redirect loop on my feed
« on: May 14, 2013, 10:41:50 am »
Sorry if this is a duplicate post - can't find my first one.

iTunes in no longer updating my podcast and when i validate the feed i get the below error.  how do i fix this?

Sorry

This feed does not validate.

Server returned HTTP Error 302: The HTTP server returned a redirect error that would lead to an infinite loop. The last 30x error message was: Temporary Redirect [help]


line 1, column 0: XML parsing error: <unknown>:1:0: no element found [help]


In addition, interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendation.

Feeds should not be served with the "text/html" media type [help]

Can you post the RSS feed you are getting the error on so we can take a look?

I'm getting the same thing in firefox.

2 things to check. 

1.  Look at your .htaccess file (in the root of your webserver) and see if there is a 301 redirect in place. It will look something like this:  RewriteRule ^path/to/feed http://www.example.com/new/feed/ [L,R=301]  If you do, and you do not need it, take it out of the file and replace the file on your server.

2. disable any plugins that have to do with feeds or RSS such as feedburner

this is what is in my .htaccess:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

i don't think i have any plugins would affect it.

It could be Yoast..  Try deactivating it and see if that cures the problem.  Also check and see if the stock 2011 or 2012 theme has the problem.

i deactivated yoast and it wasn't that.  did some reading and changed how the permalinks are done. 

that has made a change, but not a good one.   now i get a different error when i try to go the feed page:

http://www.betweentheropes.com/?feed=podcast



how do i fix this?

Turn back on permalinks to be the title or something other then the standard perma links.
