Thanks I was wondering if this was the issue. For some reason, my feed for my podcast worked a couple times, then stopped. Feedburner says it's OK, but I can't ping it. That's the only issue I found. I'm hoping this will fix it all.

If you like to use this great plugin with your category slugs too, than you have to enhance the plugin again. replace the function ol_feed_redirect() in FeedBurner_FeedSmith_Plugin.php in Line 137, with the following lines:

function ol_feed_redirect() {
global $wp, $feedburner_settings, $feed, $withcomments;

$category_name = $wp->query_vars['category_name'];
$category_name = split("/", $category_name);
$category_name = $category_name[count($category_name) - 1];

if (is_feed() && $feed != 'comments-rss2' && !is_single() && $category_name == '' && ($withcomments != 1) && trim($feedburner_settings['feedburner_url']) != '') {
if (function_exists('status_header')) status_header( 302 );
header("Location:" . trim($feedburner_settings['feedburner_url']));
header("HTTP/1.1 302 Temporary Redirect");
exit();
}
else if (is_feed() && $feed != 'comments-rss2' && !is_single() && $category_name != '' && ($withcomments != 1) && trim($feedburner_settings['feedburner_category_'.$category_name]) != '') {
if (function_exists('status_header')) status_header( 302 );
header("Location:" . trim($feedburner_settings['feedburner_category_'.$category_name]));
header("HTTP/1.1 302 Temporary Redirect");
exit();
}
elseif (is_feed() && ($feed == 'comments-rss2' || $withcomments == 1) && trim($feedburner_settings['feedburner_comments_url']) != '') {
if (function_exists('status_header')) status_header( 302 );
header("Location:" . trim($feedburner_settings['feedburner_comments_url']));
header("HTTP/1.1 302 Temporary Redirect");
exit();
}
}

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!

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 The latter is primitive and superceded.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.

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!

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?

[...] Feedburner WP plugin Category Fix enhances the original plugin to automatically redirect category feeds to the appropriate Feedburner feed. If you are using WordPress as a CMS and have a lot of sub categories, it’s a bit cumbersome to set up initially. Also, the plug-in has not been renamed (should be) to differentiate between the fix and the original plugin. I would recommend deactivating the original version and uninstalling it before installing this one to eliminate confusion. Needless to say, you need to use category permalinks for this to work. [...]
