# Hide WP Version feed error

 * Hello,
 * Whilst running wget, I came across HTTP 500 errors being generated by WordPress
   when crawling RSS pages such as /feed :
 *     ```
       <channel>
       	<title>Thai Cookery</title>
       	<atom:link href="http://thaicook.local/feed/" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />
        ...
       	<sy:updateFrequency>
       	1	</sy:updateFrequency>
       	<error>
           <code>internal_server_error</code>
        ...
       ```
   
 * A working feed typically outputs the generator tag next, i.e. something like:
 * `<generator>https://wordpress.org/?v=5.9.2</generator>`
 * In the General settings I had checked ‘Hide WP Version’. When I unchecked, the
   error disappeared, so that suggests the error lies there.
