FeedBurner Ping Doesn't Update in WordPress
FeedBurner is a service offered by Google that enables advanced syndication of website content. FeedBurner will allow content published to your WordPress site to be syndicated to remote sites and readers. The method WordPress uses to notify FeedBurner that new content is available is known as a ping. Normally, FeedBurner is updated automatically. You will need to troubleshoot your feed in the event that FeedBurner does not update when content on your site is updated.

FeedBurner with WordPress
-
FeedBurner uses the Extensible Markup Language (XML) to syndicate a website's content. FeedBurner offers an XML service named Pingshot that enables your site's feed to be automatically updated. If you have not configured FeedBurner to use PingShot, first enable this service through the FeedBurner administrative interface.
Troubleshoot FeedBurner
-
Activate Pingshot in the FeedBurner administrative interface. Manually ping your feed with FeedBurner, available through a "Pinging FeedBurner" link within the "Troubleshootize" tab of the administrative interface. After this, update your feed and publish or edit content to test the updates. One common problem that can afflict WordPress pings to FeedBurner involves cache plugins. If you have enabled a caching plugin for your WordPress site, disable it temporarily and test whether your feed updates. If it does, you will need to disable caching of RSS for your plugin or install an alternative WordPress cache plugin.
