    Hi
    Since updating to 4.2.3 the category feed has stopped working.
    This feeds into another app and is causing me massive problems.
    SO where i put http://website.com/category/name/feed/
    it comes up with the error

    This page contains the following errors:

    error on line 30 at column 2: Extra content at the end of the document
    Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

    Direct link to the feed here:

    This isnt the case with 4.2.2 as i have a test site and its working perfectly.
    A fast fix to this would be a massive help as its imperative i get it sorted asap

    Thanks
    Dave

    Same feed on my staging site running WordPress 4.2.2 with all the same plugins etc.

    The xml validator:

    http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Faudchurch.staging.wpengine.com%2Fcategory%2Fthis-week%2Ffeed%2F

    tells us that a “content:encoded” tag should not contain style tag, and indeed the first tag after the break in the faulty feed is of this type with this feature.

    So try removing:

    <style type="text/css" scoped="scoped">.fusion-fullwidth-2 { padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; }</style>

    temporarily from the content of the “Welcome…” post.

    What version of WordPress did you update from? Recent versions don’t seem to have altered the code that makes the feed.

    Hi
    Thanks for this @lorro but this is taken from the test site feed which is actually working fine for me.
    The live site isnt though and is causing problems and doesnt show it as a valid feed.
    This has only happened since the 4.2.3 update

    OK, so on the live site, try temporarily removing the style tag from the post. That should make the xml valid.

    What version of WordPress did you updates from?

    My reason for asking what you updated from is because I couldn’t see any changed rss files in the list of files updated from 4.2.2 to 4.2.3. That may have explained the reason for the problem…

    I’m not suggesting you update the test site yet.

    It doesnt make sense, as the subject matter on both sites is exactly the same.
    No difference between the posts as this was a backup i did before updating the live site, so something must have changed in the 4.2.3 update to make my feeds not work..
    Its highly frustrating

    True. On the live site, did you try temporarily removing the style tag from the post.

    yes, and it didnt do anything.
    The original feed has changed since last week now and the same problem is occuring.

    It seems to be sorted now, think it was more a theme conflict!
    The theme has been updated and all is fine
    Thanks for all your help anyway!
