 * Hey folks,
    Ok found an issue surprised that nobody has reported this till now.
   Anytime I have Ad Inserter activated it invalidates my RSS feed. I have deactivated
   all plugins but Ad Inserter. I then ran the feed through a couple of different
   feed validators and they all came back invalid. If I turn off the Ad Inserter
   Everything comes up valid. I will leave the plugin running so you can look at
   troubleshoot this little bug **Feed Validator** line 2043, column 1: Undefined
   channel element: div [help]
 *  <div class=’code-block code-block-4′ style=’margin: 8px 0; clear: both;’>
    ^
   line 2044, column 81: XML parsing error: <unknown>:2044:81: not well-formed (
   invalid token) [help]
 * … -94ed-f2b565484e91″></div><script async src=”//z-na.amazon-adsystem.com/ …
 * **Cast feed Validator**
    [http://castfeedvalidator.com/cache/RSS_5b34083a3cf21.rss](http://castfeedvalidator.com/cache/RSS_5b34083a3cf21.rss)
   is invalid XML, likely due to invalid characters. XML error: > required at line
   2045, column 82
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Finvalid-rss-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * By default Ad Inserter does not insert anything into RSS feeds:

 * Please make sure RSS feed is disabled for **RSS feed**.
 * However, it may be possible that the feed is created using page content where
   Ad Inserter has already inserted ads.
 * Please check.
 * In order to check the website and plugin settings please enable remote debugging:

 * Alright, I added the remote debugging for you. I didn’t think you had any reason
   to mess with the RSS that is why I found it odd too. When I disable your plugin
   the RSS validates just fine. when it is activated the feed is invalid.
 * Also, thank you for the speedy reply.

 * Insertion of Block 4 is enabled also for RSS feed.
 * Please make sure RSS feed is disabled:
