RSS not updating for scheduled posts

When I schedule a post "in the future", and the time has passed and the article has appeared up on the site, it doesn't add it to the RSS feed... Is there something I'm missing? Event plugin in the wrong order or ?

Posting immediately works great.

I realize it won't update anything until the site has been visited *after* the scheduled date/time, but it doesn't update rss along w/ the page... just to be a little clearer :)

tia!

RSS Feeds use a feature called "conditional get" and thus cache your RSS feeds. So occasionally it might be because of that client-side caching that you think your RSS feed hasn't updated?

The RSS feed just straight pulls the entries from the database and regards the last-modified timestamp. In my tests here this worked well in RSS Readers, which did show up the new items after the last-modified time has passed...

Argh :D

OK, ignore that one. I'm blaming it on my rss reader (liferea) I just went and checked the rss in the browser and the articles are in there, but liferea's not showing them for some reason.

I really should have checked that first :roll: Apologies.
