RSS Feeds
Feeds are now fixed, or at least the XML pages don’t generate a bunch of errors when opened, followed by content that is all wrong.
For benefit of others who have upgraded Expression Engine and lost their feeds, the problem is that the existing copy of pi.xml_encode.php in the plugins folder didn’t get replaced by the new one.
In the unzipped files on your hard drive, this file can be found in [Expression Engine Path]\system\plugins.
In your files online, the file goes in [web root]/[name of your “system” folder]/plugins.
Where the stuff in square brackets will be specific to you or to the version of EE. They recommend that you change the name of the system folder from the default, making it harder for someone to break in, and in this version they seem to have changed their own default name. But I digress.
Let me know if anything weird happens or if the feeds work fine. I was inspired to fix it after finding a problem with the XML for thecotc.com yesterday, in which it thought the name of the index page was weblog.php instead of index.php. The fact that this guy had his working helped me too.
Well, I just looked at my RSS feeds and this morning they’re not working.
But in the time it took to compose this comment, I replaced the old file, and now they are working again.
