MySite feature stapler for personal site collection master page branding not working

Question

I'm following this blog http://sharepointologic.blogspot.in/2013/04/branding-sharepoint-2013-my-sites-with.html and can't seem to get the feature stapler at the Farm scope to staple the site scoped Event Receiver to personal mysites. The host mysite collection gets the new master page but none of the personal mysites do.

My logs give some hint to this during the creation of the personal mysite:

Feature 'feature receiver guid' associated with Template 'SPSPERS#2' through feature 'farm scoped feature guid' is not installed in this farm, and cannot be added to this scope.

This indicates to me that the site scoped event receiver is not installed... but when I deploy via Visual Studio it says that the Deploy succeeded and there were no failures.

Answer 1

you have to give correct feature id. i had the same problem when i referred that post and almost worked for 2 days. now that you have already deployed, now even if you change feature id, it will not work properly. Now do the fresh project and provide correct feature id.
