RSS problem Internet explorer

    Hello,

    I have a problem with my comments RSS feed. It works fine on Mozilla or Opera, but on Internet Explorer 7 it don’t. I receive an error mesage like this (I use the spanish version but will tranlate the message):

    Internet explorer can’t show this font.

    Comment: It may also mean “source” instead of font, as the word is the same in spanish but I guess it refers to a character, as on the information about the error it shows:

    A ; character was expected. line 18, character 54

    I guess that a this means that there is a weird character anywhere in a file, but I don’t know on what file I should search for. I have reviewed the only post I have and everything seems to be ok. I also checked the commentsrss file, but I didn’t find anything strange eather. That said this last file seems to serve only for the purpose to redirect to somwhere else, but I don’t know to where.

    A strange thing is that the general RSS feed works very well, I only have the problem with the one for the comments.

    Any hint about a solution?

    Thanks

    I have discovered the same problem… In my case I updated 2 different sites, running 2 different themes. The regular feed works fine, but the comments feed is not working in either site.

    When I try to validate the feed, both get an error in line 18:
    XML parsing error: <unknown>:18:62: not well-formed (invalid token)

    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as I have group that uses this comments RSS feed daily.

    i would start by specifically uploading the file that generates the RSS feed for the comments again to make sure that there is no error in the file when it was originally uploaded.

    Sorry, but I need a little more help… What file would that be? I have tried reloading most of the files that appear to affect the RSS feeds.

    Yes me to, as the file named commentsrss only shows the following info:

    <?php
    /**
    * Redirects to the Comments RSS2 feed
    * This file is deprecated and only exists for backwards compatibility
    *
    * @package WordPress
    */

    require( ‘./wp-load.php’ );
    wp_redirect( get_bloginfo( ‘comments_rss2_url’ ), 301 );

    ?>
