This question may be related to a resolved thread.

This has been working fine up until I upgraded to EE 2.1.0. Can anyone take a look and see if I’m missing something obvious.

James, I’m just seeing a standard webpage there, not feed XML.

yes, that’s the problem! it seems to be defaulting back to my /blog/index page rather than loading the RSS feed.

The template is properly set up as an RSS feed page in the template so I’m not sure what I’m doing incorrectly.

Preferences:
Template Name: rss_2.0
Type: RSS Page
Enable Caching: No
Refresh Interval: 300
Allow PHP: No
PHP Parsing Stage: Output

Access:
All member groups set to YES
Enable HTTP auth: No

James,

This works without the Query String

http://www.jamesmattison.co.uk/index.php/blog/rss_2.0

In fact your site seems to work without query stings altogether. you might consider turning it off. Was it on for a reason?

Thanks John, that has solved the RSS situation!

The only reason I can think of that I ‘might’ have turned ‘Force Query String’ to yes was when I was trying to remove the index.php part of the URL following the EE tutorial. I never managed to get that to work properly so I went back to the default settings and perhaps missed some of the items I’d changed.

No I have a new problem to solve - a lot of my static images and links were placed with the full URL, including the query string… now I either have to rename all the links or find a clever method to point an image tag to the default upload directory.

Perhaps a search & replace might work? A server-side rewrite rule could probably handle this, too.
