   Hi,

   At http://www.murky.org/UKPoliBlog I have a syndicated site, (made of feeds)

   The issue is that & appears in the links, which invalidates the feeds for each column.

   The fix is to change & to &, but as I don't directly control the links this needs to be done automagically, ideally <?php permalink_single_rss(); ?> would have a filter which replaced & with & in links (not replacing & with & of course!)

   Does anyone know how I can achieve this?

   A fix... now, how do I submit this as a patch?

   In the file:

   feed-functions.php

   the permalink_single_rss() function needs updating:

   function permalink_single_rss($file = '') {
$url = get_permalink();
$url = str_replace("&", "&", $url);
$url = str_replace("&", "&", $url);
echo $url;
}

   Now to find the error in the link to comment feeds....

   In the file comment-functions.php

   function comments_link( $file = '', $echo = true ) {
$url = get_comments_link();
$url = str_replace("&", "&", $url);
$url = str_replace("&", "&", $url);
}

   Finally, in feed-functions.php :

   function comments_rss($commentsrssfilename = '') {
global $id;

   if ('' != get_settings('permalink_structure'))
   $url = trailingslashit( get_permalink() ) . 'feed/';
   else
   $url = get_settings('home') . "/$commentsrssfilename?feed=rss2&p=$i
   d";
   $url = str_replace("&", "&", $url);
   $url = str_replace("&", "&", $url);

   return apply_filters('post_comments_feed_link', $url);
}

   I'd really like to submit these as possible patches (if nothing else it'll prevent recurrence in the future), any clues?

   OOps, should have been:

   function comments_link( $file = '', $echo = true ) {
$url = get_comments_link();
$url = str_replace("&", "&", $url);
$url = str_replace("&", "&", $url);
echo $url;
}
