Fix Jaime Buelta feed URL: stale WordPress.com edge cache - #635
Merged
Conversation
The configured URL
http://wrongsideofmemphis.wordpress.com/feed/atom/?tag=english+python
redirects three times to https://wrongsideofmemphis.com/feed/atom/?tag=english+python,
which WordPress.com has been serving from a pinned edge-cache entry
(x-nc: HIT, last-modified: Sat, 16 Aug 2025) for close to a year. The
newest post in that response is "Agents and Agency" from 2025-08-10, and
conditional requests against it return 304, so Channel.update() logs
"Feed unchanged" indefinitely and no new posts ever reach the planet.
The origin itself is fine -- the same URL with a cache-busting parameter
returns current content -- so only that one cache key is stuck.
Switch to the tag-permalink form, which serves fresh content and keeps
the identical english AND python filter. Verified to return the same
post set plus everything published since August 2025, and to still
exclude posts tagged english but not python. Validates as Atom 1.0.
The new URL also drops the redirect chain and starts on a fresh planet
cache key, discarding the stored etag/modified that was pinning fetches
to a 304.

EDIT FEED
Hi, I need to edit my current feed url from
http://wrongsideofmemphis.wordpress.com/feed/atom/?tag=english+pythontohttps://wrongsideofmemphis.com/tag/english+python/feed/atom/The configured URL is HTTP, and then it redirects to an older cache. Changing it to HTTPS and setting the tags as part of the path should ensure the feed url is correct and up-to-date.
I checked the following required validations: (mark all 5 with [x])
Thanks in advance! 👍
