Feedburner...

Hello,

I have just activated my MimboPRO theme, I've only had time to carry out a couple of mods but hopefully will get stuck in soon when I find some time. Anyway, to the point of this post...

I have a FeedBurner account which I used for my old blog. However, with updating to MimbroPRO I have changed the permalink structure and the directory that WordPress is in. Now, of course people that have subscribed to my feeds from the FeedBurner address are not receiving them (this also includes the email subscription option).

Current Feed Details:

Posts Feed:

Original Feed: http://bluntedpresents.co.uk/blog/?feed=rss2
Feed Address: http://feeds.feedburner.com/bluntedpresents_articles

Comments Feed:

Original Feed: http://bluntedpresents.co.uk/blog/wp-commentsrss2.php
Feed Address: http://feeds.feedburner.com/bluntedpresents_comments

I'm wondering how I now go about redirecting the subscribers of these feeds. I was using the FeedBurner FeedSmith plugin on my old blog, I don't have to use this still as I can enter the feed details in the Mimbro Pro options?

WordPress is now at the location /bluntedpresents.co.uk/wordpress/ when before it was at /blog/

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Great theme!

Roscoe

Is the path to the current blog not something you can specify in your Feedburner.com settings?

I'm think too you could add a redirect to your htaccess file.

Hi Darren, thanks for your response.

I can change all the info in my FeedBurner account to reflect the new feed address, but I'm not sure how I go about directing the old subscribers to this new address? It says you can delete your FeedBurner feed and subscribers will be redirected to the original feed source, but the original source is no longer valid!

You say maybe .htaccess redirect?

When I relaunched my site, I wanted to redirect people from the old blog (darrenhoyt.com/blog) to the new one (darrenhoyt.com), so I used this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Redirect /blog /index.php
</IfModule>

Could you try that with your feedburner addresses?

Ok, fixed this problem. I added a redirect to .htaccess, changed the address in my FeedBurner account and updated the MimboPRO options.

This could be useful for future reference if anyone has any FeedBurner related questions:
