I just took a look and I’m not seeing that error. Was it on your home page or some other page on your site?
No it was on posts. So does my feed look ok now?
I checked:
Home
About
Jobs
Location (I picked one from the dropdown)
RSS (for entries)
I didn’t see the error in any of those places.
Now that I reread your message, that looks like it might be a Javascript error. Are you using Internet Explorer (just asking, it looks like the type of Javascript error IE pops up).
I just checked with Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7. The site looks quite different from how it does on my Mac, but I didn’t get any errors.
yes its still giving me the error on posts feed
error on line 5 at column 398: Entity ‘hellip’ not defined
Is that the jobs page? Could you post the exact link?
In XML, there are only five character entities that are recognized out of the box. hellip
is an HTML character entity, but not an XML entity. You either need to eliminate hellip from your feed, or you may need to declare a DocType:
This may explain it a little better than I have:
“Reference to undefined entity” error in XML file
I also noticed that there is second bit of xml defined at the bottom by Google Site Maps. I don’t think that’s valid.
Have you added any plugins recently? Regardless, you may try disabling your plugins and see if that clears up the problem.
how do i eliminate hellip or declare a doctype. searched for “…” and deleted all posts that had that
How exactly is the feed generated and have you changed anything recently (plugins, etc)?
I did a plugin update :/ its “Standard XML Sitemap Generator” and “Google XML Sitemaps”
Try disabling those plugins. It looks like they are modifying your feed.
A second XML document is being tagged onto the end of your feed:

</sitemapindex>
which is illegal syntax and probably breaking your feed.
First see if that cleans up your feed, and then if you want to have a generated site map, you might want to try some other plugins.
I know WPEngine put Google XML Sitemaps plugin on their “disallowed” list, but I think for performance reasons. They replaced it with:
Better WordPress Google XML Sitemaps
You just want to make sure whatever plugin you use doesn’t add a second xml document to the end of your xml feed.
