DISQUS

Hillary · 1 year ago

Thank you so much for this! I have been trying to figure this one out forever!

Hope you find it useful.

thanks! but i cannot get this working. when I use the url for feed category (like in yout post), firefox shows error : Redirect loop. any tips?

Send me an email at jon.gilkison at gmail and we'll see if we can get it sorted out.

Brilliant idea - if only I could get it to work!

Just to make sure I'm doing things right (the names have been deliberately genericized):

FeedBurner settings:
- original feed: http://www.my_domain.com/feed?category_name=php
- feed address: http://feeds.feedburner.com/category_name

new WP plugin settings:
- first, normal feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/sitename
- second, new category feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/category_name

Am I on the right track, or have I screwed something up here?

Thanks for any input ... and thanks again for fixing this plugin and putting it out there. You're a prince!

Yup that's the way you do it.

You will have to create a new feedburner feed for every category you want to "burn".

Let me know if you run into any issues, there might be some bugs in my patch, I've only used it on this blog and my poker blog.

The issue that I've run into is that (much like Curley when he tries to think), nothing happens!

What I mean is, the newly burned FeedBurner category feed pulls the *entire* feed, exactly like my original feed does. The single category limitation does not appear to be functioning.

Any ideas?

Maybe this will make the issue clearer:

After implementing the settings, when I attempt to subscribe to "http://www.my_domain.com/feed?category_name=php", FB still points the feedreader to "http://feeds.feedburner.com/sitename" (instead of my brand new "http://feeds.feedburner.com/category_name").

Does that make sense?

sparkletack · 1 year ago

The settings for the original FB feed (as outlined by Iflyhigh) didn't work for me.

For anyone else who's had an issue similar to mine, try this:

FeedBurner settings:
- original feed: http://my_domain.com/category/category_name/feed
- feed address: http://feeds.feedburner.com/category_name

new WP plugin settings:
- first, normal feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/sitename
- second, new category feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/category_name

Thanks for the plugin modification. It worked the way sparkletack describes it. :) Btw. I like the "rate up", "rate down" system. Is that achieved through a plugin too?

This is a great plugin. I wonder, though, if it's possible to get it to work with sub-categories. It redirects properly if the sub category is called with "/category/child-category-slug/feed/" but not if it's called as "/category/parent-category-slug/child-category-slug/feed/"

Is it possible to make it so the feed redirects using either slug?

iflyhigh · 1 year ago

I'll take a look at it sometime this week and see if I can get it to
work.

Not working for me.
It's not redirecting, but it shows the category feed in the url, but the feed is all of the articles.

Here is what my settings look like.

FeedBurner settings:
- original feed: http://www.evancourtney.com/?cat=212
- feed address: http://feeds2.feedburner.com/ evancourtney/the1814

new WP plugin settings:
- first, normal feed : http://feeds2.feedburner.com/evancourtney
- second, new category feed: http://feeds2.feedburner.com/evancourtney/the1814

Any ideas?

This is great -- been looking for this solution for a LONG time to separate the feed for a podcast from the main blog. Thank you!

Narada · 9 months ago

Hi,

This is great but I'd like to use /tag/foo/feed. Is this possible? Tagging is preferable to categorisation in my opinion. The latter is primitive and superceded. An interface where one can add a tag to feedburner feed mapping (instead of having a listing of all tags because there would be too many) would be very useful.

Would really appreciate it.

Work perfect Thanks very good plugin

This looks like a great plugin. How might I hack it to work for author post feeds?

On a multi-author blog, all author feeds redirect to the same base-feedburner feed; I need to be able to have each author have their own feed.

Thanks in advance for the help!
