Fixing Feed Problems

Just got an email from a feed subscriber that my blog’s RSS feed isn’t working (thanks Bob!). I noticed that two days ago when my Firefox’s Live Bookmark feed failed to load but I thought it was nothing. It’s working with FeedDemon though.

I’m now looking into it. Feedburner’s FeedMedic is reporting the errors. I should be able to find the problem and fix it asap.

Update:

Ok, I can’t seem to find a fix for this one:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://www.yugatech.com/blog/?feed=rss2
Line Number 196, Column 11: < title >< tags > page< /title >
————————^

Anybody experienced the same problem?

Update 2:

OK fixed it. Two problems. One is mine and the other is inherent with WP.

1) In wp-rss2.php, there’s a line there which involves changing < wfw:commentRSS > to < wfw:commentRss > . Note the capitalized SS letters.

2) There was a problem with the RSS feeds when you include the “<" and ">” chars. That was caused by my post titled “< tags > page”.

Removed your first comment. Thanks for that tip! Took me a while to figure that out. :)

      Oh Christ, my first comment didn’t appear correctly.

      Please delete it. What I’m trying to say was:

      Yeah, I encountered that error many times! It usually involves a syntax error either in the Title or snippet of the content body. In your case, it’s the < and > that is causing the problem. I suggest you change the title of your article called ”< tag > page” to something else to fix your feed. After you do that, go to Feedburner and reenter your feed URL so it’s updated. Remember also that the ‘&’ causes the same error.

      FeedBurner still thinks it’s broken.
