Author Topic: rss feed showing in unexpectedly way (Read 1488 times)

Anonymous · « **on:** March 14, 2009, 05:12:35 PM »

Hi,
if I check the option 'RSS feed' then
the category is showing like

Before
------
category 1
category 2

After
------
category 1
(
RSS
)
category 2
(
RSS
)

What's wrong?
That's same whether I put the 'full path of rss image'.

btw, the full path means

http://~~~~~/rss.jpg

something like that, right?

I'm using WP 2.7.1 and these are my plugin list.

Plugins
------
Akismet
Extended Category Widget
Flickr Manager
Register Plus
Sidebar Login
Smart Youtube
Theme Test Drive
TinyMCE Advanced
Whisper Comment
WP-SpamFree
WP-UserOnline
WP Hide Dashboard
WP Sentry
WPtouch iPhone Theme

Full path to the picture means:
/wp-content/theme/name/images/rss,jpg for example. Not the URL path.

Sorry about that confusion

http://www.woodsidebaptist.org/wp/

pointed to http://www.woodsidebaptist.org/wp/wp-in ... es/rss.gif

and just wp-includes/images/rss.gif

Let's say all the RSS icon you want to display is located at:
http://www.foo.org/wp-content/uploads/rss.gif

The full path you have to enter is:
/wp-content/uploads/rss.gif

Take note of the / in front of it.

I'm also having this problem, and have tried installing the rss icon in several different places to no avail.

When I do get an image tag to show up, using this path:

Code: [Select]

/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/feed-icon.png
... it's a broken image and Safari is giving this error:

Quote

Resource interpreted as image but transferred with MIME type text/html. : feed-icon.png

I also tried a relative root referenced path to the image, such as "/img/shared/feed-icon.png" but that is not recognized at all.

What is the exact criteria for the image path and location?

Thanks,
Michael

For me worked with "wp-content/uploads/2009/07/feedicon12x12.gif" but just on the main page, if you go to an especific article the it disappear de icon and instead shows de RSS link.

Add a / in front of the path and it should work for the pages as well.

Hello,

First I wanna thank you for your good plugin, it exactly fits my needs.

I have exactly the same behavior than Neodian.
I tried to add a leading / but it doesn't work at all.
Actualy on my blog I left without the leading / that allows me to have a clean index.
As soon something changes in the url (entering a post/category or anything), the image link goes broken.
I'm using latest wordpress stable 2.8.2 and version 2.0.3 for Extended Category Widget.
It would be easier if we could just configure an URL instead of this problematic path.

Kind regards

I will be releasing a version soon where you can enter an URL instead of full path to the image on your blog.

I just returned from vacation and am playing catch up.

I just released version 2.1 which will no longer have the RSS image check.

Dear Peter,

I've just installed this update 2.1 and updated my wordpress to latest version 2.8.3.
I'm afraid to say that the issue is the same with the rss icon.
I tried with a leading / and without or a full url
Without I'm able to get image on index page but not on the others.
With image link is just broken.
In few word, exactly the same problem.

Thanks

Dinde,

What is your site?
Where is the RSS icon located on your site?
