 * Hi
    it seems that you are using some image resizing plugin which adds “resize
   =200%2C200&ssl=1” to images url which breaks the xml. for example [https://i2.wp.com/www.zorgethiek.nu/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/informeren.jpg?resize=200%2C200&ssl=1](https://i2.wp.com/www.zorgethiek.nu/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/informeren.jpg?resize=200%2C200&ssl=1)
 * a possible solution would be to change plugin settings to “xml by dom”
    please
   try it and let me know: go to wordpress settings > Custom Simple Rss Plugin >
   Set Defaults tab on the bottom of page you will see “build output xml with:” 
   please choose “xml by DOM” and update.
 * let me know if that helps
    all the best Danny
