A bug in WordPress 2.01 detected

Hello everyone! During my ever continueing quest on housekeeping I stumbled on a nasty bug in WordPress. This happened after my risky upgrade to WordPress 2.01.

RSS, XML, FeedBurner feeds

What happened When clicked on the badges on my sidebar I only got ‘comments’ feed. This happened for all the syndicates (XML, RSS). A search on the WP-forum delivered me with this post. I would suggest to all WP 2.01 users to read it and fix it with a few extra pointers from me. The bug report is rather sparse in how to fix this problem.

Fix the Feed Bug in WordPress 2.01

Open up the file “classes.php”. It is in the directory /root/wordpress/wp-includes/. Search for line number approx. 1299. There you see this:

// Comments
$comments_rewrite = $this->generate_rewrite_rules($this->root .
$this->comments_base, true, true, true);
$comments_rewrite = apply_filters(‘comments_rewrite_rules’, $comments_rewrite);
// Search

The problem lies in this line from the part listed above.

$this->comments_base, true, true, true);

It is not complete. Fix:

The FIX

Just edit that line until it reads:

$this->comments_base, true, true, true, false);

Notice the addition of the boolean ‘FALSE‘?
When added and uploaded my problems were over.
I hope it will help your feeds too.
