Title: RSS Feed Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # RSS Feed * Resolved [Hugh0223](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hugh0223/) * (@hugh0223) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-178/) * My RSS feed suddenly stopped working. The page reads: This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below. [http://www.alexandertolchinsky.com/main/?feed=rss2](http://www.alexandertolchinsky.com/main/?feed=rss2) * I did just change themes recently, but it was working right after I changed the theme. Does anyone know why it suddenly started doing this?

Your feed is a stream of XML data with no associated style information, because it’s supposed to be interpreted by a feed reader, not a browser. * Thread Starter [Hugh0223](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hugh0223/) * (@hugh0223) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-178/#post-6355103) * Ok, that makes sense; but there use to be a button at the top of the screen that people could click to “subscribe” that is gone now. Is that still ok? Also, how do I make it so people can sign up for email notifications. That was there before the new theme, but it is gone now. 🙁 * [MarkRH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markrh/) * (@markrh) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-178/#post-6355104) * With Firefox 39 in Windows 7 Pro I get my normal Subscribe button for RSS feeds. Does my feed work for you: * [http://blog.markheadrick.com/feed/](http://blog.markheadrick.com/feed/) * Could be something with your browser. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-178/#post-6355105) * Email notifications would be handled through a plugin. What plugin were you using for that? * Just a note, the only major browser that cleanly parses a feed with subscribe options is Firefox. Chrome, IE, and Safari just display the raw XML, unless you have added an extension to handle feeds. * [rap1996](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rap1996/) * (@rap1996) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-178/#post-6355125) * James, * I just finished building a wordpress recipe blog for my wife at [http://blueridge-spi.com/recipes/](http://blueridge-spi.com/recipes/) * I am running wordpress 4.2.2 persons can subscribe to my RSS feed but Google Chrome users as you stated above only display the raw XML. * I does parse OK in Firefox and IE. * After searching the web for a while, I found a wordpress plugin that was suppose to fix my problem. The plugin is feeeeed. I have downloaded and installed version 0.9.10 which is compatible with wordpress 4.2.2 See website [https://wordpress.org/plugins/feeeeed/installation/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/feeeeed/installation/) * I followed installation directions: * 1.Upload the entire Feeeeed folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3.Visit Settings Feeeeed. 4.Settiong and save. * I can not make sense out of instruction 4. So the plugin has not fixed my problem. * Can you provide any direction. At least 2 persons say they have got the plugin to work on chrome, but I have been unable to contact them as to that final step… * Any help would be greatly appreciated…. * Thanks * Tony * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-178/#post-6355126) * Please open your own thread about that: [https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting#postform](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting#postform) * Thread Starter [Hugh0223](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hugh0223/) * (@hugh0223) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-178/#post-6355168) * Thank you!
