How to Redirect WordPress Feeds to FeedBurner without a Plugin

This is awesome! It took me 6 months to figure this out. Thanks a lot for the wonderful post. Now the feeds redirect just perfectly fine :)

I used something similar to this in my .htaccess but after 2 days my feedburner feed stopped updating. To troubleshoot I removed the FB redirects, but my source feed still points to Feedburner, so now I have a recursive loop going. Why do you think it's still redirecting? DO you think adding the redirect code back to my .htaccess will fix it? It's almost like my .htaccess isn't being refreshed.

Source Feed http://www.entertainmentbuddha.com/feed/

FB - http://feeds.feedburner.com/entertainmentbuddha

Code I used wasn't in the proper location just under the permalinks rewrites. Also should your proposed code go within the section?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedBurner [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedValidator [NC]
RewriteRule ^feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/entertainmentbuddha[R=302,NC,L]

Thanks for any help you may provide. This is driving me nuts to say the least.

Nice tip, too many plugins means a mess so thanks for removing one.

Again, nice work, I will come again.

Thank you.

Error 500 here too - apache gives this error: "RewriteRule: bad flag delimiters"

Solution: put quotes around the first RewriteRule parameter, like so: "^feed/?([_0-9a-z-] )?/?$"

I am fairly sure that space after the ] is the problem here that forces the need for quotes.

Sir,
this is not working for me. Always 500 internal error. I also try kolobigi method but this also not working.

For all those having 500 / internal errors just copy the code below to replace that found in your word press .htaccess (Look for # BEGIN Wordpress to # END Wordpress and simply replace,yopu don't have to replace everything in .htaccess)

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedBurner [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedValidator [NC]
RewriteRule ^feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/YOUR FEEDBURNER ID [R=302,NC,L]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

Pls change the /YOUR FEEDBURNER ID to your own.

I already have this in the htaccess file.

Do I overwrite the existing code or copy paste below?

-------------------------------------------

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]

# END WordPress

Just one question. If I want my comments feed from my blog redirect to the FeedBurner as well as my main feed, do I have to create a new feed?

Thank you!

Thanks Modforest, that worked.

I got internal server error please, how can I correct this?
this code you gave is to replace everything in the .htaccess file or where in particular?

I am trying this tip for my news blog but it doesn't work. Always getting 500 error.

I am using feed redirctor plugin.Will try this now

Good tip - it's a problem I hadn't even considered before.

How does that go together with WordPress' permalinks?

I always get an error 500 when I try to combine those two scripts:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

Very, very cool. Thanks for sharing this, I was actually wondering if there was a way to do this yesterday.

Thanks for the tip, should help reduce the amount of load time since you're not using a plugin :)
