WordPress 2.0.6 FeedBurner issues

January 8th, 2007

It seems that there’s a problem with WordPress 2.0.6 and FeedBurner.  You’ll notice this problem in FeedBurner’s FeedMedic screen which will give you an error such as:

Your server disconnected us before sending the full source feed content. If your blogging platform is TextPattern, this is a known bug, and a fix can be found here: http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=11247

There’s a simple workaround for this issue - it involves editing /wp-includes/functions.php.

Find the following:

if ( substr(php_sapi_name(), 0, 3) == 'cgi' )
                @header(”HTTP/1.1 $header $text”);
        else
                @header(”Status: $header $text”);
}

Replace the above code with the following:

//      if ( substr(php_sapi_name(), 0, 3) == 'cgi' )
                @header(”HTTP/1.1 $header $text”);
//      else
//            @header(”Status: $header $text”);
}

Save the file and resync your feed at FeedBurner.  

These changes will be rolled into WordPress 2.0.7 so there’s no need to worry that these changes will break anything.
