Title: RSS broken Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # RSS broken * Resolved [dlpirl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlpirl/) * (@dlpirl) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-broken-10/) * Make installed great and configured well for me at [http://s2pmarketsignal.com/WordPress](http://s2pmarketsignal.com/WordPress), with one exception: the RSS feed is now broken. (So of course RSS widgets don’t work.) If I switch to another theme, RSS is fine. Oddly, [http://feedly.com/i/subscription/feed/http://s2pmarketsignal.com/WordPress/feed/](http://feedly.com/i/subscription/feed/http://s2pmarketsignal.com/WordPress/feed/) still corretly reads the RSS showing all my posts, but entering the URL [http://s2pmarketsignal.com/WordPress/feed/](http://s2pmarketsignal.com/WordPress/feed/)( with Make running) shows nothing there. Obviously I’ve tried un-activating and re-activating Make as well as turning off various other pluggins, all to no effect. The only thing that makes the RSS feed appear is to change to another theme.

We don’t have any other reports like this, so it must be something unique with your configuration. * Are you using a caching plugin by chance? * Thread Starter [dlpirl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlpirl/) * (@dlpirl) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-broken-10/#post-5855824) * Thanks for your response, Melissa. Nope, I’m not using a caching plugin. I’m guessing that there must be some logic error in how Make produces the RSS feed IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. Robust RSS Feed reading engines are able to work around it, but standard ones (like a browser or WordPress widgets can’t. Here’s the RSS code that is currently being produced on my site as read by a browser. As you see it gets cut off right after the name. I don’t know what the stuff at the top is.
