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!

Best answer: 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.

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

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