Extension? I tried the http://www.feeds.ramisp.org/ View RSS Feed bookmarklet and seemed to come up against a problem, though my wordpress RSS feed does pass the validator test at http://feedvalidator.org - I think the RSS Subscription Extension (by Google) - Version: 2.1.1 worked okay for me in terms of showing an RSS button on the address bar and prompting me to subscribe to feed. Sorry it's not an area I know a lot about. Hi @STERLING , in what way are you accessing RSS feeds in Chrome? bookmarklet? Extension?

Would you mind sharing this script? I'm hosting with pair. Stan Hi Gerry,

You said,

Glad to report, though, that upgrading the theme has fixed this incompatibility. RE: ‘subscribe to comments’ I had it installed, but it wasn’t working with this theme.

Not sure about zip files, doubt if this would be a filezilla function. More of a server/wordpress function. PS - get the 'subscribe to comments' WP plugin!

All I know is that before I enabled cgi-wrap, I was prompted for my FTP credentials and the first update I tried took approximately 5 hours and didn't finish in a satisfactory state. Since applying cgi-wrap the Wordpress admin does NOT need my FTP details to perform automatic updates and the core update takes less than a minute to complete. Regarding manual FTP, I did have to do that on two of my sites (using Core FTP) and because of the number of individual files to be uploaded, the process took in the region of 20-30 minutes. Does FileZilla have a special way of uploading zip files and unzipping them on the server? @Leon thanks for that.

I update all my wordpress blogs automatically via the admin ftp process. It asks for the ftp details on the upgrade screen, I put them in and a few mins later (max) everything is updated. Not sure if all this cgi-wrap stuff is necessary. Have you run it by your host? Also, if you want to manually do it via ftp in Filezilla, Dreamweaver or the likes just delete all folders and files except wp-content, .htaccess and wp-config.php and replace with the new versions.
