• We haven’t changed anything on our site but suddenly our RSS feed is no longer working.

    http://www.ifthemuumuufits.com/feed/

    This is the message I see on our feed: This page contains the following errors:

    error on line 175 at column 56: Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !
    Bytes: 0x03 0x63 0x6F 0x6D

    This is what shows on our site now in place of the feed: RSS Error: This XML document is invalid, likely due to invalid characters. XML error: Invalid character at line 174, column 31

    It is listed as an unknown feed now.

    Any information on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hi! Just now I load the http://www.ifthemuumuufits.com/feed/ in firefox and see three links to three posts/pages, don’t see the above-mentioned error message text.

    Here’s a (text) paste of what I at this moment see:

    Does this mean it’s now fixed- in other words is it still broken for you?

    What RSS feed reader are you using to read the feeds?

    I was seeing the error message when I tried to open the feed in Google Chrome. It appears to still be broken for me there. It you look in the sidebar of our pages http://www.ifthemuumuufits.com/hello/ you can see that the feed title says “Unknown feed” and shows an error message.

    I’m not really using an RSS feed reader I’m just using the sidebar widget from WordPress.

    I found that when I removed this blog post http://www.ifthemuumuufits.com/faux-pas-or-fashion-savvy/
    the feed starts working properly again. Do you know what is in this post that could be causing problems?

    Hi! Thanks for the more information.

    I checked just now and saw the sidebar rss widget seems to be working. ( including a link to the http://www.ifthemuumuufits.com/faux-pas-or-fashion-savvy/ page too )

    I had checked before and I had seen the “unknown feed” error message– but now it seems to be working.

    Can we mark this thread as resolved?

    BTW, was is something about that particular ‘faux-pas-…’ post/page? or?… In other words, what was the cause and what fixed it?

    Yes, there were several invalid characters on that page that I could only see by copying and pasting that text into a text document (they didn’t show up in the WordPress editor). Do you know what causes this?

    Hm, I don’t know…
