I’m using FeedBurner FeedSmith & WP Super Cache with WP 2.8.4 without any problems. I am not using that WordPress SuperCache-Plus plugin that you are using tho.

I also agree with mark that the culprit may indeed be the Feedburner Feedsmith plugin.

The Feedburner Feedsmith plugin could be making assumptions which aren’t true.

It all boils down to the “correct way” of doing things, though I tend to side with Donncha doing it the right “WordPress approved” way simply because working on WordPress is his day job at Automattic.

First, it’s neither WordPress 2.8.4 nor Feedburner Feedsmith plugin, because I’m running both and haven’t faced any problems so far. Its WP SuperCache plugin that’s affecting your feed.

I just used HTACCESS hack to redirect my feeds once I upgraded. It also helps having one less plugin installed. =)

Oops!

I did’nt mean 304 redirect. It’s WP’s 304 Not Modified feed response that I override.

That’s a freudian slip. I was working on something redirect related.

Hi,

SuperCache-Plus does deliberately prevent the WordPress generated 304 redirect for feeds happening otherwise it would be caching the empty 304 response. However; it’s done this since just before the public release of Wp2.7. I’ve taken a quick look at the feed caching in SuperCache-Plus vs. WP2.8.4 and I don’t see anything that has changed enough to make me raise an eyebrow.

I haven’t been following the internals of Donncha’s SuperCache for a while, but a cursory glance tells me it still disables SuperCaching based on is_feed() and doesn’t attempt to address the 304 issue, so effectively it handles feed caching in a completely different way to mine.

I’d be inclined to point the finger elsewhere, but if you can pin down anything concrete, I’m more than happy to take a look at it.

Thank you for the mention, Andy.

I am glad I was helpful. You also remind me that I ought to finish my email marketing guide. Have put it off for too long. :-(

I burned my feed with google feedburner, I can not able to get much feed subscriber, I do not know what I have to do how to improve my feed subscriber.
