RSS feed gone missing after changing permalinks

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I decided to change my permalinks to reduce the size of the URL and to avoid keyword stuffing in the URL.

My site is http://lowcostmarketingstrategies.com/

I changed the permalinks from /%category%/%postname%/ to /%postname%/ which has basically removed the category from the URL's.

I worked out how to redirect the old URL's automatically to the new URL's and had no problems with this.

But today when I clicked on the RSS link on the home page of my site it is just white space on both the chrome and Firefox browsers.

The link is http://lowcostmarketingstrategies.com/feed/

I have tried to find some quick fix plugins and other solutions but nothing is working and I am getting frustrated.

I am not that worried if I lose the current subscribers, but I want to make sure that the link works from now on, and the RSS functions properly.

Does anybody have any suggestions or solutions?

Scott

    Looks like your RSS feed is basically giving the white screen of death (WSOD). I'd check the server logs to see what the actual error message is. There is most likely an error message, but without display errors turned on in PHP, it won't show it on the screen - you have to check the log on the server. Where it is depends on the host/configuration. Mine are in /var/log/httpd.
