Hello, I'm new to the forum altough I've been using PixelPost for over a year.

Now, to my issue: I recently changed my template to the very unique Simple visions 3 (http://www.pixelpost.org/v1/index.php?x=downloads&details=209) and everything went ok, except for one thing. If I copy paste my url (cieloraso.org) into any RSS reader, the subscription goes to the site of the autor (simple visions (http://simplestudio.org/visions/)) instead of mine, this only happens when I try to subscribe that way; if I use the rss / atom links at the top right of the page, the subscription does go well directing to my site. So what's going on? any ideas? I know many will think that subscribing by copy–paste method is silly, but many people do it, that's why I'm trying to fix it, I haven't succeded.

I need help, I hope someone can reply to this.

Thanks in advance.

I can not see anything that could cause this and don't see how the template could be at fault.

This is probably a odd cache or cookie issue.

Try clearing your browsers cache first and see if this helps.

I cleared the cache and cookies from my browser and the problem remains. Can you test it from yours and tell me the result? Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks, dwilkinsjr. I hope yuo can help me solving this.

I tested it last night and everything was fine. That's why I suggested you have a look at your cache.

I'm not sure what the problem is. What feed reader are you using?

I'm using google reader. I'm glad that everything went fine on your test, I guess it has something to do with google reader then, which is a good thing in a way.

Hmm, google reader SUCKS!

I see your dilemma now.

If you add http://cieloraso.org/ to google reader it shows the contents of the simple visions website.

If you add http://www.cieloraso.org/ to google reader it correctly shows your thumbnails.

I'm going to have to read up on how google reader pulls the feed links out of peoples templates.

Did the simple visions template require any addons or .htaccess files?

No, it didn't require any addon. But since my last reply a edited the code so all the pages refer to my feedburner feed (http://feeds.feedburner.com/ZoraKramer) , let's hope that solves it. At least now I know it is indeed a google reader problem.

Probably you missed same headers (in template files) like belowe but generated by Pixelpost:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS Feed" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/ZoraKramer" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom Feed" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/ZoraKramer" />

Sorry, GEoS, I didn't understand. Can you be a bit more specific?

Probably previously you havent got meta stuff like this:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" ....
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" ....

In your template files.
