RSS Feed is showing incorrect categories

Despite all of the seo options on easyblog being correctly set and every other aspect of the component now showing the correct url (seo url corresponding to the correct category, etc), the RSS feeds show the wrong category.
ex: This covers all the latest and shows a single category in the url despite it being for a completely different category. http://www.xxxxxx.com/acc/latest.html?format=feed&type=rss

**Please do not edit the seo settings as a first resort because every time support does that, they reset ALL of the livefyre comments and erase them all from the site. Thanks in advance!
hey austin,
looks like you clicked the wrong feed link. in fact there are 2:
one for the global rss subscription, that's the one you shared here in the form latest.html?format=feed&type=rss
the one for the category rss looks like this: acc.html?format=feed&type=rss

to make it even more clear I'll attach a screenshot here: http://screencast.com/t/4JYIJtjF5pI underlined would be the correct rss feed link to subscribe to the category.

hope that helps

Hello Austin Cox,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.
Can you provide us with your Joomla backend (provide the URL also) and FTP access so we can help you check on this?
Also, is it possible provide us some screenshot which latest blog post feeds showing wrong categories as well? Please advise.

I did provide the user access in the first post. Adding it again on this one.

Screen shot attached. Feed shows all "latest" posts in RSS feed when users try to subscribe to a single blog or cetogry. It lists it all as one single category regardless of which category users subscribe to and then populates with every single article.

lmao! I got egg on my face, but don't care because you put me on the right track. I'll just need to pop into the template and remove that global link since everyone is clicking on that. Thanks for the head up and correction.
