 * Hi.
 * I’m receiving an error when attempting to subscribe to my blog’s feed. The error
   is as follows:
 * > The XML page cannot be displayed
   >  Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet.
   > Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
   > ——————————————————————————–
   > A CDATA section was not closed. Error processing resource ‘[http://feeds2.feedburner.com/BlogIngenuity&#8217](http://feeds2.feedburner.com/BlogIngenuity&#8217);.

 * Is anyone able to shed a little light on this? I’ve done some googling and been
   unable really pinpoint a fix for it – I’m having trouble even finding what’s 
   causing it.
 * Thanks a lot.

 * Had my feed come back up, then start throwing this error again. Would make me
   think potentially it’s feedburner, except that it’s actually pointing to an error
   on a line of code.
 * Some Google results indicate it could have something to do with my Javascript
   declarations but I’m searching in the dark on this one.

 * Hi
 * I looked at your feed but found nothing conclusive. The RSS Feed validator says
   it passes but “interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be
   improved by implementing the following recommendations.”. I compared your feed
   output to another WP blog feed and the other did not have the questionable lines
   that yours does
 * Do you have any plugins running or functions in functions.php that could be filtering
   the RSS output?

 * Thanks. I’ll have to take a look after work. As far as I know nothing filters
   my RSS output. I’ll look in functions.php a bit later, then maybe start randomly
   removing plugins to see if that fixes it.
 * Thanks for the input and maybe I’ll have a solution later tonight.
