WordPress Theme: WP-Polaroid RSS Feed Correction
June 24, 2010 – 8:00 am |Having recently installed WP-Polaroid on our Spotted Koi business website we wanted to run through all the links and make some customizations. We ran across a few oddities (like this one) including a BIG problem with the RSS Feed link.
It seems the designer decided that our RSS Feed links ought to point to HIS RSS Feed, rather than ours. That’s really not acceptable so we made some minor modifications.
To change this you must go to your ‘Editor’. You can find the link in the left sidebar under ‘Appearance’. Make sure you’re editing the ‘Header (header.php)’
Look for the section of code that’s related to the RSS feed:
This is the section of code you’ll replace with this: “<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?>”
Make sure you save your file by clicking ‘Update File’
And you’re done! Now your subscribers will see YOUR RSS feed!

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title=" RSS Feed” href=”" />
<link rel="pingback" href="” />
SUBSCRIBE TO THE FEED…
<a href="”>POSTS

MixMason,
It looks like your links aren’t quite filled in. Try it like this:
<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> RSS Feed” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?>” />
<link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘pingback_url’); ?>” />
And this:
<li>SUBSCRIBE TO THE FEED…</li>
<li class=”feed”><a href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ? rel=”nofollow”>”>POSTS</a> </li>
<li class=”feed”><a href=”<?php bloginfo(‘comments_rss2_url’); ? rel=”nofollow”>”>COMMENTS</a></li>
