I can write more if that doesn't disturb you enough.
Hey guys,

Asking here because my brain's absolutely fried and I can't figure out what's wrong through other sources. (Page after page of "I'm having this terrible problem!" "Me too!" is terribly disheartening.)

Anyway, I just redesigned my news site, ShortFormBlog (http://shortformblog.com/) and switched themes. For the last few weeks I had been regularly using the WP Theme Switcher plugin and hadn't had any major hiccups.

Well, about a day after putting it up, I ran into a hiccup: The RSS feed stopped working. Not just "oh crap, the feed's clogged." No. the feed comes up with a 404 error on the pages it's supposed to be using.

I don't think switching to the theme did it. It worked fine for nearly a day with the theme switcher plugin off.

I was playing with 404.php in the theme folder last night. But that shouldn't have done anything. And I made no other permalink format changes.

So I'm just confused. Any thoughts as to how this could happen?

EDIT: OK, I'm somewhere with it, but it's still not a great place. It appears that the default "/feed" URL is working. But getting alternate feeds, such as Atom and RSS (or comment feeds), is leading me to 404 pages. As a temporary solution, I set my default feed to "atom," but considering that the URL I generally use in Feedburner excludes certain posts, I'd like to fix it eventually. :(
