 * Hello, Hope all is well.
 * Hoping someone can help me.
 * iTunes is not updating the podcast feed anymore, and when I check iTunes Connect
   I have an error message that states:
 * “Can’t parse your feed. Invalid XML: Error on line 121: The element type “meta”
   must be terminated by the matching end-tag “</meta>”.”
 * I have no idea what that means, I assume it means I have an open “meta” tag somewhere
   that needs to be closed.
 * I have checked online forums to find a solution to this problem to no avail, 
   and have exhausted all troubleshooting options, including:
 * – deactivating and reactivating Seriously Simple Podcasting
    – uninstalling and
   re-installing Seriously Simple Podcasting – reinstalling a previous version of
   Seriously Simple Podcasting – reverting to a previous version of WordPress
 * In regards to replicating this issue, and exact circumstances the only thing 
   I did differently before this all happened was update WordPress to the most current
   version, and update all my plugins, however, Seriously Simple Podcasting was 
   up-to-date already.
 * The RSS Feed on the website is getting all the episodes, and the website also
   shows all the podcast episodes. To this date, there should be a total of 35 episodes.
 * Here is the information
 * Website: [http://realmistry.com/podcasts/](http://realmistry.com/podcasts/)
 * Podcast RSS Feed: [http://realmistry.com/?feed=podcast](http://realmistry.com/?feed=podcast)
 * iTunes Store: [https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/lets-talk-halo/id1132289613](https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/lets-talk-halo/id1132289613)
 * I have no idea how this can be fixed, any help is much appreciated.
