 * Hey there!
    I’m trying to validate this feed, but it looks like there’s extra
   HTML going into the feed from Sermon Manager somehow? I’m getting this error:
 *     ```
       line 14, column 14: Undefined description element: p [help]
   
       	<description><p>Sermons from Anchor Community Church in Long Beach CA</p>
       ```
   
 * Also, from ITunes:
 *     ```
        Can’t submit your feed. There is no description tag in your feed, or the description tag is empty.
        Can’t download episodes from your feed.
       ```
   
 * This is despite the fact that all fields are filled out in Sermon Manager.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffeed-not-validating-12%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Okay, I reinstalled everything, and switched to a different website, and am now
   down to just the error: “Can’t Download Episodes from your feed”. Each sermon
   is linked to an mp3 file.
 * I switched to this feed: [http://sourcechurch.net/?feed=rss2&post_type=wpfc_sermon](http://sourcechurch.net/?feed=rss2&post_type=wpfc_sermon)
 * Any help with this?

 * Hello!
 * Regarding extra HTML, it’s just a matter of disabling option named “HTML in description”
   in Sermon Manager Settings -> Podcast.
 * Regarding the issue of downloading the episodes, it’s because PodTrac is not 
   configured correctly. You’ll need to log into your PodTrac account and whitelist
   your domain. If you don’t know how to do it, please contact PodTrac support or
   disable PodTrac tracking in same settings screen as for HTML descriptions.
 * Thank you for your patience.
