hidden characters break rss feed

    Hi all,

    I run WordPress for a small group of user. One of them manage to add some “invisible” characters to the WYSIWYG editor from time to time, only when I switching to the code view I can see them. They are also not visible in the HTML but they break the RSS feed.

    I assume that this happens if the user copy&paste text from a PDF or other documents.

    As you can imagine, it is pretty annoying if the RSS feed breaks from time to time.

    I wonder if there is a way, build in or as a plugin, to cleanup posts before they are saved?

    Thanks!

    If you can figure out what what characters are, you can always use the content_save_pre filter to replace or strip out those characters. That would remove anything nasty and your use would never know.
