Verison 2.1 upgraded the feed to Atom 1.0. version 2.0.x used the older atom .3 feed whuich would have given you that error. * Thread Starter [tridad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tridad/) * (@tridad) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feed-error-1-3/#post-541016) * Sorry, I am using the newest version, 2.1.2 How do I let the site, [http://www.feedbase.net/Add.php](http://www.feedbase.net/Add.php) know that I am using the latest version — it’s not accepting my feed.

Specifically, wp-atom.php. Probably others as well. * Make sure you uploaded *all* the new WordPress files. I would double check every single file and make sure it’s the same as the version in the 2.1.2 ZIP file. Redownload the ZIP file as well, to be sure. * Thread Starter [tridad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tridad/) * (@tridad) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feed-error-1-3/#post-541041) * I didn’t upgrade — I used the install for free — the new version. But — do you think I should re-install everything? * Thread Starter [tridad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tridad/) * (@tridad) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feed-error-1-3/#post-541042) * My thought is if the install for free 2.1.2 is incomplete — wouldn’t downloading the same file create the same errors? As this wasn’t an upgrade — it was a clean 1st time install. * Moderator [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) * (@otto42) * WordPress.org Admin * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feed-error-1-3/#post-541045) * I have no idea what “install for free” is. * I would recommend doing your own installs in the future. From what I can see, you’re getting an ATOM 0.3 feed with a 2.1.2 version, meaning that whoever did the install messed up. I could expect that in a botched upgrade (some files not getting uploaded, etc), but they must have really messed up to make that happen with a fresh install. * Thread Starter [tridad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tridad/) * (@tridad) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feed-error-1-3/#post-541047) * [http://install4free.wordpress.com/](http://install4free.wordpress.com/) — it’s a service offered on the WordPress documentation pages. * [susiej](https://wordpress.org/support/users/susiej/) * (@susiej) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feed-error-1-3/#post-541062) * Re-installed — and still the same error. * Moderator [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) * (@otto42) * WordPress.org Admin * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feed-error-1-3/#post-541070) * Ahh. Okay, I admit it, my mistake. I was looking at the latest SVN stuff and not the 2.1.2 release. * It appears that 2.1.2 is still using the older ATOM 0.3 version. It also appears that this may be updated in 2.1.3, if and when. * You could try using the RSS2 feed instead of the ATOM feed. That would be at [http://www.triathletedad.com/index.php/feed](http://www.triathletedad.com/index.php/feed) in your case.
