  • There’s nothing wrong with your feed at the moment. but you could stop pasting content from Microsoft Word into WordPress as the pasted text will also contain Word’s own formatting. Sooner or later, this formatting will stop your pages from being displayed correctly (if at all) in Internet Explorer. If you cannot possibly manage without Word, paste your text into NotePad (or another text editor) first, then copy from NotePad into WordPress.

    Hi,

    I also got this error in my google sitemaps status.

    feedvalidator says my feed is valid but the google crawler says the same errors above.

    I just upgraded my wordpress to ver2.8.

    I wonder if that has something to do with the error. Google crawler has reported the error on the same day I upgraded wordpress.

    I am getting these same errors when I add my feed to the sitemap list on google webmaster tools.

    Not really sure what it means…. .should I just not add my feed?
