Why are there no items in the category feeds of my self-hosted WordPress blog even though my overall feed is fine?

I have a self-hosted blog at raddevon.com. My overall feed updates normally with all my posted items. I am using my categories in my posting, but all my feeds for the three overall categories on my site are empty.

The category feeds:
http://raddevon.com/category/gaming/feed/
http://raddevon.com/category/tech/feed/
http://raddevon.com/category/internet/feed/

I'm running WordPress 2.7. I would really appreciate any insight you might have. Other resources have failed miserably to answer this question. Thanks!

Are you running any plugins? If so, disable all of them and see if you still have this issue. If that fixes it, start re-enabling them one at a time until you find the culprit.

If that doesn't do it, try a stock theme to see if that caused the issue. I've seen some really bizarre stuff happening with themes that weren't fully 2.7 compatible.

I'm running quite a few plugins. I'm also running a theme from elegantthemes.com. I will try your suggestions and report back.

The culprit was Category Visibility Plugin (iPeat release). Thanks for the advice, toomuchpete.
