Support » Fixing WordPress » Feed error — Bloglines says my feed URL does not appear as RSS

  • After setting my blog up with FeedBurner, I get an error when I check my feed within Bloglines. Their error says:

    “Bloglines has encountered an error trying to fetch the latest version of this feed. The error was:

    The feed URL returns a page that does not look like an RSS feed. This can be caused by the feed URL being incorrect, or it can be caused by a configuration issue with the server hosting the feed. If this error continues, you should check the feed URL and, if it is wrong, subscribe to the correct URL.”

    Over at FeedBurner’s Forum, I was given this advice:

    “You have a problem with your WordPress install on that one. For some reason it is spitting out HTML instead of valid feed XML. Once you fix your source feed, things should work correctly.”

    I don’t know what to do. ANY help would be appreciated.

  • Since you have your feeds set to redirect to Feedburner, there’s not really anything we can check on.

    Okay. I’ve deactivated the FB plugin. Can you take a look and tell me what I might need to fix now?

    I can’t say for Bloglines, but the w3c feed validator tool sees no problem with it, at least as is. So no idea on this, other than the issue of feeding your syndication through Feedburner.

    Thanks for checking. I appreciate your time! I’m going to reactivate the plugin and see if the problem starts again so I’ll know for sure (at least as sure as I can be).

    😀 Peace.
