Description

I described the problem here :

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/264654?replies=1

Long story short : trying to get the COMMENTS RSS feed from a category doesn't work since I upgraded to 2.7

wathever.com/?cat=XX&feed=rss2&withcomments=1

This link leads to a "not found".

I didn't have answer on the forum where I asked people to test it in their installation, so I submit here to see if you can reproduce the problem.

For instance, while asking google god about this problem, I found the Ryan Boren's Blog whom explain the "feed everywhere" feature for wordpress 2.2 wich include the possibility to get the comments feed from a category:

http://boren.nu/archives/2007/02/25/in-the-trunk-2/

But, If I follow the link on his page, it leads to a "page not found"... The same problem that I have... :

http://boren.nu/archives/category/wordpress/comments/feed/?withcomments=1

If it's not a bug, just tell me where I'm wrong and close this ticket.

Thanks.

I get a 404 / File not found if the Category (XX in your Example) does not exists.

I get a 200 if it exists.

For Example, the URL in my Testsystem for getting the RSS2 Feed of Categroy "Cat 1" is:
http://example.com/?cat=cat%201&feed=rss2&withcomments=1

This does work for me. Have you checked that the category you request acuallty exists? Don't feel offended, until you provide more feedback I close this ticket as "works for me". You can re-open it any time if you like.

Summary changed from Comments RSS feed from a specific category... Broken in 2.7 to Comments RSS feed from a specific category with CAT ID... Broken in 2.7

Of course I checked with a category that actually exist. On many installation.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough... The XX should work with the cat ID ... At least, it did before my upgrade to 2.7...

Here is a live example :

This, like you found (thanks by the way) works :

http://bangbangblog.com/?cat=chroniques&feed=rss2&withcomments=1

But this doesn't :

http://bangbangblog.com/?cat=10001&feed=rss2&withcomments=1

"10001" is the ID of "chroniques"...

And this also works :

http://bangbangblog.com/comments/feed/?cat=chroniques&withcomments=1

And this also doesn't work :

http://bangbangblog.com/comments/feed/?cat=10001&withcomments=1

I changed the title to include the ID issue, changed priority to low and reopened.

I Don't want to sound too fancy, but something seems really broken when you try to use the Cat ID... Will have pretty long url if my category name is something like :"the-pros-and-cons-about-heidegger-metaphyisic"...

Yeah, I tested that with slugs and with the numerical ID value. I tested that against 2.8 trunk and it works. maybe you need to rebuild permalinks. in my test, the browser was redirected (category is "cat-1" with id 3):

the request

http://192.168.2.106/wordpress-trunk/?cat=3&feed=rss2&withcomments=1

gets redirected to

http://192.168.2.106/wordpress-trunk/category/cat-1/comments/feed/?withcomments=1

are you experiencing this problem with wp 2.7 or wp 2.7.1?

#6 @SimonJ

Have this problem with Wordpress 2.7, as stated in the ticket.

I'll try the permalink rebuild right now.

#7 @hakre

is updating to wp 2.7.1 not an option?

additionally i'm encountering now problems as well. not found messages and listing of posts in a category feed that are not part of the category.

all looks ok for me after rebuilding permalinks myself again but not the link withcomments.

http://192.168.2.106/wordpress-trunk/?cat=3&feed=rss2 - works

http://192.168.2.106/wordpress-trunk/?cat=3&feed=rss2&withcomments=1 - does not work

Hum. Rebuilding the permalinks give a strange issue... With the cat ID The page is indeed found, but in firefox it displays no comments, although they are visible in the source...

http://bangbangblog.com/?cat=10001&feed=rss2&withcomments=1

I have the same issue on a dev install, with no permalinks at all. Page found, no output, but comments visible in the source... :

I'll see if upgrade solve this issue.
