Google-Feedburner/CommentLuv Snafu - The Solution
Have you been experiencing the same issues I have? For the past week or two or more I’ve been bitchin’ all over the sphere about bloggers CommentLuv plugins not picking up my last post. In fact, it kept picking up the post about, Google alerts, which at the time of this writing is more then 10 posts back.
Oh yea, really frustrating. Alas! Thanks to Andy Bailey, the tireless/fearless creator of this awesome Wordpress plugin, I have the solution! And, well yea, it was my fault. Oops.
The following solution is in Andy’s words, assuming you’ve had your Feedburner feed switched to Google,
“Visit commentluv.com and log in, go to the claim your site page and see if it still has your old feedburner url in the feed field. If it has, change it over and see if that does it.”
It did it for me, and will hopefully work for you as well. Thanks as always Andy!
—————————————————-
Side Note: There are MANY of you still running older versions of the plugin. These need to be updated or a host of issues won’t be solved no matter what you do…..it’s not difficult to click an update link 
.
Good luck!
Dennis

You should also change your subscribe to RSS form. I noticed it still submits to the old feedburner link.
And the reader link as well…
Go to your account to grab the new ones.

Nice catch. I’ll need to login and check this out Dennis. So far I haven’t noticed any miscues, so I must have my profile at commentluv set right.

@Colleen - Kennewick Real Estate, It doesn’t happen with all, so if you only do a minimal amount of commenting, you may not catch it…better to be sure all are updated anyway.

*sigh* … Guess I’m going to have to break down and change over to the Google way! LOL … As much as I love learning new things … I like them to be on my terms and as soon as I feel forced to make change … I tend to freeze up. Wonder what’s up with that?! Thanks for the heads up before I even knew I needed it … won’t be scratching my head and cursing! *huGs* Suzanne
P.S. Thanks for checking in on me …

So that’s why it kept showing a post i made a month ago. I was suspecting the problem was because of the transition i made to google feedburner but i didn’t know that i should update my feed in commentluv. Thanks for this. I’ll link back to you on this one.

I noticed that would happen on my comment occasionally but I just figured there was a glitch in the system every now and again. Just in case you are right for a change I’ve done what you’ve suggested

@Sire, I see some should take better care when reading a post. This came straight from the horses mouth.
February 10th, 2009 at 1:11 am
OK, auto feed detector was incorrect so I had to input it manually. Now it seems to be working.

Nice find. Oddly, my headlines are fine on half the blogs and off on others. This is one it’s off on. I’ll try your suggestion, as I’ve switched to Google already.

@Gennaro, My pleasure friend, I’m glad it worked out!
Mine were about 50/50 also, very frustrating indeed.

You see, that’s why I like to visit other blogs. I switched and it never dawned on me to check my feed subscribe button until I read the comments. Thanks Alex.
My CommentLuv seems to be working ok but on some sites, not yours, it’s always a post or two behind. I have no idea why.
I’m glad I finally got CommentLuv working on my site. I had to give up a $100 theme with a $75 upgrade to get it working. All for the best because I like my new theme.

Very true, if you do not update the plugin it will not work properly, thanks for the tip on FB, did not know that!

Just another reason why you should always use your own url. I see that you do seem to use a redirect plugin for your feed. Why not take advantage of it and submit “http://www.directsaleswebmarketing.com/feed” to all services?

I had the issue with the new feedburner link too. It crops up in other networks as well… you have to check most places that pull a feed to your blog to make sure they are still coming in right. But a change to the new feeds2 address has solved the problem everywhere I’ve been.

@Kikolani, Luckily for me I hadn’t started using feed directories yet for promotion…I could just imagine.
February 28th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
There is no telling how many are still being affected by this. I twurled it up to Twitter and shared it at both FriendFeed and cliKball to help get the word out. I’ve still got to make all these changes myself.
I finally and very reluctantly moved my feed to Google as I am still hoping for some alternative solution to using Feedburner. I sure wish they hadn’t sold out.

@GrowMap, Thanks for getting it out, I really appreciate that. I’m sure it’s still catching many and not just commentluv users either; Anywhere someone had a feed needs to be changed. I’m real glad I hadn’t got to the large number of feed directories yet, that’s for sure.
I’ve had no problem with it yet, but if one Googles feedburner alternative, it does indeed seem to be a growing concern.

Wondered why I never get a previous post shown. have signed up on the comment luv site just have to wait for an email now. I find it amazing when something is auto generated why it makes you wait so long for an email reply.
