   sorry, I posted to early. uggh.

   I am trying to get my RSS to work and I get the following message.

   XML Parsing Error: syntax error
   Location: http://www.maryandstephan.com/wordpress/wp-rss2.php
   Line Number 1, Column 31:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="'.get_settings('blog_charset').'"?>

   I am working on Mac OS 10.2.8 and with Firefox 1.0

   any suggestions?

   Login to your blog and go to Options/Reading. What do you have in the "Encoding for pages and feeds" field? If nothing is there (that's what it looks like), try utf-8 .

   For some reason that line is outputting the get_settings() function as literal text. Make sure it looks like this in the wp-rss2.php file:

   <?php echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="'.get_settings('blog_charset').'"?'.'>'; ?>

   Hi, I am also having trouble with my RSS fee.
   site is
   http://macenstein.com/default/
   It looks like it is looking for a file in a feeds/atom folder.
   I don't have such a directory.
   I don't know what I changed, but somehow my RSS doesn't work anymore.
   Can anyone tell from the error you get what the problem is?
   Or is there a place I can download the original clean files it is looking for to upload?
   thanks

   Macenstein, you have attempted to create a /feed/ and /feed/atom/ directory. You need to remove these. /feed/ and /feed/atom/ are virtual (non-existant) directories which provide a "pretty" way of linking to your dynamically generated feeds. If you create /feed/ and /feed/atom/ directories, the feeds will not work.

   Macmanx, thanks, but i only added those when the regular way stopped working. Obvioulsy I don't know what I am doing. But I ave removed those and it still doesn't work.
   Any ideas?

   Yes, do a search on the error received:

   "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent in wp-rss2.php on line 10"

   Evidently some "white space" has crept in at least one file so the index's redirect to wp-rss2.php gets boinked. Your actual feed, however, is fine (as of this moment ;):
