If none are, keep all plugins deactivated and switch to the Twenty Seventeen theme to check whether it’s an issue with your theme. * Thread Starter [jaishree10](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaishree10/) * (@jaishree10) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-does-not-validate-7/#post-9611349) * The problem still persist after deactivating all the plugin and changing the theme to Twenty Seventeen * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-does-not-validate-7/#post-9611564) * Can you keep all plugins deactivated and the Twenty Seventeen theme active to help us debug the issue? Right now the error is pointing at either your theme or a plugin. * Thread Starter [jaishree10](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaishree10/) * (@jaishree10) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-does-not-validate-7/#post-9612403) * Thank You Andrew. * I just deactivated plugins and switched to Twenty Seventeen * Thread Starter [jaishree10](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaishree10/) * (@jaishree10) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-does-not-validate-7/#post-9612718) * Hi any news I been long time i have just left my blog everything deactivated. * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-does-not-validate-7/#post-9615237) * I’m afraid I don’t know the solution or how to help from here. * Moderator [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) * (@otto42) * WordPress.org Admin * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-does-not-validate-7/#post-9616021) * [@jaishree10](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaishree10/) Your site still clearly has several plugins enabled. Yoast SEO, Google Tag Manager, W3 Total Cache, etc. Also, your theme is called “viral” so you’re not running the base theme either. * When we ask you to disable all plugins, we actually mean *disable all plugins*. WordPress isn’t doing this to your feeds, one of your plugins is. Without turning them off, there’s no way to see what the base line is. Then you turn the plugins back on, one at a time, to see which one breaks it. * If you’re not willing to debug the site and actually turn off the plugins to get that baseline, then nobody can actually help you. * Thread Starter [jaishree10](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaishree10/) * (@jaishree10) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-does-not-validate-7/#post-9616348) * Hi Samuel [@otto42](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/), Since no body responded and it was more than 1 day that i kept the plugins and theme deactivated and that was effecting my site performance. So had to re-activate it. I have now again deactivated the plugin. Please help * Moderator [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) * (@otto42) * WordPress.org Admin * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-does-not-validate-7/#post-9616360) * The problem is that you still appear to have everything enabled. Looking at the source of your site: * view-source:[https://flashtechloud.com/](https://flashtechloud.com/) * I still see you running the viral theme, and several plugins enabled. The problem is going to exist until you work out which plugin is doing the wrong things here. * I may be seeing a cached version, in which case, turn W3 Total Cache back on and clear the cache. * Thread Starter [jaishree10](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaishree10/) * (@jaishree10) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-does-not-validate-7/#post-9616374) * [@otto42](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) Please check again i just switched to Twenty Seventeen theme - This reply was modified 8 years, 6 months ago by [jaishree10](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaishree10/). * Thread Starter [jaishree10](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaishree10/) * (@jaishree10) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-does-not-validate-7/#post-9616393) * cleared cache as well [@otto42](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) * Moderator [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) * (@otto42) * WordPress.org Admin * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-does-not-validate-7/#post-9616420) * Yeah, okay, so the issue persists. * In your site itself, you have some garbage after the ending /html line. Some random divs that make no sense. * Your feed has a whole normal page added to the end of it, which makes no sense either. It also still has all the plugin and theme stuff in that content. * So, I’m going to guess that it’s something wrong with your cache. You might try renaming the advanced-cache.php file in /wp-content to make sure the cache is really disabled properly. More and more it looks like a caching issue. * You might also try checking to make sure that none of your WordPress core files have been modified. On the Upgrades/Updates page in WordPress, there’s a button to reinstall the core files. This will overwrite your WordPress with a fresh copy, but without deleting any content or anything else. This can be used to ensure that you don’t have any modified WordPress files.
