This is a terrible error, requiring reinstallation of wordpress. The basic installation is swrewed up.

You can’t get access to the wordpress dashboard nor can tinkering with anything (e.g. wp-config.php) help.

SOLUTION ON DREAMHOST

1. Make sure you backup the database through phpmyadmin

2. Take a backup of all server files through FTP. While you CAN’T use most of these files again, you may need some of them, e.g. images that you have separately uploaded.

3. Delete ALL files on the server (including . files, e.g. .htaccess)

4. Go to one-click install and install a new wordpress through Dreamhost

This will provide a totally new table prefix. You now need to:

a) backup the database in case needed again

b) one by one drop and reaname tables

THIS IS VERY COMPLEX BUT NO OTHER WAY EXISTS.

This is how my blog feed works, after I stopped using Jetpack.

1 ) email subscribers

Through Feedburner

2 ) facebook and pages

Through Networked blogs

3) twitter

Through Hootsuite [this is how to do it]

4) Linkedin

Through dlvr.it

+ Linkedin Freedom and Capitalism group.

5) Tumblr

Through dlvr.it

6) Google Plus

Jetpack was free, but have removed jetpack. No other free service available.

Have had another bout of feedburner issues. Had issues with the https://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/ping –

Your Ping resulted in an Error “We were unable to process your ping. You must ping with a URL that exactly matches the channel link (RSS) or alternate link (Atom) in your top level feed element pointing back to your website (e.g http://myblog.blogspot.com/), or use your feed URL (e.g. http://feeds.feedburner.com/myuri).”

http://feedvalidator.org/ seems to have a problem or two, as well:

This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.

Solution

1) Tried removing all plugins. The first error went but not the second one.

2) Tried reinstalling wordpress again. No luck.

3) Reset permalinks:

Go to WordPress settings > permalinks > (set to) default > (then set back to) month and date.

4) Resync’d after all this. No luck. Still feed problem.
