Migrating RSS Feeds update

I am so foolishly trusting. It turns out migrating feed subscribers from wordpress defaults over to feedburner wasn’t just a case of installing the feedburner wordpress plugin. That is only half the job, there is a bug in the classes.php (found in wp-includes). Right at the bottom you will see:

function handle_404()

Remove the lines that read:

elseif( is_404() != true ) {
status_header( 200 );
}

This outputs headers when it doesn’t need to, fouling up the redirect!

Hopefully my feeds should be playing nice now …
