 * I’m using category podcasting and my category feeds are not working, this is 
   what I get when validating through Feed Validator:
 *     ```
       Notice: Undefined index: default_url in /hermes/bosweb26b/b356/ipg.slapdashcastcom/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/powerpress/powerpress.php on line 1501
       ```
   
 * Just go to Feed Validator and enter [http://www.slapdashcast.com/topic/podcast/vigil/feed/](http://www.slapdashcast.com/topic/podcast/vigil/feed/).

 * I’ve added code to PowerPress for the next release (version 6.0.3) to prevent
   these notices from happening. We thought we got them all years ago but apparently
   not.
 * You are getting notice messages based on your server setup for development. I
   would recommend turning off notices on your server, it poses a security risk.
   If you’re unsure, double check that you do not have the WP_DEBUG define set in
   your wp-config.php
 * If for some reason you cannot change your server settings to turn off notices,
   you can install the latest dev version of PowerPress which fixes the above. Just
   let me know and I’ll send details.

 * Sir, you are a scholar and gentleman. Not only did switching off WP_DEBUG fix
   my feed problem, it has fixed many other issues that I have been getting. (I 
   just forgot to turn debug off.)
 * Thanks a million!

 * Great. This will be fixed next update though in-case you do turn debug back on.
