# RSS Feed – Broken?

 * RSS feed keeps coming back as invalid from W3C validator: [http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fourhomeschoolforum.com%2Ffeed](http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fourhomeschoolforum.com%2Ffeed)
 * Initially, the RSS feed was completely broken — but after disabling minify on
   RSS from W3 Total Cache, it’s partially working. Now, Chrome pulls up the feed
   no problem. I can get NetNewsWire to refresh it (takes a minute). But still no
   dice on the validation, which is preventing Mailchimp from pulling the feed for
   an RSS-driven campaign.
 * What are some culprits I should look into to fix this?

 * Hi, [@cstembridge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cstembridge/). I’d start
   with reducing the number of posts included in the feed to a more reasonable number
   like 10 or 20 instead of the 500 it currently contains.
 * You should be able to do that using the “Syndication feeds show the most recent”
   option under Settings → Reading in your Dashboard.
