RSS feed's not working (12 posts)

    A few people that read my blog say that my RSS feed does not work for them - in fact, it never has. I've never fooled around with it myself so I have no idea why it wouldn't be working in the first place.

    Here is my website:
    http://www.spiffykerms.com/

    and here is the RSS feed, broken:
    http://www.spiffykerms.com/feed/

    Does anyone know a quick fix?

    Why are my posts being deleted? I'm bumping them so they get noticed, as I would like the problem fixed :(

    Do not bump posts on this forum. Putting posts at the top doesn't help them get noticed here. The volunteers who try to answer questions look for those without replies first. If you bump a post, then it disappears from the "no replies" view. DO NOT BUMP.

    BEFORE POSTING (aka Forum Rules)

    Lots of people would like their problems fixed too. Yours are no more urgent or important.

    Try removing the replicated <head></head> markup from your theme's header.php file.

    Like esmi said, remove the following from your header.php file:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>spiffykerms.com</title>
    </head>

    You have duplicate <head> elements and it's causing the error in your RSS feed.

    I apologize esmi, I was directed here by the folks at wordpress.com and didn't realize they were two completely seperate sites.

    I tried to delete what dbmartin mentioned above. However everything under the meta tag could not be found.

    This is what I see in my wordpress wpadmin file on my website... i've tried deleting various tags but am at a loss of what to delete, since I do not see multiple header tags.

            elseif ( is_page() ) { single_post_title(''); }
            elseif ( is_search() ) { bloginfo('name'); print ' | Search results for ' . wp_specialchars($s); pageGetPageNo(); }
            elseif ( is_404() ) { bloginfo('name'); print ' | Not Found'; }

    In your theme folder, you should have a file called "header.php". Is this the file you're looking at?

    Because when you view the source code of your site we see:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    Notice at the top you have <head> tags twice?

    Hi I am having a similar problem at my blog at http://lezgetreal.com/

    Now I don't know if something got messed up in the move to our new host... or if something happened during our up grade to 2.8.1 but the rss2 feed has stopped working....

    I still have my comment feed... and it appear that I might have my Atom feed still

    Ugh :( It's so strange because in my header.php in my themes folder (online only as in here: http://www.spiffykerms.com/wordpress/wp-admin/theme-editor.php) only shows this.

    <?php thematic_create_doctype(); echo " "; language_attributes(); echo ">\n";?>
    
    <head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
    
    <?php 
    
    thematic_doctitle();
    thematic_create_contenttype();
    thematic_show_description();
    thematic_show_robots();
    thematic_canonical_url();
    thematic_create_stylesheet();
    thematic_show_rss();
    thematic_show_commentsrss();
    thematic_show_pingback();
    thematic_show_commentreply();
    
    wp_head(); ?>
    
    </head>
    <body class="<?php thematic_body_class() ?>">
    <?php thematic_before(); ?>
    
    <div id="wrapper" class="hfeed">
    
    <?php thematic_aboveheader(); ?>   
    
        <div id="header">
            <?php thematic_header() ?>
        </div><!-- #header-->
    
    <?php thematic_belowheader(); ?>   
    
        <div id="main">

    It still hasn't been fixed :(

    I just want someone to login to my wp for me and fix it all lol :/
