Title: RSS Feed Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # RSS Feed * Resolved [geckoinbelize](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geckoinbelize/) * (@geckoinbelize) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-134/) * I’ve just installed your plugin and I am trying to link my events ([https://hotguidebelize.com/events/](https://hotguidebelize.com/events/)) as an RSS feed to a mobile app. I get an error and when I use the Feed Checker at [http://validator.w3.org/feed/](http://validator.w3.org/feed/) it tells me there is a blank line (well 4 actually) before the XML statement. I’ve checked through all my function files and have deactivated all my plugins one by one and retested and no success. * Any suggestions? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Thread Starter [geckoinbelize](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geckoinbelize/) * (@geckoinbelize) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-134/#post-4901985) * I’ve just found the info at [http://stiern.com/tutorials/no-more-invalid-rss/](http://stiern.com/tutorials/no-more-invalid-rss/) for the utility that deletes the blank lines. Feed Checker now says it’s fine but the mobile app won’t accept it! * If I set it to [https://hotguidebelize.com/feed](https://hotguidebelize.com/feed) then I do get a feed of my posts so that suggests it is with the events page. I tried to disable the search feature, but the “Find Events” bar is still there) and just use the skeleton format but still no luck. * Also when I go to the /feed page it sees it is an RSS feed and I can subscribe using Live Bookmarks. But if I go to the /events page I just get a regular page on my wordpress site. So again, any suggestions? * Thread Starter [geckoinbelize](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geckoinbelize/) * (@geckoinbelize) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-134/#post-4902058) * I guess the advantage of working on this at the weekend is it forces you to try harder!! I now have the feed working. * But the events are showing the date posted not the date of the event. I’ve seen several conversations from 2012 about this and comments that it was to be addressed in a version 2.x – as you are now at 3.5.1 I’m sure this must have been sorted– but I don’t see where/how. Maybe it’s only in the PRO version – please advise. * Thread Starter [geckoinbelize](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geckoinbelize/) * (@geckoinbelize) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-134/#post-4902227) * Hi – is anyone monitoring the forum? Can you let me know if the sorting by event date has now been implemented and if it’s only in PRO. Thank you * [Brook](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brook-tribe/) * (@brook-tribe) * [11 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-134/#post-4902239) * I am glad you were able to get the rest working geckobelize. Our staff monitors this forum for our free users once a week. If you need more timely support you might want to consider our PRO plugin which includes 24hr response times on our PRO forums. * Basically the RSS field you are looking at is called “PubDate”. Our plugin correctly outputs the publish date to this field, not the event start date. However, if you would like to add event start and end dates to your RSS feed this can be done easily enough. We have a tutorial to walk you through it (Part B of the tutorial has example code): [http://tri.be/how-to-add-events-to-your-rss-feed/](http://tri.be/how-to-add-events-to-your-rss-feed/) * I hope that helps you figure out what you need. Cheers! * – Brook * Thread Starter [geckoinbelize](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geckoinbelize/) * (@geckoinbelize) * [11 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-134/#post-4902242) * Hi Brook * Thank you – now that I am looking at the full forum page I can see the “sticky” saying you only look at this forum on a Wednesday, which I hadn’t seen before as I was only looking at my post for updates – my apologies. * I did see the tutorial you mention, but it didn’t seem to change the sort order. I’ll put the code back in and try again. With so many people posting on the forum for so long that they wanted to display events by the event date rather than the published date, I thought maybe this had been included in the plugin now and I didn’t still have to mess around in the functions file. Maybe that’s a 4.x upgrade LOL! * Plugin Contributor [leahkoerper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leahkoerper/) * (@leahkoerper) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-134/#post-4902263) * Hi geckoinbelize, * Thanks for understanding about our forum policies 🙂 Definitely keep us posted- hopefully that tutorial code will get you all sorted. * Cheers, Leah Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘RSS Feed’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/the-events-calendar/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=2516440) * [The Events Calendar](https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/the-events-calendar/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/the-events-calendar/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/the-events-calendar/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/the-events-calendar/reviews/) * 6 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [leahkoerper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leahkoerper/) * Last activity: [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-134/#post-4902263) * Status: resolved
