WordPress FeedBurner Plugin for 2.0
For those of you upgrading to the newly released WordPress 2.0, I’ve made an update for the FeedBurner plugin. WP 2.0 totally reconfigured the way permalinks are handled, so the plugin had to change quite a bit. It still functions the exact same way on the outside, so all you should have to do is deactivate, upload, and reactivate. Visit the WordPress FeedBurner Plugin page to download. Enjoy.

Thanks again for cooking up this update, Steve. We (and our publishers) appreciate you keeping on top of this!

Thanks for doing this excellent tool. Would have thought it would be an option in 2.0 but guess it did not make their list.
After installing and getting the permalinks updated it seems that it worked, but when adding the feed link http://www.insytes.com/blog/feed/ to my bloglines reader as a test, it picked up the WP atom folder instead. Is there something else I need to do with this, or perhaps use a different feed URL?
My prior blog resided at http://chrisheuer.blogspot.com/ before moving it to WP2.0 at the insytes domain today and the feedburner feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/ChrisInsytes – or perhaps is there a bloglines caching issue of some sort?

hi I really love your Tiger Admin Theme. I works Fine In Wordpress 2.0 Expect for the Write Page where Everthing Looks Messed Up. Looking forward to an updated version of the theme that works with WP 2.0. Its a really cool theme

I’ve just installed your plugin and updated my .htacess file and I’m trying to update my feed URL through Feedburner, but when I put in the random generated URL into my Feed’s options in Feedburner it says there’s a 404 error. If you try the randomly generated URL it does work:

For some reason, Feedburner doesn’t take it. Any ideas?

I’m having exactly the same problem as Prashant. If I open the URI in my browser it displays the RSS feed, but Apache is showing a 404 in the logs. I’m at a loss :(

Hey folks,
I posted what I think is the problem/solution on the support forum for this plugin…

I’m still working out some issues, but feedburner can now read my feed once again. Basically, I changed my permalink structure from date/title to the default choice in the permalink admin page, and the problem was solved. This appears to be an issue that occurred back in WP 1.5 and has reared its ugly head again. I am not 100% sure this will fix all the 404 errors, but it fixed mine.

I agree with Bluesaze; WP Tiger Admin breaks on the writing page… a WP 2.0 version would be nice. Just a suggestion ;)

I also have this 404 problem after using the plug-in. I don’t exactly know how but it is fixed if I change rule for /blog/wp-rss2.php from [QSA, L] to [R, L] or [QSA, R, L] seems it just works.

PRIV had a good tip, changing
/wp-rss2.php [QSA,L]to/wp-rss2.php [QSA,R,L]worked for me. Though I hear on the forums that Steve is testing a new version with a small group of people. If anything, this fix has at least gotten my feedburner feed working again, so thanks for that. Though I’d still be interested in seeing an update that takes care of this at the source so one doesn’t have to continually switch the flag rules.January 5th, 2006
