The error is: * XML Parsing Error: syntax error Location: [http://www.mikelearn.com/?feed=rss2](http://www.mikelearn.com/?feed=rss2) Line Number 11, Column 63: ————————————————————–^ and XML Parsing Error: syntax error Location: [http://learnguitars.com/?feed=rss2](http://learnguitars.com/?feed=rss2) Line Number 11, Column 63: * I did an automatic upgrade for a couple plug-ins… other than that, I have not made any changes.

I am somewhat new to the software and this is the first problem I have had.. how do I look at the feed source? * Thread Starter [Head Roller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/head-roller/) * (@head-roller) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-down-all-day/#post-1031354) * To clarify.. I see what you are showing by “view source”, but I cannot figure out which file within the system is calling that info. * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-down-all-day/#post-1031370) * When you see this at the top of a feed: * ``` ``` * And then see the same stuff on the top of all non-feed pages as well, it would certainly seem that you have a plugin issue. * So, our of curiosity, if you disable ALL plugins and change to Default theme, does your feed work? * If so, while still on Default theme, start enabling plugins and checking the feed. Any results? * Thread Starter [Head Roller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/head-roller/) * (@head-roller) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-down-all-day/#post-1031397) * I disabled everything, overwrote the plug in that is causing the issues, and over wrote all the word press files. … Still the same issue. No change with default theme either. * [kmessinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmessinger/) * (@kmessinger) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-down-all-day/#post-1031406) * That junk is in your index.php file most likely. No html should be there. If you need to add html, use header.php as it is the file most like index.html. * Thread Starter [Head Roller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/head-roller/) * (@head-roller) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-down-all-day/#post-1031413) * OK.. I have been working on this for a couple hours now. I completely deleted all files associated with the DM-ALbum Plug In… and the rss page worked. I added the plug in back in.. it all quit working. * I deleted the files again and re-installed the last version (before the upgrade from 2 days ago) and the issue cleared up on ONE of the blogs. LearnGuitars.com works fine now. * I followed the same procedure for MikeLearn.com, and it did not work. While the [http://www.mikelearn.com/?feed=rss2](http://www.mikelearn.com/?feed=rss2) page looks fine, it does not show up as an RSS feed in the widget at LearnGuitars. com and LearnAirbrush.com. * I have given up for the evening. * Thread Starter [Head Roller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/head-roller/) * (@head-roller) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feed-down-all-day/#post-1031536) * I spent a lot of time troubleshooting this today. I thought I would report the outcome. * I completely removed the DM Albums plug in. I added the files back in one at a time, checking the RSS feed after each addition. I was able to narrow the problem down to the EXIF.php file for the plug in. I removed that file and the plug in still works and so does the RSS. * I have no idea what the deal is. The conflict did not exist until 2 days ago, but it is now fixed.
