using - one that came with s9y, one installed via Spartacus or a custom template.

Thanks YL
Don't forget to save your changes.

you mean like doing backup? i backup every file i change.

as for index.tpl

i've done these changes and it's now redirecting to the feedburner page.
i'm just having some concerns ...

does removing the syndication sidebar plugin affects anything? [i've removed it 30 minutes ago]

there is some plugin used on wordpress "commentluv" whenever i comment it doesn't show the latest posts! what could be the reason for that?

Probably not - do you have a specific concern? Why did you go through the trouble of forcing feedburner if you are disabling the syndication plugin?

I know nothing about commentluv... can you be a bit more specific, including examples?

just to focus on one feed that will make me monitor the stats and it's also easier to place the url on the sidebar with html hugget than enabling it from the syndication widget

it's a way to make people comment on your blog and also gives them link to their latest post that's why it's called commentluv as it makes people comment more n your wordpress blog

anyway.. it should work on the commentator feed url directly and i tried it few times and it didn't work at all

but i wasn't able to try after the changes of the new version or the few fixes in the feedburner part today.
