Oh come on. TWO DAYS no reply for my issue? I really like b2evolution but man the support takes forever. It doesn't seem that hard of an issue.

I ended up deleting the URL for my Feedburner feed in the "URL" Section of back office. That got it to work for a small while, but it stopped working again.

Hi , @giandroid
The url http://www.giandosigurani.com/blog/blogs/blog5.php?tempskin=_rss2 works fine, not broken, isn't it?

@giandroid I think you were getting this error when clicking on the RSS link: "A redirection to an external URL was blocked for security reasons", so doing a simple search in the forums would point you to the solution very quickly: http://forums.b2evolution.net/?s=A+redirection+to+an+external&submit=Search&disp=search

Please see section "Allowing redirects to different domains" of this on-line manual page: http://b2evolution.net/man/advanced-php.

Regards!

Hmm when I searched for that error, I did not find that page on the forum. But thank you! I will update those settings and get back to you.

The ?tempskin=_rss2 url does not work for me for some reason... It did for a small while, bringing me to the on-site RSS feed, but it stopped working about a day later and just redirected to the front page.

As the forum post suggested, I changed the _advanced.php file to allow redirects, and my RSS feedburner feed works now. Thanks for the help.

Hmm. Strange. The problem restored itself once again. It worked for a small while, going straight to my Feedburner feed, but again it stopped working, redirecting to the main page. I double checked a few things:

/config/_advanced.php says $allow_redirects_to_different_domain = 'always';

Feedburner URL is correct in backoffice>Settings>Advanced

I did a cache refresh in my browser, and furthermore purged the cache on the server side. So it should have the up to date files. But it fails to redirect to my feedburner URL. And now it's not giving me the red "A redirection to an external URL was blocked for security reasons."

So for some reason when I make a change (about this one issue), it works for a little while and snaps back to non-working state. Any ideas?

@giandroid I'm checking your site and, at this moment, the RSS link seems to work correctly redirecting me to FeedBurner as expected.

Well if it's working for you it must be fine. I've tried it out on multiple devices, and it works MOST of the time. My laptop won't redirect, for some reason, and neither will my desktop. But when I try it out on the computers at school, it does work. It also works on my phone. So there's some kind of problem with my specific devices, which threw me off for a bit.

Thanks for all your help!

@giandroid what browser are you using on your laptop and desktop?

When you change the value of $allow_redirects_to_different_domain, the former redirection remains cached in your browser (at least in Chrome it does), so clearing cache just next to the value change is a must. Logout and login again will also do the trick.

Oh sorry I missed the email notification for this comment!

I use Firefox for both desktop and laptop. I do cache refreshes (shift + ctrl + R) often, and I clear the cache from the browser, but the changes still wouldn't reflect. Then I did a cache delete from the server side using cpanel on my hosting service, and another cache refresh, and voila! It finally happened.

Thanks for your help!
