I’ve tried a couple of different feed fixing plugins but to no avail.
Without knowing what plugins you’re running, the only thing I can say is something is putting 19 bytes of null characters at the start of your feed. That is the reason it won’t validate. (The <?xml…. part has to be the very first characters)
The only option I know of is to start disabling plugins one-by-one to find the offending one.
I did go though all of my plugins and disable them one by one to see if there was a culprit. But no luck.
Any other ideas of where I could look to find those spaces being added to the feed? Where is the feed being generated?
Aarron, it could be a file in your theme as well. Switching to Twenty* temporarily for testing purposes would help you verify this.
Try:
– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
Hey, Alex.
Your little experiment worked. When I switched themes the feed started working again. I went through line by line and found one line in header.php that was causing the problem.
Thanks everyone for the help!
Hello,
Only my comments show up on a site called Bloglovin.com that is supposed to show images and links to all my newest posts. Bloglovin support said my feed is not valid. I check it and it is. I even have the plug-in “RSS Feed Validator” that shows it is good.
Bloglovin specified that the problem is when the website tries to go to http://www.lauralily.net/feed it is redirected to http://lauralily.net and so it cannot grab a feed. Please help me get my comments off Bloglovin and my posts back on!
Thanks!
