Not a biggie. It's a new feature for bbPress within the last few days. They're still discussing the Akismet support we have now as well and the issues that it's causing over on the wp.org forums.

It's moot. Webspammer has been blocked due to TOS issues. Do note the 'Blocked' label under their username where you have Member and I have Moderator.

If any of the original posters ever get around to answering the question posed to them, we'll be happy to help them.

Depends which is why in Post #2 I ask specially what feeds are you trying to add in. Some folks try to add in just the RSS feed and you can do that via an RSS widget found at Dashboard -> Presentation -> Sidebar Widgets. To add them in, click and drag teh RSS widget over to one of the sidebars. Click on the little box within it to give it a name and an URL. You can add in more RSS widgets at the bottom of the page.

Which is what the original poster stated is what they were doing.

The problem is that if it's not working for them, we have to see what specifically they have done to see what was done incorrectly which is why I keep asking to point us to an example of what they were doing. If we can't see what they have done, we can't help them. We're not mind readers not matter how much my ex assumed that I was.

That and folks aren't reading the threads that they post in. Two follow ups and not one actually read the thread that they posted within.

Maybe the questions we should ask you is "Where are they supposed to be??? How should they be added? Will you please explain that process from scratch?"

/drmike bangs his head against the keyboard a couple hundred times.

OK, *ONE* more time:

I don't see where you have added them in. (I might be missing them though) Where are they on your site currently so we can see what you have done. Also which specific feeds are you trying to add in.

I have the same problem. I added Technorati in my blogroll, but when I put that widget on my sidebar it gets crazy (the blog design desorganizes itself). What can I do?

Yes, Plenty of links. :-) Thanks for checking on the website. T went to FAQ and "thought" the issue was resolved. I guess not. After I followed the directions no feeds went on my site. I would like to add google, feedester, bloglines, BlogBurst, technorati, and feedburner.

Thanks Dr. Mike

I would like to place RSS Feeds such as google, feedester, bloglines,technorati, and feedburner. When I try doing it from the side bar widget page of wordpress RSS is does not show up on my side bar. Any suggestions.
