Feed PHP files show no posts when WP has it's own directory

[Viper007Bond]

I have all plugins disabled on my personal blog, but wp-rss2.php and it's siblings are all displaying no posts. They aren't blank, just no posts to display.

However, the pretty URLs work just fine (I've disabled my FeedBurner mod_rewrite redirect rules for the moment).

Works: ​http://www.viper007bond.com/feed/
Nope: ​http://www.viper007bond.com/wordpress/wp-rss2.php

Works: ​http://www.viper007bond.com/feed/atom/
Nope: ​http://www.viper007bond.com/wordpress/wp-atom.php

The exact same thing is happening on another WordPress install on the same server too:

​http://www.finalgear.com/wordpress/wp-rss2.php

It still has active plugins though.

phpinfo(): ​http://www.viper007bond.com/phpinfo.php

Okay, I got how to duplicate it! If siteurl != homeurl, it breaks, i.e. if WordPress is in it's own directory.

I made a nice and fresh new WordPress install and both /feed/ and /wp-rss2.php worked fine. Then I moved the WordPress files and /feed/ worked while /subdirectory/wp-rss2.php did not.

As to why this is happening is beyond me. I don't know the feed code well enough.

Yup, Confirmed it with my blog having a HomeURL != SiteURL

​http://dd32.id.au/wordpress/wp-rss2.php - doesnt work
​http://dd32.id.au/feed/ - works

Does this exist in 2.3.3 ?

If so it may relate to [4551]

[Viper007Bond]

No, it worked fine in 2.3.3.

[westi]

Ok. It seems to work fine in my local test with permalinks disabled.
Now to try with them enabled.

[westi]

Definitely doesn't work with permalinks enabled.

It matches as a page lookup instead.

I have a fix which I will land in trunk for now and get some feedback/review before back porting to 2.5.1

[westi]

(In [7574]) Make sure the rewrite rules for the feed files match when WordPress is installed in a subdirectory. See #6460 this is for trunk.

[markjaquith]

It fixes the bug for me.

[westi]

Replying to markjaquith:

It fixes the bug for me.

Cool. I'll merge this into branches/2.5 for 2.5.1

[westi]

(In [7583]) Make sure the rewrite rules for the feed files match when WordPress is installed in a subdirectory. Fixes #6460 for 2.5.1.

[jsherk]

I would like to try this patch and see if it fixes #6484

Where is the patch? What files were modified/changed?

I tried to figure it out, but don't know my way around trac well enough yet.
Thanks

[Nazgul]

There is no patch attached to this ticket. Westi made a patch and commited it directly, without adding it to trac.

But if you click on the [7583] there is a link at the bottom called "Unified Diff".

[jsherk]

Okay thanks Nazgul. Tried it on #6484 but has no effect.

[7583] has broken HomeURL == SiteURL, See [wp-testers] Feeds not publishing on 2.5.1

The issue is that the slash is not present when WP is installed in the current directory, I'll attach a patch, the Db version will need to be bumped. (Patch against trunk)

[DD32]

[7583] has broken HomeURL == SiteURL

By that, I mean:
HomeURL == SiteURL:

• /feed/ = works
• /?feed=rss2 = works
• /wp-rss2.php = doesnt work.

[westi]

(In [7841]) Make sure the direct feed files work when siteurl == homeurl. Fixes #6460 for trunk props DD32.

[westi]

Re-open for 2.5.2

[westi]

(In [7843]) Make sure the direct feed files work when siteurl == homeurl. Fixes #6460 for the 2.5 branch props DD32.

[MattyRob]

I've applies the latest changes to my rewrite.php and version.php files and direct access to files such as wp-atom.php still fails to produce output.

HomeURL == SiteURL

• /feed/ = works
• /?feed=rss2 = works
• /wp-rss2.php = doesnt work.

[DD32]

I've applies the latest changes

Have you accessed the admin page to cause a database upgrade page to come up?

[MattyRob]

@DD32,

My apologies, I had run the upgrade on one of my site having edited the files but I was looking at the feeds from a different side - full on ID10T issue.
