Fixing an RSS Feed Not Found In WordPress
The other day I noticed an issue with RSS Feeds not being detected by browsers in some WordPress sites, even though there were clearly links to RSS feeds present on the page. Is this the case for your WordPress blog? There are a couple of easy ways to check if your RSS feed is not found. One is to simple go to your website and see if the orange RSS icon appears in your browser URL field as it does for this site (and if it doesn’t please let me know). If you want to use an online tool to check the validity of your RSS feed and receive some additional information about your website, you can use a service like the one at Is My Blog Working.
At the end of the day, there is an easy fix for an RSS feed not being detected by your browser in WordPress. You just need to add the following code inside the <head> tags in your header.php file.
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92" href="<?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 0.3" href="<?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>" />
By default, not all 9bit Studios WordPress themes have this code (because not all websites have a blog). But if you find this is the case for any 9bit Studios themes you are using, you can simply add the above code to your header.php file to fix the problem.
