Since Feedburner was taken over by Google, their server urls have changed and the way they react to certain feed readers and it’s been next to impossible to get answers out of their support group. At first their preferred format was feeds2.feedburner and the old url stopped forwarding properly for my API so I added the 2 to any request.

Now, however, they have gone back to using the old format (or at least I think they have) so I made some minor edits to the API to takeaway the 2 and hopefully that will help with getting the most up to date posts from a feedburner feed.

If you have a feedburner feed, be sure to visit the member page and update your feed url so it uses the original format.

    I cannot get the edit to take on the feed address. I can change anything else in the main URL section but the feed URL reverts back to include the “2″ every time I edit it.

    I have changed the feed URL in wordpress feedburner details to exclude the “2″ but cannot make the change here. I notice that Goolgle feedburner also excludes the 2 now in my feed details on the feedburner site, so excluding it should be correct.

    Why does the edit fail?

    Thanks,
    John

        Sorry, but it isn’t fixed yet. I’ve tried using two different browsers, clearing cache, etc, but still the edit on the Feed URL doesn’t take.

        Also, I’ve always been puzzled why I had to have a “blog” on your system in order to get the enhanced features. When I signed up on the system to get the post choices on the comluv link, I found no way of avoiding getting a blog even though I was careful to click the right choice of preference. I don’t want t a blog here at all. Is there a way of deleting it without losing any commentLuv features? And I love the features :-) so thanks for that.

        I’ll wait to hear on the feed address edit fix and if you can elaborate on the blog thing, that would be great.

        Cheers,
        John

    Thanks, I see you must have taken care of that, as the feed address is now the proper version. I see it lacks the http:// but I guess that doesn’t matter.

    This plugin is one of the most all-round useful plugins available. I hope you find good ways to make it pay you so that you can be here for the long term and expand on what you do.

    Cheers,

    Well I am still getting banned for an invalid feed url and I have no idea what my next move should be. I have spent a ton of time trying to figure it out and I am getting very frustrated when I see that nasty joojoo thingy pop up every time I leave a comment…

    Maybe you can tell me what to do with it…

    Any suggestions at this point would be a life saver :)

      It looks as if it worked on this site! you need to unban your url and then read what error happens when you next comment, that will tell you what area you need to investigate. For example, invalid character at line xx would mean your feed has weird characters in it which are probably made by javascript or analytics code.

      In any case, you need to submit a support ticket if you want help with a problem. It gives me a single place where I can help people rather than trying to remember which post has the question on. thanks!
