   Hi

   My feed at: http://christian-dating-service-plus.com/feed/atom/ gets this- ERROR: atom is not a valid feed template

   I am using revolution Theme Pro Media 3.0, and my RSS seems to be working fine. Is there anyway to fix this? Does iteven matter if I just switch to Feedburner?

   Thanks and God Bless

   Hi and thanks for the quick response...

   I went to where you said, but where in "writing" do I find anything about atom protocol, and how how do I do this?

   Thanks

   When I look at my Atom feed (http://www.technomad.be/blog/feed/atom/), I get the same error "ERROR: atom is not a valid feed template". All settings are put in correctly in admin - settings - writing).

   When I try to validate the atom feed in W3C, I get "Server returned HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error".

   All other feeds (rss,rdf,...) work correctly en validate ok.

   Since my blog is in dutch and use special characters, I implemented all changes suggested here (http://www.w3it.org/blog/wordpress-feed-error-output-solution-how-to/) with the same result: all feeds work, except the atom feed.

   Any ideas what is going wrong?

   For some reason when opening the atom feed url, the secure login for the wp-admin folder is required. But even with the right login the result is the same: all feeds work, except the atom feed.

   :-(

   @newhope4u and @tchnmd: you are using the podPress plugin and this plugin is very likely the cause for your problems with the ATOM feed.

   Try to get the wp-atom1.php from development folder http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/podpress/trunk/wp-atom1.php (Click at the end of this page on the link "Original Format"). (This file is based on the ATOM feed template of a more modern version of WP and puts a valid ATOM feed out.)

   And get the podpress.php from same folder (Cowload it via the link "Original Format" again.)
   (This solves the problem with the unreachable (or as the error message says: "... not a valid ...") template file.)

   Upload both files to the folder of your weblog where the podpress plugin is situated (probably: /wp-content/plugins/podpress/).
   (In addition to that, It might be necessary to clean up the cache of your browser or news reader to make the change visible.)
