@casmccullough are both blogs of same technology? I mean are both wp or blogpost? or differ with each other? I had no problem in getting rss feed

@juleswebb When a ran a diagnostic at Feedburner DISQUS came up in the line which was causing problems. So, I deactivated and ran the blog again to see if the RSS was working and it worked. I then activated DISQUS again and, once again, the RSS came up with errors. 

When I emailed DISQUS support, they basically said what you said, but because I made it clear the error was to do with DISQUS they’ve since sent me some more info that might help. I was just wanting to know if this was something other people have had issues with.

Both blogs are run on Wordpress.

@casmccullough may be @juleswebb‘s opinion is making some sense. At first sight, it seems to be case of conflict.

@casmccullough You currently have a commenting system in place. Are you looking to replace it with DISQUS or are you adding DISQUS in addition to what you now have?

Also I see that you include comment links within your rss feed. I don’t know if this is part of the problem or not, but it’s worth a peak.  When DISQUS is activated and if your current commenting system is deactivated are these links within your RSS feed still trying to connect to the old commenting system?

Without looking at the page when DISQUS is activated I’m just making guesses.

You might want to consider using google’s feedburner for your rss feed. It’s very simple to set up, free, and collects statistics on how many subscribers you have.  Another really good reason is that Chrome doesn’t render rss feed pages. Going through feedburner circumvents this issue. Since Chrome is now the most-used browser (29% of users) it gives you a lot of incentive to find away around their rss blemish.

 @moinshaikh what are you thoughts?

Okay, I just reactivated DISQUS and enabled “comment counts” under the advanced settings and now the feed is working. It says that this will output DISQUS Javascript in the footer. I am hoping that this is the fix I needed as I love the DISQUS commenting system.

There’s a feedburner subscribe box in the sidebar. I’ve deliberately left it below the fold as I want to get more subscriptions to the feed through Aweber. Am still playing with things though. Thanks for those tips Jules. I’ll have a look.
