Hm... It's kind a strange. Maybe it is related to your permalink stucture. I know that WP render RSS feed for any page. Did you try to display RSS feed manualy? Will that solve your problem?

Site feed should be on /feed/

Also, it can be found on /category/your-category/feed/

as well as on /tag/your-tag/feed/

Just put /feed/ in place where you need and that should solve your problem.

    How did you register those post types? Did you place the code inside functions.php or you use some plugin? If you solve it inside functions.php make sure to set arguments: 'has_archive' => true, 'feeds' => true, I hope that this will help.

If your WP installation not affected by any rewrite rules tranformer (that manipulate rewrite rules list) i can imagine only one case when its possible... you don't have post (with post type 'post'). Hoever first assumption you can check with debug bar plugin... take a look what's in WP_Query tab inside...

    Ok. you basicly just got an answer on question - why it doesn't work. WP will give you 404 on any page that in result doesn't contain any post inside (any post type). What i think you need to do is change default rewrite rule for feed to your last posts. Can you give me an idea what post type you want to show in feed ?

Solved it

I think the custom post types does not display in feed by default.

It worked when i add following code in function.php

//enabling feeds for custom post types..
function myfeed_request($qv) {
if (isset($qv['feed']) && !isset($qv['post_type']))
$qv['post_type'] = array('news', 'results', 'events', 'video-gallery');
return $qv;
}
add_filter('request', 'myfeed_request');

Thanks
